      They’re both great boats! One is a little better for longer stays out on the water (ranger tug) other is more of an all around fishing cruising machine. We love them both.

    I appreciate the effort you guys are putting into this video. Good, maybe for first-time boat show attendees, but not very helpful for serious boat buyers. BTW, Parker boats are made in the USA. I have a friend who hauls them from the East Coast to the West Coast. I have a Regal 28 Express. Had both a Doral 270 SC and Regal 233 Express cruiser previously. Seems serious boat shoppers would be a bit more familiar with boats they are showing. So much info is available on the internet.
    I do agree with you that the Cutwater and Ranger Tug appear to be great boats. They were on my short list. It is uncanny how similar the Solara cruiser in this video is to the Cutwater. Just a bit more fancy.
    Have fun shopping!

    • @perfectfitboating
      @perfectfitboating  Před 8 dny

      I have to disagree with you bob. We’ve received plenty of comments on our boat show videos saying our videos are extremely helpful when making a purchasing decision.
      Parker Poland is NOT made here in the US. They’re made in Poland. Youre thinking Parker that’s owned by Brunswick.
      The uncanny difference between the solara and the cut water is because it’s practically the same exact boat. Same hull built the same factory just with more extras on the solara. We mentioned this in the video.
      It also helps if the buyer is more educated on the market. Thanks for watching.

  • @Charlie-go6eb
    @Charlie-go6eb Před 2 měsíci +1

    Some of these models that are trailerable would work very well in the southwest(powell, mead, etc) that are basically trailerable floating rv’s that have ac. Completely open boats has always been the norm but the reality is its so frickn hot that it’d be very nice to have a space that was climate controlled and you didn’t actually have to get off the lake. And its a bonus to tow it to the ocean for a trip.

    • @perfectfitboating
      @perfectfitboating  Před 2 měsíci +2

      Absolutely! Especially the ranger tug with its 8.5 foot beam. Easily trailerable. Nothing beats that ac when it’s hot outside! 🤙

  • @cheapme1850
    @cheapme1850 Před měsícem +1

    After watching this and a lot of other similar videos featuring boats in this size, God bless the people who can afford these boats, but I realize I’d never spend that kind of money on a non essential item. My solution? I’m going to look around for the next couple of years for a lightly used FRESHWATER boat from the late ‘90’s or 2000’s and renovate it - repower, new electronics and other systems, new upholstery and canvas. You could do all of this for much cheaper than a quarter mil and have a boat personalized to your tastes. You’d still get a good warranty on a repower so you’d still have one of the benefits of buying new. Used boat prices have dropped precipitously after the Covid buyers realized how expensive boats were to maintain so I’ve seen a lot of good deals lately.

    • @perfectfitboating
      @perfectfitboating  Před měsícem +2

      I’m right there with you. I don’t think I would ever buy a new boat unless I had money to burn. But your approach is the same one I’d take. We bought our 85 Grady for $700 and have gone restoring her little by little. We have warranty on our new motor for 5 years and we enjoy her regularly at a fraction of the cost of a new one! 🤙

  • @John-kc7wo
    @John-kc7wo Před 2 měsíci +2

    great video, suggestion be more consistent when you share pricing, some boats you give pricing at the start, some in the midle, some at the end and some NOT at all

    • @perfectfitboating
      @perfectfitboating  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks for the suggestion. Some of the boats don’t have the pricing on the outside of the boats and they have them on display cards in the boat. When we get on these boats we’re going over them for the first time like you see in the video. Just as they are. For example, the regal had the pricing on the display card in the boat. Some had them listed on the docks before you boarded. I think the only one we may have missed the price to was the cut water 28. We’ll do better 🤙

      So true. As a 100 ton licensed Coast Guard captain, I would never take any of these crappy, lightweight, modern boats out on the ocean. One mistake, or a heavy swell and cresting wave, or a squall and your life is on the line...especially in cold water regions where you have 30 minutes to survive if swamped. Beware of any watercraft with wall to wall shag carpeting in the master stateroom (sex pad).

    • @cheapme1850
      @cheapme1850 Před měsícem

      @@brittseverence7221I don’t think these boats are made for heavy or regular ocean duty. Yes, I know some idiots think they can do it but that’s not the designed use of these boats. These are mainly day boats that provide infrequent sleeping and cooking ability. Anyone (normal) who buys and use these boats take sensible precautions to make sure they don’t go out in forecasted questionable conditions.

    What’s your opinion on ‘boat show price’ vs. actual average paid price. How do these differ usually? Tips/thoughts about buying at show vs. dealer/broker?

    • @perfectfitboating
      @perfectfitboating  Před 2 měsíci +3

      Thanks for the comment Robert. Here’s my opinion. I personally won’t buy a new boat. I just think you can get a much better deal on a boat a few years old that is practically new and it might even have better options than a new one.
      There’s definitely better deals at boat shows than buying at a dealer or from a broker. Boat show discounts are sometimes 20% from listed prices.
      Here’s another bit of info I ran across from a former broker: brokers and dealers are being investigated by the federal government for keeping boat prices high in order to continue to make high commissions. If this is true, prices are going to drop an insane amount very soon.
      Hope that helps! 🤙

      Look, I like your videos. Both of you seem down to earth and are checking out boats the average person may be able to afford. You work well as a team and present the information in a very clear, concise manner. You are both a very attractive couple and work off each other. I personally see that each of you are working on a balance presentation and each of you are doing good whether behind or in front of the camera.
      Many of the video’s out in Utube get hung up on Freeman’s, Boston Whaler etc and usually on the plus 35ft mark which puts them out of reach of the audience you are appealing too. I don’t even watch the other videos anymore because they are not showing me the boats I can afford

    I wouldn't wana buy a boat from Turkey, they have too much slave trade on their hands of recent years and an attitude like they are mad they can't continue with that openly.
    At this point I just assume they used slaves to build them boats.
