Since chaparral owns robalo , would that make their dual consoles in the premium segment too if I am comparing to bow riders? Was going to get a searay since there’s a lot in my area but I wanted something with a deep v.
ОтветитьAny thought on the caravelle boats specifically the interceptor
ОтветитьGreat and thorough review! Thanks👍👍
ОтветитьI have a 2022 21 SSi. It does have arm rests. I know a while back you were doing interviews with people who had purchased new boats, their thoughts, likes/dislikes, etc. I have lots of thoughts if you ever have any questions.
Ответитьsea ray slx 260 outboard :)))
ОтветитьNice review. Was upset though, to hear that the plastic cup holders on my 1987 Glastron are not going to last.
ОтветитьLove older Bayliners in the early 2000s. . . You can tell if they were maintained well. . . and you can pick them up on the cheap. . . they are still going to have a merc alpha and for a smaller lake a ton of fun. . .
ОтветитьSpot on on Sea Ray and Formula! Had a Sea Ray you could tell a difference , Formula just a different weight class - better materials, built like a tank, nothing rattles even in rough water / waves, thicker gelcoat and feels much more solid. Sea Ray - cheaper materials, some shortcuts and not as solid in rough waters (they use to many screws everywhere that would come off from time to time). I own a 310 formula and it's an awesome and exciting performing and luxury boat!
ОтветитьI’m confused I always thought a 2 piece boat (over 3) was always preferred and stronger overall
ОтветитьVery nice review and thank you. Here are my actual technical hands on review of four of the 21 foot boats. Regal, Chaparral, Four Winns, and Sea Ray SPX 210 at an in water boat show which were all around the same price. So on the water and dealer input here is what I found when I went to trade in my Four Winns 235 Sundowner, which by the way lasted 30 years with no issues. The Regal has that cut or carve out in its hull which may be ok on their cruisers but creates a terrible choppy ride in their bow riders. The Chap is known as Choppy as it too does not ride as well as the Sea Ray SPX which of the 3 rode the smoothest. There definitely is a noticeable difference. I did not drive the Four Winns however I did not like it or the Regal or Chap layout or fit and finish compared to the SPX 210. I recall the Four Winns and Chap are 8 foot 4 inch beams while the Sea Ray is 8 foot 6 inches and like none of the other boats that wide beam goes all the way to the windshield. So the boat cockpit is bigger an the bow seating is a lot bigger than the other 3 due to it's round front vs a V set up. By the way it's hull is made the exact same way as the upgraded SLX according to the magazine Boating. So when you walk through the boats and sit in them you immediately see how the layouts lead you back to the Sea Ray. I also read the fine print and found the 5 Year Sea Ray warranty to be better. I was bound and determined I was going to buy another Four Winns however the SPX was heads above in all aspects especially with it's very long stretched 8 foot 6 inch beam which is probably why it rides better. Hope your review and this will help inform new buyers. Like buying a car they all drive different with features and that is why you test drive before you buy and so for the price of these boats you need to do the same and see how they ride and handle for you. So in the end all 4 boats are very good and it all comes down to what fits you. For me that long 8.6 beam made all the difference because as we know inches in a boat make a huge difference. Lastly all
21 foot boats are not measured the same. The SPX gives you more than 21 feet while not all of the others may so take your tape measure and you will see for yourself.
Which would be a good option for family and if you wanted to go a little offshore.
ОтветитьWas in market for a new Chaparral 21 SSI and Regal 2000es. But just found a used 2021 cobalt cs22 for 67k otd. Was new at 108k. Was used as rental from dealer and has 82 hours. In great visual condition and still under warranty. Is this a good buy?
ОтветитьWhat’s up with the striper boats?
ОтветитьSadly, 2023 is the last year for Glastron.
ОтветитьAs an owner of a 2011 Regal, I hate the carpet storage. Need to buy something to keep things off the carpet.
ОтветитьWe bought a Glastron GT 205 2022 model, since discontinued, glad we got one of the last ones as the replacement GX 215 is significantly more expensive and only six inches longer. We could not be happier. Looked at models from other makers, most could not match the utility of the Glastron in a 20' model. Bows in most boats of that size are cramped. Glastron seating is efficient. Quality is just fine. If you want to pay 1/3 more or more than that to move up, great. It is a lot like choosing to buy a Land Rover over a Subaru. If you have the money great but I doubt anybody is having more fun riding in a Regal or Cobalt than a Glastron.
ОтветитьCaptain Matt, really liked your thorough review. I took delivery of a new Monterey 224FS in July 2021 and am very happy with it so far. By the way, Campion has named its Muskoka models after one of Canada’s premier boating and recreation areas. Muskoka is located about two hours north of Toronto and has four larger lakes (Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, Lake Joseph and Lake of Bays) plus hundreds of smaller lakes as well as access to Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) on its western edge. It’s pronounced “Muh-SKOKE-ah”. You should plan to visit sometime!
ОтветитьAny NauticStar comments? Definitely that ** deck boat category.
ОтветитьWow I’m surprised you found those things on the regal we have one and a very good boat, the fit and finish is near perfect, all double stitched and a nice armrest, I’ve been on many cobalts and I’d say it’s up there with it
ОтветитьOne of your best videos yet!
ОтветитьChaparral 21 SSI owner, and overall we r happy with it. $65,500 OTD which is not bad all in. A few little issues so far, cover on tower has a few little small holes, and some sloppy sealant below where the extended swim platform joins. The Chaparral's come with the trailer with their " One price for all" Also, they do use "Seadek" flooring.
ОтветитьHi Captain Matt !Just playing a little catch up!Wow I guess I shouldn't be surprised about Cobalt and Regal! Chaparral has great lines for that size a boat that you showed. Sixty isn't a lot for that!
ОтветитьIt's a little thing. But that's what we're talking about; my new Chaparral SSI has an arm rest at the helm. We have 20 hours on it, and it's a great boat for the money. Still not cheap though. Having a great time with it.
ОтветитьPicking up a 2012 chaparral 284 sunesta this weekend. Wish me luck. Lol
ОтветитьNew subscriber here since 2 weeks ago! Just passed the boaters course just over a week ago. This channel has helped me a ton!!
ОтветитьI like how all the boats in the thumbnail is a Bayliner VR4
