what a great boat. im wondering the displacement without the trailer. im on the Chesapeake bay and recently sold my 36.4 Catalina. the idea of bow thrusters on a 30 sounds like fun. i like the black but i think white would be a better fit for the bay, heat concerns from the hot summers here. also keeping ice would be an issue. the simple design makes it very appealing, i know there tough and can take a beating. ive seen them offshore, 4ft rollers. i have a small 18 lund for fishing now, its nice but have my eye kinda set on a Kingfish. love it,
I agree with Fenton poorly installed and routed wiring around those batts. Twin 250s on a boat that probly weighs at least 15,000lbs??? You're gonna get to the fishing ground LAST on that boat. Needs transom doors for dock access.
Kelsey Schmidt I've lauched one of these in low water on a low angled boat lauch. Motors trimmed up and being careful we had less than 3 feet of water.
Far too much depreciation (for whatever reason) on the 3025...I saw a 9-year old one in Seward Alaska that was selling for $100k, that looked like new. I mean, it's a coastal mv that is more 'floating RV' than fishing vessel, not really equipped well for SCUBA use, too large to tow, too small to full-time marina, too big for gas outboards, not built right for inboard diesels...it just isn't 'built right'...which may be why it has so much depreciation over 10 years?! I mean, here I am looking for a pilot house that can be used in fishing and scuba...ideally 25-28 ft, would accept the 'amenities' of this thing...but the deck layout, the fittings, something is just 'wrong' about it all...and what's with 'diesel stove', 'diesel hot water', when you're running GAS ENGINES? Have you 'non-nautical-designers' not heard of PROPANE? Diesel appliances are to take advantage of your DIESEL ENGINE TANKS...not to add a 2nd liquid fuel to your on-board stores!!!
Wow that cabin door is way to short. Needs to be at least 6 in higher. Just asking to knock yourself out. Not a fan of black boats as they get way to hot in the sun and look dirty to fast. Love the look and seem very well built. Over all i would not buy one but would take it if it was given to me.
Shut off for the same seat for the passenger that's riding in the front that goes up and down shock absorber on it so then hitting the waves aren't as crushing on the spine somehow I think the owner should have splurged and put one in for the passenger that low rail behind the passenger or at least it looked like there was one
@SaltyDad Nope. Being anti-Trump means you haven't lost your grip on reality and bought into the ludicrous idea that a millionaire New York property magnate with a reputation for shitting on his business associates, shirking his responsibilities to his tenents, welching on his debts and lying practically every time he opens his mouth was ever going to give a damn for the morons stupid enough to vote for him. A man who claims he intends to "drain the swamp", then populates his cabinet with Goldman Sachs stooges, pols that have been compromised by the FSB and a selection of obsequious toadies was only _ever_ going to have his own narrow, superficial interests at heart. He has made America a global laughing stock and halfwits like you are too far gone to see it. "I love the uneducated", says Drumpf, and with followers like you, it's easy to understand why.
It’s good to see Spencer. No one can give a boat review better than Spencer.
Any corrosion issues with the stainless accessories?
So I guess you stand all day while fishing and/or driving the boat?
Good grief! Does it come standard with that nest of wires in the transom storage compartment? Otherwise looks pretty nice.

Nice to you have a new video camera. I've been watching your Discovery/Freedom 2025 videos with the stretched image....lol
you do realize that bottom paint is for boats that STAY in the water?
I know these are designed for the Northwest but why not offer A/C so people can take them south to for example BAJA???

Incorrect
That wiring in the back is a huge mess. hahahaha
What a beauty!
it looks cool man! i'd rather a white painted boat tho' but overall looks great !
Omg that's amazing there's a bow thruster in the front such inovative technology
I Saw your boat when I was boating yesterday 😂
How much water does this beast need to float?
Just curious for launch reasons?

Ok
That black cockpit has gotta be hot in the summer..............
Every bit of heat gain is appreciated when you're in Alaskan and British Columbian waters.
Kootney Lake is the bomb!
where is A/c unit?
I'll take the boat next to it first.. all day long. Yeah... Ranger Tug... looks so much better than this thing.
Ok
Stabicraft make the best quality boats
Nice

I wish l had 350-500,000 to buy a boat like that.
Looks cold and unfinished.
No rod lockers no tackle lockers 👎
Nope. Poor quality all round.
