You are on to something with your channel nothing else like this on UTube thanks for sharing your insight with the boats. Love the way you are talking about the pricing before you start the tour. Can’t wait to see the next video. Cheers 🥂 to the next great project 💯

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you much steva. That means a lot! And thank you for your unconditional support! 🤙

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

I like the way you categorized the boat type review videos. Amazing the cost of boats now. The Regal 26xo’s MSRP was $95k in 2019. You can barely get a 22’ center console for that now.

[@perfectfitboating]

That’s nuts! In just 4-5 years they’ve more than doubled! 😳We loved the regal btw! Thanks for the kind words brother! We’re trying to dial inthese style videos! 🤙

[@adventurekris6861]

Something to point out. Carolina composites makes BullsBay, Pioneer, and Avenger boats. Pioneer is the premium boat. The islander you all looked at is a bit entry level for Pioneer starting out but the hulls are foam filled versus the BullsBay which is not.

[@perfectfitboating]

Interesting! Thanks for the info. So many different brands being built by the same company. 🤙

[@macmccollum6064]

Had to watch this video twice. Second time I focused on the boats.

[@perfectfitboating]

🤣 hard for me to stay focused too! 🤙

[@yoshidasoft]

I went to this boat show on Sunday. My first one ever! Thanks guys for these videos as I missed a lot when I was there in person. :)

[@perfectfitboating]

Oh that’s great to hear! What did you think of it? We thought it was fantastic for its size! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤙

[@yoshidasoft]

@@perfectfitboating I really enjoyed it. Probably a little overwhelming for a first timer. There were some amazing boats that were way out of our price range but were great to see. Looking at getting a cabin boat which is how I found your channel. Keep up the great work!

[@perfectfitboating]

@@yoshidasoft that’s so great to hear! Sometimes going to these shows for more than one day really helps you take it all in! Good luck to you in your boat buying quest! 🤙

[@jimlimberakis8115]

That 25 Bulls Bay looks like a lot of boat. It reminds me of the Triton line of salt water boats.

[@perfectfitboating]

Man, I was trying to remember what boat it looked like and youre absolutely right! Just like the triton! 🤙

[@jimlimberakis8115]

@@perfectfitboating They do remind me of that hull. Were you able to find out if you could run it with a single outboard ?

[@perfectfitboating]

They never got back to us unfortunately. Maybe I can give them a call. I’ll get back to you.

[@brandoncatlin6829]

Bulls bay actually did buy their mold from the triton boat line, it is basically the same boat

[@jimlimberakis8115]

@@brandoncatlin6829 Thanks for the update.I really liked the Triton line. We rented a 26 Triton while in the Keys. It was rough while we were there and the boat took it without missing a beat.

[@bsg2580]

Nice walk through but you need to zoom the camera out a bit so we can really see the boat. It’s hard to film a small boat like this without a little wider angle. Slow and steady with the camera. Keep em coming!

[@perfectfitboating]

Will do! Thanks for the tip!🤙

[@bsg2580]

@@perfectfitboating internet is always complaining lol. There aren’t that many good boat tour channels so hoping you guys do well!

[@perfectfitboating]

🤣 true, but we welcome constructive criticism. We just want to get better! Thank you bud! 🤙

[@xSUPERoMANx]

They build it like that because it costs less for them to build and they can probably build it faster. They also do not want the boat to last forever. If it costs a FORTUNE to fix a fuel tank many people will opt for buying a new boat instead of repairing. Seems to me like a 20 to 30k job done properly on many newer boats.

[@perfectfitboating]

Totally true! They cut costs where they can and the buyer gets screwed.

[@Mike-gw9yt]

I think if the Sea Fox had better storage it would be a real contender. As is it has to much lounge and not enough utility.... Not hating on the lounge.

[@perfectfitboating]

Seems like alot of boats are going the route of being more loungey.

[@Mike-gw9yt]

@@perfectfitboating ..... True.

[@thomaschandler4831]

From what I hear a 30 to 35 ft boat is safer and much more stable in rough conditions ….. now that’s gotta be a big price tag .

[@perfectfitboating]

That’s true Thomas. Price tag can be double or triple no doubt! Thanks for watching! 🤙

[@johnvaughn-wu1ji]

20’ boat for 100k FOH , I’ll take my 1990 wellcraft that actually has 20’ of usable boat ! If I want to sit on the couch I’ll do that

[@perfectfitboating]

Definitely a lot of money. We’ll stick with our 24 Grady we got for $700 🤙

wide angle lens please.

