TOP 3 Entry Level Boats Under $35k!

[@LifeOffshore]

What boat would you buy out of these 3 options; Robalo R160, Scarab 195, Mako 18 LTS?

[@PL-oe4bq]

Id get the Scarab 10/10 i like it the most the design is unique

[@gmogfx2632]

I’ll Take the robalo it’s nicer and cheaper than the rest

[@tobagotom]

I was thinking of a Boston whaler , but the Robalo looks good

[@jakes5530]

Yamaha > scarab for jet reliability. That said, I’d get the scarab out of those 3 choices. Best bang for the buck, can do pretty much everything with a jet boat.

[@striperking6083]

Robolo

[@50tmack]

Thanks a MILLION times for this video. It’s the only legit video that pulled up with “new boat $30,000”. I would love to see you do a similar video w the hybrid(?) center consoles under $30 or $40k. A fishing+ super family friendly. Thanks again so much. so extra love for actually giving a ballpark price!

[@fredolson70]

How about a top 3 list of affordable under $35-40,000 do everything type boat.

[@PropaneTreeFiddy]

For freshwater, a pontoon boat hands-down. Most forgiving to learn how to operate, easier maintenance access than any V-hull, and capable of handling dangerously shallow water for learning where the sand bars are. If you truly insist on a bass boat or bowrider, make sure it has an outboard engine. Doesn't look as cool on the water, but your wallet will thank you when the time comes for an engine overhaul. For coastal waters, similar deal. Find a well-kept used RHIB; again for it's forgivability and ease of maintenance, and the benefits of an outboard engine still apply.

[@quinney1141]

Thought it would be just different variations of the panga

[@clarawilliams2052]

Hi dear do you need help getting a new boat?

[@joeliebke6976]

I have an R160 and it does everything a family of 4 would want. Highly portable and easy to tow, stores in garage, and we can go from the ocean to the lake in the sane weekend. Fantastic boat.

[@valjauful]

@joeliebke976 no problem on saltwater? Ok for choppy waters?

[@joeliebke6976]

@valjauful we keep our boat primarily in saltwater. It handles the chop better than any boat in its class. We do saltwater fishing, lobstering, boat Beaching, lake runs, and we store it in a regular garage. We love it. Our family of 4 has had ours for 3 years, and we couldn't imagine not having it. We are in NH and regularly take it 8+ miles offshore.

[@theonlyDougBlack]

Really appreciate covering the different uses in this price range!

[@nofameculture]

Thanks for the videos! Can you speak about the Yamaha jet boats they are super hot at this moment due to price and reliability. Keep this series of videos coming very entertaining.💯

[@armgrower5451]

It would be really cool if the boats were really sold at these prices.

[@charleshoover4342]

They are

[@rileyshane78]

Well 2 years ago that was the price now it’s nuts 🌰

[@dayanmederos6564]

​@@charleshoover4342 in your dreams.. just the scarab is double the price. Depending of the jet engine configuration that you chokse they could be from 60k all the way up to 70k. Check your local dealer.

[@DanielCarrazana]

Wow 18ft Beam on that scarab Huge! KeyWest 1720 is a great unsinkable starter boat and is about $25k with base options.

[@gmogfx2632]

Lol

[@jasonvelasquez6673]

+1 for Key West. Positive floatation if totally swamped

[@sharonbraselton4302]

ñoóe length 8 fit beam wide

[@dwightbernheimer331]

Thanks for getting right to the point and keeping your videos short. Keep producing good stuff thank you. Happy holidays

[@FlatsFisher73]

Good vid. I would love to see top 3 small catamaran center consoles. 16-20' range.

[@markettrader911]

A 16ft CC cat? Better step up your budget game cuz

[@sunniekee9692]

Short and sharp comments. Good. No BS .👌

[@alabamasmokeywilson6818]

Great Videos I like you don't 20 minutes to get your point across. I already have a Starcraft Offshore 18 I'm working on. But these are great boats for the money

[@lindajohn8014]

Hi dear do you need help getting a boat ?

[@stephenrojas6533]

Good work chief! Keep em coming!

[@socalifone3044]

Scarab. Nice looking boat. If you want reliability in a Jet boat. Then go Yamaha. And in the rare event you need service. Dealerships are everywhere. Also everything on the boat is made by Yamaha except the stereo. Happy Boating

[@playnicebegoodtoothers6944]

Great video! Just looked up the Scarab 195 and prices have increased drastically as of this comment. Now at 57,795 according to their site.

[@TonyCardoso]

The Robalo R180 starts at $32k. 115 yamaha.

[@delawareteacher1182]

Great video, I did not think of these options, I'm on their websites now!

[@clarawilliams2052]

Hi dear do you need help getting a new boat for affordable prices

[@SproozGooz]

well done list, good tips

[@Jessedog11]

I bought a 1996 proline with a 90 hp 2 stroke force engine for 12 grand brand new- we fished the crap out of that boat! lots of fun back in the day.

[@BuiltAboveAllFitness]

Good vid, I have the 195 scarab with 300HP. went that way b/c it fit wife wants and enough for me. tho the price does start running up when you add all the packages. cushion package giving front and rear laying area for the ladies, fishing package gave use live well, fish locker, seats, rod holders, trolling motor and simrad. Wake package with tower, ski mode and ballast. So for all your possible needs it has it covered. to bad they stopped making the 195 and are focused on the bigger models, tho might go to the bigger one later.

