Good reviews, but $100-300k for a first-time "starter" family boat is a costly mistake for a beginner to learn on.

These are all “Dream Boats” in my opinion. Also trailering and launching a 20+ foot boat maybe not the easiest for a beginner. But it’s really fun to look at the boats and I did enjoy the video.

We bought a Sea Pro 21 foot CC. It's a 1998. It has a 2 stroke Yamaha 150 with perfect compression on all 6 cylinders. We completely repaired and upgraded the boat, including new bottom paint, the double axle trailer including brand new rims, tires, and hubs, the electronics, the wiring, speakers, batteries, navigation, lights, everything. Total in the boat and trailer, including upgrades, repairs, rods, reels, tackle, tools, ... 18k. After we washed and buffed it, it looks like a brand new boat.

Think we need to retitle this vlog cause... That 235cc Everglades runs about 135k with all the options as shown.

I love this video. I know most commenters agree that these new boats are way too expensive to be literally starter boats for most people, BUT, I think it’s worth looking at features and trends, and then comparing the “new design thinking” to what may be available in an older, less expensive boat. After all, what people seem to “wish they had” on their current boats starts to end up on newer boats as a standard option…such as your alternating cup holder/rod holder upgrade!

Started with 17' cc with 70 2 stroke evinrude. Fished 25 miles off Miami for years. Used to make 50 ft charter captains mad because we would out fish them and their clients could see

The best boat in my opinion? The one your friend/neighbor owns. Meet him on time, buy the bait/gas/beer, help him clean it up afterwards and you will always have someone calling you to go with none of the headaches and expenses of owning/storing/maintaining a boat.

Thank you girls for the excellent information, as always, delivered in a very entertaining way. I'm in the market for a boat, having just bought a house in Port St Lucie. So, this information will come in handy.

Overall a good video. The Cobia 280 is high on my list. You missed the opportunity to show off the large front entry head on that one. It is an important feature for family happiness.

[carlnewton]

Your best one Yet! great sound with the new wireless lavs and some really insightful comments about the boat designs, and I love the repartee between you both, Fantastic! 👍

[michaelgaghagen]

You gals should demo the sportsman 232 open. Plenty of room for my tackle and dive gear. When I run offshore. The 25ft-28ft guys. Can’t catch me. 3 ft seas they got me.

[GayleSelvera]

Love these videos very helpful, saw some comments that these are too expensive for starter boats. Perhaps for lakes, inland etc. These are starter boats for the bay/ocean/gulf. Thats why the price point.

What brand and model sunglasses are you wearing at 6:25 please? Are they polarized? Thank you...

[anonymous]

Yeah I’ll stick with my $40k boat y’all buggin😂😂😂😂

[Mike-miyw]

I have a new 170 montauk but the 250 dauntless is the dream boat

[kevincrowe]

Thank you for your straight forward presentation of information in a pleasant way, about the boat not how cute you can be. Your so pleasant keep it up.

[MK-vcuf]

Do yall have a safety video on dangers you encounter and should be aware of for newbies ?

[redman]

I just put a deposit down on a Sea Hunt Ultra 255 SE for our first family boat. I figure it’s a good inshore and sand bar boat when the family is on and will be good for cruising the ICW with the seating and toilet and side entry door. Though when I want to take it offshore fishing it can make it. It also has a single engine for less maintenance and only drafts 14” so can get pretty shallow too. This one checked all the boxes for us. Though I haven’t actually been out on it since it won’t be delivered for 3-6 months so not sure if all of that will play out in real life.

Pretty new subscriber but im a huge supporter of GFT! Great content and as someone who loves the water they always impress!

[gorillahd]

Excellent video. The Cobia 280 is high on my list. You missed the opportunity to show the front entry swingout head compartment that is pretty large.
