Florida Sportsman Best Boat - Keeping it Simple, 18 to 22 foot Center Cosoles

- If you want a small, easily trailered center console, an all-around boat where you can comfortably take the kids offshore for fishing and diving but still have a boat for the sandbar or pulling water toys, a boat in the 18- to 22-foot range may be the boat you’re looking for. Check these three boats out: Sea Fox 186 Commander, Release 196 RX and the Sea Born LX22.

Like the presenters very much,their knowledge and respect and advise,aswell as those three excellent boats,love those boats 👍👌
Rick Ryals is Legend Status...Been there, done that on every aspect of Saltwater fishing.
C-Dory 22 is the Swiss Army knife of boats.....
Jack of all.
Master of none.
Buy it
Great video, thank you!
great review - but it's very important to buy the size engine the boat is rated for at the very least - a 115 with a 60 gallon fuel tank is sketchy offshore imho ........
Wrong whaler 13 gose bahmas all the ime wsveruners too
18 vs 22 is kind of a big difference. Would have been nice to look at a smaller range of sizes. 17-18, 19-20, 21-22, etc...
Yes it buy 22 f I ter

Need todo more videos like this
Todo from the "Wizard of Oz" ?
man sea fox has gotten so much better they were never bad or anything but that redesign in early 2000s really took them up a notch.I ended up getting a 24 ft with 200 mercury and I'm super happy.
That Seafox 186 commander would be the perfect boat for me here downunder if it just added a T Top that folded down flat in front of the console for towing, and lifted up and pinned in place for use.
We need the shade here downunder in our sub tropics. But yes I like the look a lot.
I’d hate to think what it costs by the time you do exchange rate & shipping downunder tho.
I’m trading downsizing from a 25ft enclosed pilot house and want something that weighs on trailer less than 6500 pounds for towing restriction on vehicle (Lexus GX 470?).
Also has to be small enough for the wife & I to handle alone & we are both in our 60’s.
You made a nice video
I'm going crazy!! I want one of these so much XD
Contenders for life!!!
Sure.... if you make 6 figures. The rest of us are stuck in the 50 to 60K range.
lmao more like 20-30...to each his own
contenders r a terrible ride super wet
What about Mako 184 and Robalo R180?
24 up to 28 are the sweetest spot for CC boats.
factual can run those boats offshore and to the Bahamas on nice days and are perfect for inshore on tougher days
now my buying decision just got more difficult !
i think the most important of this video is the cooler for your drink
That’s sea burn looks like a great boat. Perfect layout We don’t see them up here in northeast.
Its sad but Boat Works in S.Windsor CT. had a chance to be a dealer for Sea Born but they didn't sell well, everyone that came in bought a Robala or Cobia...this is what the sales.an told me...I would love to have a 239 Sea Born with an Etec G2 300 hp
Could go with Bimini (deck tent )if you go with short boat if you stay over night with electric hot plate for cooking dinners to rod holder on the rail. or just pack a tent and beach it for the night. who doesn't like natural camping well (some women) LOL. 24' is nice size versatile boat
the Release 180RX?
that's nice cause sometimes the fish run under the bow and snap your line .
I bought a 22 Angler brand new back in th 90s. It was $13k with a 150 Johnson and perfomed flawlessly, never broke, an i beat it to death since i was in my 20s. Jump ahead to 2022, i bought a 2023 Sportsman 232 Open with a 250 Yamaha. $115,000. I was MUCH happier with my 22 Angler. Just sayin
I've lost my way in life working on that hamster wheel for nothing, now I know what I'm working for.
If you’re a diy guy, their giving boats away in Texas at a marina! They’re basically free! Just buy the trailer at salvage price!!!!
I’m picking up a flooded inboard center console (marina owner thinks 24’) for $170.00
With title! YES One Hundred And Seventy Dollars!!!!
She has center consoles, cuddy cabins, walk about, ski boats, bass boats, house boats, AND MORE! Some run good and go for a bit more, some are virtually totaled, and are free with bill of sale if you bring your own trailer !!
I can drop marina name if you’re interested!

I have watched so many of these good videos, but they never talk about rod and equipment storage.
Hi Rodney, we go into much more precise detail in our weekly boat reviews that are featured on our website. If there's ever a boat you want to know more about in regard to features and storage, that is the place to look!

Why not do the prices
I would say the sea fox wins this one, especially if you could get an aluminum T top thats a really nice boat right there
looked at the seafox. nice boat but extremely cramped trying to find easy access to rear livewell behind leaning post.
Oh my. SeaFox is literally the cheapest built boat on the market. Take your cell phone's flashlight to the side of the hull. It will light the whole deck its so thin.
Good video. I'm looking at a 17 or 18 Foot Edgewater.

Didn't you already upload this episode this week?
OK thanks for the reply I thought I might have been going crazy
I bought a Key West 196, Suzuki 140 4 stroke. I've been trying to find out if it is considered capable of running off shore to some of the closer reefs, maybe 15 or 20 miles out. With plenty of freeboard, full foam filled flotation, and a 60 gallon fuel tank, comparing my boat to the boats in this video I feel like I should be good to go. It is outfitted with a marine radio, and Garmin chart plotter. What are you thoughts on a Key West Bay Reef 196 being blue water seaworthy?
Absolutely on a nice day, my first boat was a 15' Sea Squirt, took it 10-12 miles out all the time out of Hillsborough Inlet, Lighthouse Point!
Should be fine up to 3' chop. At least that's what the forums and reviews are saying. Extremely high quality boats.
Jey boat bahmas run@@jeffrobdine
Yes yiu should ood boat
My mooring is limited to 18ft and I have/need to upgrade from my Whaler Dauntless DC. What to do.. what to do. If you have a mooring around here you had better keep it.

How good is a 1997 19 feet Wellcraft for offshore
Buy it Miami v8ce 38 fooit version
To go fishing on a regular schedule; 15-20 gal gas ($60-70), $20 for bait & ice is do-able for most of us.
Yes unless cabin crusrr. 70 galons too 250 galoons gas tank way more exosive cabin cras beast rough wayter ride

Prices ?????
They never give prices. These videos are like really nice commercials.
Ok anyone out there know of a 22-24 foot center console you can snag for under 40k?
Thanks for watching. Check out our boating page for a ton more reviews. www.floridasportsman.com/boating/boats/gear-center-console-boats/
Sadly that doe not exists for 40k you can get a 18 to 19 foot boat
@@Dylan-su3nu actually found a decent one. Stingray 216 cc with a suzuki 175, price 47k
Tommy Halcomb nice is it used or new
@@Dylan-su3nu 2021 model, new. You can google and check them out, pretty sweet for the price

Pete Zaborowsky it’s a heavy boat for example my family has owned the 222 robalo and it’s over 3000 lbs

For your shoes?
Troll the weed for Dolphin ?????

These guys are so full of bull! You never hear them give one criticism and i have seen many to choose from, you know they are getting paid to represent these boats-, total full of crap
I agree 👍 They are NOT doing it for free ! Glad theres a head because they are full of crap
Well obviously they said a sea fox is good
Sea Fox has always been garbage in my experience! Look at better built boats that offer this size like Grady, Pioneer, CapeHorn, etc.
