The Most AFFORDABLE 23ft Center Console at the Miami Boat Show 2023

It's the FIRST episode of the Miami Boat Show series and we are starting off with a BANG. I heard so much in the comments on my 24 Pursuit walkthrough video that the boat was so expensive that I had to go out and find the most affordable 23ft boat to compare it to! Hope you enjoy!

My tidewater 220cc with electronics and trailer was 56k in 2019. This is insane. And the layout was better back then too.

$95k!?!?! Not affordable in my book. I was expecting $60-$70k!! Current inflation is definitely reigniting the "3 F" Rule - Always remember: If it can F@#k, Float or Fly, then it's cheaper to rent than it is to buy!

My brother just bought a new $40k pontoon boat, i was really suprised at how simple and easy everything was. I feel like you get so much more for $40k with a car. Why are these boats so expensive. I plan on buying a old center console with a blown engine, rewiring it myself and repowering

[jerrypauling]

Affordable? Funny none of them are worth what their asking.

[haroldbaca-arus]

Awesome video as usual brother. Keep it up. I like the boat, but I have to say boat prices are kind of ridiculous now days. It is a shame and is making it almost impossible for salt water lovers to afford one

[greybeardbaldgamer]

Help me out, WHO can afford this? Seriously, what kind of income do you need to qualify for a loan on this thing? I know very little about boats, but actually would love to get one. I FULLY expected this boat to cost around $45k-55k. I've wanted to own a boat for a very long time, but could never afford it... I guess nothing has changed. In the immortal words of Felix Dennis, "If it flies, floats or fornicates, always rent it. It's cheaper in the long run." I'm in no way bashing this boat, it's beautiful, I'm just truely shocked that 1) People can afford it and 2) they are actually selling at this price. Thanks for the video LS!! I just subscribed.

It’s all relative, cost of everything has skyrocketed thanks to sleepy Joe. Are there power options for this? Would like to see more HP.

The Yamaha 24 foot twin engine center caption is $78, 900 and way more options at the same boat show brother..

[bobbertee]

Considering this was last year, yes that's a decent price, in early 21 I payed just about 80k for a 239 SeaPro brand new, with a 300 Suzuki and a trailer, my boat last year was listing for

I like the layout of my tidewater 220 CC better, especially in the stern. Also, 95k might be a bargain today, but a year and a half ago I paid under 70k with a trailer. Boat prices in general are out of control. I wonder if these companies realize we're going into a global recession ?? I bet some companies go bankrupt. Just my 2 cents worth. Don't kill me for my opinion. I do love my tidewater btw

Beautiful boat! You can always use a self contained, or gravity flow type toilet for the head.

[tomarnold]

22' Yamaha CC starts at $56k. A foot shorter but 40% or so cheaper.

[stanfordhayes]

People who haven't been to a boat show in pass couple of years are in for a rude awaiting. The prices on new boats have gone up. I purchased my 210 CC Tidewater in December of 2020 from the folks over in Fort Walton ( great people to deal with). The 150 hp is way more than enough to push her along. So far I have found the Tidewater to be worth the cost. Grant you it isn't a Granny White or Everglades, but you do get a lot bang for your buck.

[JakeStevens-do]

Crazy what people think are affordable nowa days. I've been having a blast buying old used boats and modernizing them. I have a 1800cc wellcraft been taking offshore. About to find a nice cc offshore 25 to 32ft for 15k

[JohnDoe-rsgh]

Sea Hunt 234 ultra $89K with more add ons....sorry man

[jerzeedivr]

It seems to me that the 22-23' Boats Shrunk in size and length. Small Bow area and Small Fishing Cockpit In Stern area.

[Outdoorsyshoresy]

I guess the key statement here is most affordable at the Miami Boat Show- meaning they’ll get ya! hook, line and sinker.

[ChickContender]

Great 👍 video thanks. I'm looking at a 2017 model don't think they changed much.

[algosaurus]

100k and no head? Also, finish in that rear storage compartment looked shatty at best.

[noncched]

You can get the new Bulls Bay 25 with twins for under 100k