[@jakes5530]

Can you do best performance (not fishing) center consoles under $350k?. Like renegade, sunsation, etc. Boats that can go 75 mph but dont cost $1M+ like MTI and midnight express do.

[@ct3pfd817]

Would be great to see sum comfy $20k ish pontoons..

[@socalifone3044]

Don't exsist

[@ct3pfd817]

Sun trackers

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

I got a tracker targa V-20. 20’ x 102” wide with 150 merc. For $30,000. It can handle Alaska bays and lakes. And it’s welded aluminum which is more suited for cold than fiberglass. If I lived in Florida I’d look more at boats like this video though.

[@darthnegrus9255]

Channel creator is Cuban Am AF 😂🤣🤣👊🏽 love it we goin w tha Mako dawg 👊🏽

[@calin7017]

I would like to see a video on RIB: Brig, Zodiac, Highfield, etc.

[@timw.9466]

I like the Robalo r 160. Portability. Storage. Big water capabilities

[@FamilyManMoving]

Looking for a starter boat for my kids - inshore fishing near the Florida Gulf. Perfect.

[@Options1_3]

The Bayliner element m15 is not mentioned in this video. It’s an affordable nice family boat going for ~22k right now. It fits in a single car garage and you don’t need a pick up truck to tow it.

[@danieldezauche8223]

Tks. Good info. The Mako is on my list now.

[@alaskaraftconnection-alask3397]

Robalo160 (& 180) would be my picks here. Very cool... appear high-value to lower cost ratio options without sacrificing quality and features that are important. Nice when there are boats that don't leave the economically wise needing quality running under-gunned. What would you say about boats of similar qualities that are not as open where a guy could get out of the weather and stow gear?

[@armandobrasil7880]

Could you do a top three of walk around cuddly cabin please and thank you great channel

[@anthonysiegel4685]

Do a 50k boat,,if applicable

[@lindajohn8014]

Hi dear do you need help getting a boat?

[@markgendusa3624]

Scarab. I dig it your videos, you could make them longer with a bit more detail, your content is good and not boring. How about some non center console rigs (sporty inboard outboard). It's fresh water here in illinois and the girls like to have a bathroom of sorts.

[@miguelmedina8292]

I see someone already suggested deck boats and sports boats top 3 list

[@lindajohn8014]

Hi dear do you need help getting a boat?

[@ct3pfd817]

Great video

[@MrBash82]

Love the channel man! My stepdad just retired from 27 years in the Navy and we're looking for a CC under 80k. If you could do a video with a list of the best CC, 23' or longer with twins engines that would be great. Thanks!

[@robertpoindexter8616]

I have an 87 Procraft with a 150 pro v on it..paid 4500 bucks for it remodeled it and for less than 6 grand I’m on the water in style with no payment…boat payments or new boats in general are for suckers ..good luck guys

We have a 22’ Róbalo, performance is great. I like the little one here too.

[@Legacyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

funny how the robalo r16 used to retail for 20k with the trailer... now you cant even find a used one for less than 30

[@hayezmohairbi]

Thx for the info. I guess a lot of us would like to see best 30 to 33 ft fishing and sleeping over boat for the family or friends kind of walk around boats so you can fish from anywhere in the boat. However it has to be budgeted boat. Good luck 👍

Can you do deck boats? Stingray 182 vs Hurricane 185?

3 miles a gallon or 1gallon every 3 miles. Great video

What’s the difference?

[@TheJustonemore]

@@GameChangersSportsNetwork none it sounds different if hear it one way your whole life then wha-po a different way

[@fierceflyer5]

Great video, I’d be interested in seeing a video on a multi purpose boat, fish/Wakeboard in 20-24’. I definitely like that Scarab jet powered. The Yamaha jet is awesome as well 💰💵

[@TheMrLebaron]

What do you think of the new Bayliner Tropy Series? We're lookking at the 22 CCX. Moving to Florida and have a pretty fast Tritoon, tho it cant be used offshore. I know Bayliner doesn't make the best boats. But she has a kid on the way, and we think that boat would be great for two dogs, us and a kid. Then move up to higher end boats as we have more kids.

[@lassiejr2115]

That Mako looked like a Nice Boat but really Its better to buy Used and buy a discount >

[@rtape02]

Can you do a video of bay boats/ hybrid bay boats? I’m looking for some less expensive boats that are capable for inshore but can still maybe go a little offshore in the right conditions

[@ducati_red9162]

Would love to see full inboard, go fast boats, deck boats, or even just runabouts

Thank you 🙏

[@scoutsniper9605]

Nice info thanks. I am going to buy one this month possibly 19 to 21ft. If you have info for this size please post a video. I have had plenty of boats before but all from 24 ft to 42ft. I am older so going smaller. What do you think of the Yamaha 21 FSH center counsel? Or a Key West 19?

[@jeduardo38]

Nice. I am new to Boating, I was considering the Edge Water 158CS (Yamaha 70HP), any advice on this vessel?

[@markmorgan5892]

Edgewater makes a good boat! The Doughtery family that owns Everglades boats which are very very well made boats started and used to own edgewater boats and then they sold out and started Everglades. But ever since the Doughtery’s left edgewater, edgewater is still making the boats to the same quality as when the Doughtery’s owned it!!