[@perfectfitboating]

Will do! 🤙

[@flnative7553]

2025 models are going to release June1st. expect these prices to be dropped drastically as dealers are still sitting on 2023 new inventory. If you have a little patience the manufacturers are handing out rebates left and right

[@perfectfitboating]

This is 100% accurate!

[@flnative7553]

@@perfectfitboating I expect the prices across the board to drop at least 20% by next February. Manufacturers overshot their projections and people are just trying to feed their families. I am in the market for a 28 center but luckily I have access to 3 boats 30 everglades and 2 sailfish. So im in no hurry to buy when prices are out of control

[@perfectfitboating]

@flnative7553 I predicted exactly that a few boat shows back. I also heard there was a class action law suit going on with the manufacturers and the brokers for keeping prices high during and after COVID. So prices might drop even more!

[@flnative7553]

@@perfectfitboating I sold boats from 1998-2007 prior to the crash and have been in the industry for a very long time. I can understand a6-7% yearly or every other year increase but when 21 ft boats are selling for a 100k theres a problem. Not only that but we are talking about a depreciating asset. Never in the history boats have we seen boat increase in value like we are today. Middle and upper middle class have been pushed out of the market and now you are seeing the outcome. 2016 the sea hunt 27 was 122k new give or take a few thousand pending on options. you cannot convince me that the same boat 9 years later is worth the same with outdated electronics and motors that have over 1000 hrs on them. only the knuckle heads are buying them and regretting their purchase

[@perfectfitboating]

@flnative7553 exactly!! Been saying this for a while and I always repeat this comment: I remember when dusky had their 203 on the back of Florida sportsman mag for 29,995 plus tax with motor and trailer included. Same boat today is 90k 🙄

[@yoshidasoft]

Do you guys think the boat show prices are the best way to get a deal?

[@perfectfitboating]

Well, if you want a new boat then yes it’s prob the best place to get a deal. But, imo you can save tons by buying slightly used. And a lot of the time, you can get a better equipped boat buying used with low hours. Just a thought! 🤙

[@americanpatriot8402]

I wouldn’t pay 97k for a fancy cooler.

[@perfectfitboating]

Neither would we!

[@Midskier]

Totally enjoy your vids but Wow Bulls Bay 25’ pick of this category at the show…. Did you not notice the janky chrome tape stripe with all bubbles in it? Apparently Neither did the mfg or the dealer, how embarrassing. Maybe it is greatest, but the too obvious lack of attention to detail …. Geez, we walked right past it.

[@perfectfitboating]

Thanks for the comment brother. I did see the chrome stripe that looked janky. Youre totally right about that. Actually in editing I watched myself touch the striping and question it. Besides that, which is fair to call out, we just thought it had a lot of space and a lot of size for the money compared to the other ones. And topside was actually nice. Not as nice as tidewater (our second choice) but I’m totally with you on the lack of attention to detail. Our pick was completely based on bang for the buck. I’ll tell you what, whoever buys that boat better have the dealer fix that striping 🤣 Thanks for the comment! 🤙 Which one did you like?

[@jjourdan8014]

100k for scout and they put cheap plastic hatches on it. They should be ashamed.

[@perfectfitboating]

Way too much money imo!

[@gator-ii7sw]

maybe do a bikini try on

[@perfectfitboating]

Haven’t found any in my size (6ft 210 pounds) but if they do, what color would you want me try on? 😉

[@zackriden79]

this tells me 100k doesnt buy anything good with boats 21 foot ? no thanks

[@perfectfitboating]

Buy used. That’s where it’s at 🤙

[@zackriden79]

@@perfectfitboating what did you guys buy ?

[@perfectfitboating]

None. We have a 24 Grady we restored you can check it out on our page. We do boat show walk throughs because we love boat shows and people like seeing them too. We let people know what’s available in the market and compare them. 🤙

CC boats are way overrated - not wifey and family friendly - liked and subscribed - you CC boat buyers get 30% off MSRP minimum ok ........ ?

Wtf 100k for 20ft boats. People stop buying this shit and let the boat builders sit on their over priced shit
