The BEST Beginner/Entry-Level Center Console Boats | Miami Boat Show 2024

Welcome to today's video where we are taking a look at what I found to be the best beginner/entry-level center consoles at the Miami Boat Show. I wanted to find something that was family-friendly, fishable, single-outboard, easily trailered, and somewhat affordable. I think we have some great options here! Let me know which you like better in the comments, the Mako or Nautic-Star!

i wish they would put just a little more room in the center console to put a good size head in there..i believe that would be a good selling point for ppl new to boats in the 19foot to 22 foot range

Beginner boats, aka upper-middle class boats. Roger that.

$80, 000+ for a "first" boat? Nobody should spend more than $20, 000 (and that's even a stretch) on their first boat. Trust me when I tell you, you might think you know what you want. You don't. Whatever boat you get will be missing things you didn't even know you needed and have stuff you "knew" you wanted that you absolutely don't use. Buy a used boat and see if you're going to even use the boat. I see lots of really nice expensive boats rotting on lifts because people love the idea of a boat, but don't actually love the boat or boating. You're welcome.

I will be a first time "larger boat" owner come retirement. To keep the wife and visiting family happy I'm looking at center consoles in the 21-25' range. Seems like 87k-150k is quite the range when shopping for a OS CC family/fishing/cruising type of boat. Constructive critique: have the camera on gimble. It cuts off the "jerky" type of motion. Very distracting, for me, anyways. Looking forward to going to a few boat shows to "kick some tires" in the near future.

i enjoy your reviews. even entry levels look great these days.

Batteries dont belong in the bilge area. Shame

[mattgauvin]

Who is the genius at nauticstar that decided to put the batteries in the bilge? Asking for a friend

Keep up the great work!
Enjoying your videos as a new sub.

Economy is crumping - wait until it gets cold in December - I bought 3 911's during Covid - boat builders do not have legitimate, sustainable economies of scale - 30% off of their advertised price is easy - 40% off with one of their ridiculous high interest 10 year loans is even better - you do know they can't charge you a pre-payoff penalty right ?

[stevenmstrom]

Did you review any Pioneer boats at the show ???

[PaulyV]

2005 key west 186 cc. 300 hours on a MERC 115 optimax with trailer. 12500.

So if your bilge pump fails for whatever reason your batteries will also get screwed in the process.

Oh my, If these are entry boats, what is my 18 foot Carolina Skiff :(

[TC-okng]

lol comical ! you have no clue but you will soon.

You need to know something about boat before talking about them, they are not furniture for storing and sitting. Mako. Where is the livewell? 21footer for value boat $87k. You crazy, Key West is cheaper for 23 footer and it's mid range boat. You could sell some furniture with storage 😂😂😂😂

[guyyates]

Are you kidding me ....75k-150k ...you call entry level....ya. if your rich ...
