Can You Buy A NEW BOAT For UNDER $50,000?? | BoatUS

Think owning a new powerboat is outside your budget? Think again!
BoatUS Magazine's Lenny Rudow hits up the 2023 Bay Bridge Boat Show in Stevensville, Maryland, to show you that finding a new powerboat that's around the average price of a new car is not only possible, but you have a lot of great choices!
You can find a bunch of affordable new boats from bay boats to watersports boats. But just because it's "cheap" doesn't necessarily mean low quality. Lenny shows you an easy way to tell if that budget boat is built to the highest U.S. safety standards by looking for an NMMA sticker.
WAIT! Before you say, "But that's just for the boat!" think again. Surprisingly, many inexpensive boats in the under $50K price range come with a motor AND a boat trailer!
So, take a look at these 3 great new boats under $50,000 if you are on a budget. If these aren't the right ones for you, keep looking. They're out there!

Love to see a 20 to 23ft center console for under 50K with at least a 150 outboard! Most are WELL above that! 😩

They're tough to find, but they're out there, John. Bayliner's T20CC comes in at $52 and change with a 150 hp and trailer. And Bayliner's T22CC gives you 2 extra feet. trailer, and a 150hp standard for the same price. Also take a look at Robalo. The 206 Cayman comes in at $52 with a 150 hp and trailer. Also take a look at Carolina Skiff and Parker 2100CC.

Robalo ! 👍

We've really been impressed with Robalo's value for the money, Tom! The R180 center-console starts at $45K and includes a 115 hp Yammy, the trailer, and a lot of great standard features (including an anchor). And it's still under $50K with the 150 hp upgrade. That was the only model that came in under $50k, but they have others that are just over that.
