We understand. You’re tired of looking at reviews and tests of boats you can never afford. Sure they look cool, have killer paint jobs, run amazing speeds, but you can’t even afford the paint jobs. You want to read about boats that you might actually be able to buy, if not now then at least some day.
So we went to builders of performance boats big and small and posed a simple question. What is your most popular and affordable boat? In more than one case, the answer wasn’t necessarily the least expensive boat in a company’s line. Instead some boats were the most cost efficient in a given size range or with a given engine package.
The majority of the boats are priced below $100,000, with a couple above that mark and others offering serious bang for the buck with a retail sticker of less than $50,000. There are values out there, even in new boats, and we hope you find one you like in these pages.
