BEST FAMILY FRIENDLY FISHING BOATS | FIND YOUR STARTER BOAT 

Right!? Beginning boat in the over $100K range is crazy. . .

$100k is pretty budget unless you want a tiny bay boat or something. I'm looking at a Robalo r230 for my first (right around $100-105k). I've been into ski racing for a long time just never bought a boat. Always went on friends'. $100-120k is reasonable for a beginner/first boat.

Buy a used one if the new price is too much.

And all the boats got a “2 thumbs up.” Useless review. Tell me what’s great, and tell me what sucks.

In most likely hood these kids didn't buy their own boat they do not live in reality of most families. An older pursuit 2460 may even be a stretch for most families but is a better family boat than their 6 figure selections.

I’d be surprised if you got it for that. High dollar boat! It’s a good one,but as far as a beginner,that’s a stretch

yep - you and I will not be fooled

Broncos Guru and Alfred running the Chit Show would be happy to have the new footage.

I’m rocking a ‘95 21 ft Pursuit center console with a Yamaha OX66. All in well under $15k. Hard to imagine dropping $80k or more for the 2021 equivalent!

They say you always work on your boat

@@analogdad9235 thats the power in being able to work on your own stuff.

The richest guy doesn't always get the prettiest girl

if you can fish you can fish - my bfam can fish

No truer words have been spoken

Exactly

So true to bad in my case I am the friend or the guy next door with the boat lol But it’s true as long as my friends pay their way or even use their truck to pull the boat they can always come along

Smart

There are times when that is true, while more often I want to be alone to enjoy the peace and quiet that is offered by being on the water.

🤣🤣🤣

We are glad this was helpful!!

After Covid restrictions were lifted, plenty of people wanted to get out of the house and go boating. Well along came Supply and Demand. That's why you see these crazy prices !

@@keithscudder7136 ah dang I guess I'm a little out of the loop, I haven't missed a beat 2019, "Meaning my life has been relatively the same" But I guess that makes sense.

😂

I boat a twin 30 footer as my first boat

Thank you!! Welcome to our channel 😊

Good ol days old timer!

Yeah Everglades likes to think they're Boston whaler in their pricing.

Go Pirates !!

Grady's quality is so obvious even to a novice like me. After I stepped on my first GW I knew I wanted it. Grady White Freedom 215 is my dream starter boat. I need to buy used because I don't have the budget for new but I don't see many available. Should I be looking around North Carolina area?

You got better at it over time and once you got the twin motors and learn how to use them it is easier. I had a 22 that was a bear to load on a trailer.

@@craig1lengyel oh totally, the 23 was so much harder to stay straight when approaching the trailer. The 30 with twins I can use one motor at a time to come in super slow and straight.

@@ericdavi1231 I hear yah. I have a 27' Proline with Twin 200's and go out by myself all the time. People i know think its all banged up from trying to dock it by my self. Just takes practice!!

Amazing!! Welcome to our channel :)

Well said. Or even a walk around.

You didn't catch anything because you were on a dual console. Definitely family friendly, but not a fishing boat.

Only top tier boats for the Gale Force Twins. 😊 These boats are great, but obviously aimed at families with above average discretionary income. It's like shopping BMW and Mercedes Benz vs Ford and Chevrolet.

They don't know the struggle like some of us lol. Shit my pop booth a Grady sailfish in 91 and I think he paid like 80,000 back then with everything Loran radar etc. Loran, the twins prolly don't even know what that is 🤣😂🤣

Unfortunately I can say I used a loran😂

I didn’t know the girls were noble my bad

It wouldn't make sense for them to do so since they are in FL and the market doesn't support cold-climate boating. You may want to try a northerners YT channel for boating.

@@kookiethebear cabins or canvas covers aren’t cold weather specific. I used to live and fish in CA, and a cabinish area was still very desirable to allow you to get out of the sun. I don’t know how Florida boaters spend all day in direct sunlight in a center console. Hot or cold, I need to be able to get at least 4 people out of the direct sun or cold if I’m going to spend 4+ hours on the water. P.S. 99% of the fishing RU-vidr channels I follow are in the PNW, so I’m good on that front.

No problem, buy the boat you want and then get it insured !

Make and model?

There's always something broken on a boat or something that needs to be fixed... but if it came with a bunch of problems I'd definitely try talking to the company and see if they can help with the repairs.

@@GaleForceTwins oh for sure. I’ve owned many boats but this is my first to buy brand new. The dealer said bring it back and we will get to work on it. The sad part is they did a “shake down” and run the boat and still send it out the door with all these problems. Took me 1hr in the boat to find all of it. Disappointed in the manufacturer and dealer letting it out the door. I have to haul it 4.5 hrs back and I bought from my nearest dealer. Just disheartening. But I will give them the opportunity to make it right.

They don’t make the prices… they only review what’s on the market

I've been looking at them, too. Check out the 'See Ya Dude' RU-vid channel. The guy runs a 2019 BX22. Might help you. Also, the Robalo Cayman 226 and Sportsman Masters 227 are on my list. Good luck.

Key west!

I don’t own both of them 🤣 but I can vouch for the 23’ key west BR. I Received mine in October and I am loving the ride.

@@angelc6395 thank you. I’ve researched the sportsman masters 227 since your comment and have spoken with a few people that own them. Given the reviews and price, I might go with that since we have a nearby dealer and service dept in fort Walton.

@@brycehartzog8154 You're welcome. The Sportsman Masters 227 looks pretty good. 👍

Looks like a good time Emily and Amanda gale

I wish I was there with you ladies at the boat show there in Florida Emily and Amanda.

@galeforcetwins obviously just spend their parents money... so they don't care about actual value$ and have a ridiculou$ view of life for $uggesting these a$ $tarter$.

Sage advice!

Y’all are sad and obviously green with envy.

Not everyone looking for their 1st saltwater boat is looking for “just” a bargain. I’m new to offshore fishing and set a max price range of 175k, this video was informative for somebody like me that has a limited boating background.

@@tyamey29 then take it from me as being a little further down the road. You’re likely to learn a lot unless you got incredibly lucky the one you purchased now won’t be the one you want later (or you may not realize that the one you got now is the one you want later until you’re a few boats down the road and decide to go back). My point isn’t about a bargain, Their video can be helpful however unless you have an endless budget (hey and if you do good for you) The average person isn’t spending hundreds of thousand over and over. Including these girls I’ve been watching their good videos for a long time and these weren’t their starter boat. My last boat was a 30 foot ocean runner , rigged with a lot of goodies but I realized I had went too big and it wasn’t practical for my family plus the fuel consumption made every trip expensive. I downsized to what fits 95% of my boating and jump on the charter for the other 5.
