Go to your local state park and rent a 20’ pontoon boat for $300 for 8 hours. With the weather, family obligations, and work I likely would not get on the water 8 to 10 tomes a year I can rent for 20 years and still be less than $50,000 and never have the cost of upkeep and repairs.

Very nice boats ,but take eight people out that is 7 that will forget gas and bait money . Will stick with my 1967 Sea King its paid for and not eating anything .
Look at a 170 whaler with no cabin. The profit margin is actually worse than a similar frp boat. Marine grade aluminum is very expensive and metal fabrication is more labor intensive than glass work. People look at aluminum boats as a downgrade to an frp boat. In most regards, except aesthetics and noise, the aluminum boat is the superior product. If you look at the situation with aluminum smelters closing down, and tariffs on raw aluminum products from Canada and other countries, the price will make more sense. If you don't require an aluminum hull, buy a glass boat. That would make the most sense financially. If aluminum prices come down, aluminum boat prices will come down. Let's hope they do.
Like that black dual helm but, the price is scary. Nice to be able to get out of the weather if you need to, hard to beat that option. Thanks for the boat show.
@@christopherb3802 I live in Baldwin County on the Eastern Shore of the Mobile Bay. Very common to see at $300,000 fishing boat being pulled behind a $100,000 pick-up truck. I always wonder how in the world they are paying for it and the insurance, fuel and upkeep!
That is not a jon boat. Aluminum boats get more expensive when they use more material. Doesn't matter if that is in boat length or material thickness. There is enough aluminum by weight in that boat to build multiple 18ft jon boats. These boats are superior to a whaler in every way for the intended use, and yet they are actually cheaper. They last decades and don't plug up landfills. Easily recycled. I have a Marinette built in 1960. Inside of the hull looks the same it did the day they built it. Planned obsolescence is not the strategy for aluminum boat manufacturing. So I hope the people with enough money choose to support them.
They are high priced because those are all welded with a full V, not riveted, full aluminum trailer with upgraded wheels & it ready to go out. I believe even life vest are included. Oh and also because the motors have gone way up in price. If you’ve been out in waves or even heavy chop with a boat that has only V in the front but the bottom is flat, it beats you to death. Full V helps cut the waves for a much better ride! That also have plenty of floatation when it will not sink to the bottom if it get full of water. Down south, we call it a Gill bracket, not extended transom & to have have that added to an existing boat costs about $8 to 10k )depending is the size boat) to build & weld on.
That 28 ft pilot is my dream boat , cross over from Haulover to Bahamas and spend a week fishing and camping out. All it needs is a portable A/C for the cabin. Sick boat!

Expensive, and then there’s the electronics, communication, safety, and fishing gear needed to make it work for you.

The problem with most of those boats is that you can’t let the damn fish we’re all falling out of the boat and rough weather. I like my 18 1/2 foot Lund I don’t need the extra 2 feet. They have a 20 1/2 footer also fits comfortably plenty of room in the back to fish down rigger and very short distance to the fish.

That’s really cool nick! I would love to follow the progress! Keep me posted.
These prices show how bad the dollar value is going down....it's going to be a rough ride.
@@subterfusion4005 yea we don’t get much for our money these days that’s for sure!
If you think I'm spending over $30,000.00 for a boat to go fishing on weekends and couple weeks of vacation all boat manufacturing are over pricing I'm just find looking for older boat
the vary last one and stick to the lakes
I keep watching a keep missing the wakeboard boats
@@andyeighttre check out my other videos. I have another video all about the 2024 wakeboard/ski boats.
Price is to high. Just look at the boat a home, and you will understand
Yes I agree. New boats are to much .
You would think for $61,000 they would include a propeller. Lol.
Propeller would be good!
What area is that? They don't sell those near me!
North of Seattle.
Marysville basically.
@@northwesthotspots6309 gotcha. Those would make good river boats in MN.
@@moedog5087 yes they would!
Who services them if you buy em at cabelas as or bass pro?
@@AK-ky3ou They’re made in Washington so probably take it to the main dealership.
35 years ago, gas was 1 dollar and a small boat was like 8-15 thousand and in 2004 everything quadrupled.
Why 2004?
@@northwesthotspots6309 Housing Market went out of control, prices went way up because of loans made high demand.
@@northwesthotspots6309 2004 was when banks would give anyone a home loan and house prices quadrupled and people started foreclosing imediatly after but all of society had a new lifestyle of spend and forgett your mistakes, now everyone feels valuable.
Boat prices have become completely insane. The average family cannot afford a modest fishing boat that cost over 6 figures..... Looks lie I'll be hanging on to my 25 year old cuddy cabin a few years longer.
Yes indeed. Looks like I’ll be hanging on to my inflatable pool chair.
Who can afford these CRAZY prices ,way out of the range for the majority of us ,CRAZY !!!
Yes us working guys make just enough to live on month to month.
I have a 2005 tracker Pt 175 bass boat with a 75 hp mercury.paid $ 6,000 for it mint condition.Onlu difference is mine is a 2 stroke motor.
Sweet boat for that price. 2 strokes not so good for trolling so you probably have a kicker.
I do have a trolling motor
I like the one with the shiter
Kind of nice to have when you’re out on the water! HA!
I could have sworn I saw those boats on Alibaba...
I’m sure they were cheaper!
I’m in the wrong business, I need to start building boats
If you know how to weld maybe you can!
The one with the toilet 🎉🎉🎉
Better have a toilet at these prices!
Just like the auto dealers, Cabelas figures that young people would rather buy a boat than buy a house. They would then complain that they don't have the money to buy a house
Yup. House first boat later!
Mako center console for me and affordable
Very fishable boats !
North River Brand for me
North Rivers are sweet! I show a few in my other video.
Well if you can afford the $65-85K for the pickup truck to pull it why shouldn’t they try to gouge you for similar prices for the boat you pull behind it? If people are willing to pay it, they will charge it.
That makes perfect sense actually! Some guys pay it even though the boat sits in the garage for 6 months.
Insane prices. See what they are worth in 2-3 years.
Yea no 19 ft boat should be the price of a n f150
Crooks......the boat is only worth at most 15k
