25 Foot Panga Boat Hull for $10,000, throw on a 30 HP Outboard , used trailer , might be $16,000 total. More than enough power for inshore/lake fishing .Tow it with a minivan , mid size SUV.

It is difficult to find someone who will talk to you or teach you the most important things about the boat hull...materials, balance (horizontal navigation), dry and wet, manufacturing of its structure, design and testing of the hull , many are beautiful and very beautiful and from long-time manufacturers but they do not sail, these boats are basins in the water..... we can mention excellent designs such as that of the nautical company architect C. Raymond Hunt and Associates where they design Grady White and Southport etc., and other good manufacturers are unbeatable like Boston Whaler,Regulator etc
@perfectfitboating 2 ай бұрын
Many of the people we talk to are salesman that have an understanding of the boats they’re selling and it’s rare you talk to someone that can explain the things about a boat you state. You can check out our video on the life proof boat, Micah knew that boat in and out! Once youre talking about Grady white and whalers you’re also talking about 2x-3x the cost. That might be out of the budget for many people looking for a deal. 🤙

Looks like there is no room to install a trolling motor at the bow. The rails are to narrow.

It’s custom so they can install a bracket for that. 🤙

Awesome video guys, your videos of showing boats this way help others make their decision in what style of boat they maywant to look into for a future purchase and your videos also give us the current boat owners the 411 with all the new models in boats and in boat accessories. Thanks for this video 🙌👏🫶💯

Rabco is a great company, love that they will sell you what you want, even if its just a hull and nothing else. So many of these companies have a stick up their ass and only sell one way, and thats with maximum profit margin. Also, RHIBs cost tooo much damn money for what they are. If I'm buying a headache I don't want the up front cost to suck too.
@perfectfitboating 2 ай бұрын
You hit the nail on the head. The way I see it, you’re selling a boat that’s getting out there and seen, customer is happy and you still made money. I’ve always liked the idea of a rib boat but I’m uneducated to the maintenance and cost of them. Thanks for the comment! 🤙

@@perfectfitboating I’m not sure if they are still around , their older hulls are built like a tank and you can usually pick them up dirt cheap. Paint the hull , put a new 4 stroke motor on it and go. Save a ton

@stephtraveler7378 2 ай бұрын
Nice review. but, I've got to sit out for a few years until these crazy prices return to normalcy. During the plandemic, anyone that could get away with raising prices, raised prices. Simply because everyone else did. The new boating manufacturing industry didnt have the supply chain issues on the scale of other industries, but they raised their prices anyway because people were willing to pay it... due to the volumes of people turning to recreation with their new time freedoms and the limits of the used boat market. Its slowly correcting as inventories are rising. In a few years these boats will be selling at 35% of their 2024 prices... BTW, spear fishing is illegal in the USA. Only slings are allowed and with many restrictions. Have fun.
@perfectfitboating 2 ай бұрын
Youre right and it’s the same for many of us! Prices are way too jacked up. Those are the numbers I’ve figured they’d come down to. We’ll have to see if they come down to pre pandemic prices. Hope so. Been spear fishing in south Florida with a gun for 20 years. I think you may be confusing the USA with the Bahamas where guns are illegal. All good! Thanks for watching and commenting! 🤙

Funny how they are acting like they decided to paint a pink boat when they did a terrible version of Palm Yachts. Not even close
@perfectfitboating 2 ай бұрын
Well, the price is not even close. Palm yachts boat is 20k more coming in at $60,000. So yeah, definitely not close in price regards. What makes palm yachts better im curious? I’ve never heard of them or seen them at shows. Are they built better? Better materials?

Rabco is one of the few makers these days that will sell you just a hull, for that they have my undying loyalty..

I made it thru the SeaPro review. People that don’t know boats miss all the important stuff. They are like real estate agents - look a kitchen! Hey, I found a Half Bath-look a pedestal sink. Here are things that could gave been discussed on the SeaPro skiff. Fully finished hatches - wow, on a skiff? Non-Slip - did it have it? Was it molded or was it applied after mold release? Bilge? Arguable the most important part of the craft. Steering? What type? Weight-Occupancy Hull make up. Composite? Any wood? Foam cores? Goodbye. I hope I never come back here! Look it has a tilt wheel - No Shi🎚️
