For context, that is anywhere from 1k-1300 boat payment dependent on interest rate. If that doesn't make you physically ill, I can't relate lol

it's like cars, you have the new features and you have old features that were once new but are now standard like AC. there are still good options for 75k or less pretty well loaded. right now a bass cat cougar with 2 12s, matching trolling motor, and 2 poles for 80k

Breaking News - Lockheed Martin has announced that they are entering the Bass fishing market. They are in development of a HUD helmet that a fisherman will be able to look anywhere in the water to identify bass. It will come with real time echo hearing so you can actually hear the fish's heartbeat increase as your lure gets close. They also purchased the priority rights to the Color C Lector system so the HUD will also determine which color lure the bass will bite. Price tag is $75,000. Meanwhile Raytheon is developing a FFS jamming system, that when deployed will jam any other boats FFS within a half mile. Price tag $82,000. General Dynamics has also announced an agreement with IKON boats to provide a defensive chaffe system that will disorient any other boat following during blastoff. After years of analysis, the defense companies have decided that it is more profitable to sell to bass fishermen than it is to the Pentagon.

FFS sonar jamming would be dope lol

I love the over unders!!! I would like to see an over under on the tin fishing boats that the average guy is buying. Like on the alumacraft trophy and Lund pro v. Keep up the good work!

Shit even tins are getting way outa hand anymore. You can easily spend 50 to 60k on one now

Yup, I still catch plenty of quality Bass in my 1984 (that's right I said 1984) Champion. I fish out of a 40 year old 18' Champion with a 1982 Mariner 150. No Leaks, No cracks and she makes the rough water her B**ch. If anyone is interested she is for sale....$316,000.00 Firm no trades!! She is not pretty but the Bass do not know the difference. Thank you for all the great content, reviews, over / under and rants.

2001 Triton tr 20 treated like a baby with Evinrude Fict still runs great, very few scratches, every thing works just like new and only cost 26,000, sorry I'll keep what I got

Could you plz do over under on the skeeter zxr 19 awesome videos man keep them coming

These prices are how I ended up in a Nitro. Was all set to get a 20' Skeeter. But the price was out of my range once i had the option picked out. Got into the Nitro for almost half the price and havent had any issues with it yet.

Coolers are the most important part of a boat, especially in AZ.

I was wondering what was going on over at Blazer. I ordered a 625 in the spring of 2021. Ordered a dual console and after the 16 hour drive from Wisconsin to Ohio to pick it up it only to see that it was a single console. I was told that they would ship me the other console. Well they did finally almost a year later and after numerous phone calls and emails. Problem was it didn't even come close to matching my color scheme. Called and called email after email finally sent another one only to have the same problem. One of the reasons I purchased a blazer was a lot of folks said great customer service well that ship has sailed. Trailer carpeting is coming off of the bunks already. Sea decking in cockpit area is ripping up in areas as well.. Love the performance and look of the boat. I get a lot of compliments on it up here since nobody has one. EVERYONE asks for a ride since they are known to be fast and she is. I think my 2022 was the last year they came fully equipped with Jack plate graphs and power poles. My boat in 2021 base price was 65 K. With my upgrades to the electronics boat cover and deck lighting it was 76 k. The new ones base price is just the boat and ever little thing is extra. Darn shame because it was a high performance boat at a good price for us working folks. Now take out a home loan if you want to hop into a new rig

Man, I wish you guys were closer to Oklahoma… I’d take my boat to y’all every time I needed to.

A second mortgage with no income flow. And that was @ 80 !

Ive fished out of one once, i was surprised how well it handled and fished. Boat prices are insane, it's upsetting to think this is the new norm, i dont see it going down any time in the future....its all good though, im content in my Champion 196. Lets see some BLAST FROM THE PAST.

Can you do a video on the best location for transducers on the back of the smaller aluminum boats like the ranger rt series, lowe boats, crestliners

Whoever thought purchasing a fiberglass bass boat would be a rich mans hobby. $50,000 was a tough pill to swallow three to five years ago, now they are a $100k.

I just went to the permian basin boat and rv show in Midland tx. Its a ron hoover sponcered event at the horse shoe arena. They had a 20 ft vexus for $109,000, with nothing on it. Pft way to expensive. At the shop in odess ron had a 20 ft 1996 ranger 488 vs with a 200 venom johnson for 7000. I bout it for $4000 out the door. Ill bet it catches fish and hauls ass. Hope you guys can help me keep it runing once i get it home.

Love all the videos.

should start doing a over under series on deep vee boats. regardless love the over under/unders.

Another 100+k Bass boat?........nah, I'll pass

I'd still buy a Bass Cat Puma STS over the Vexus. The Vexus boats do look good though.

Let's see an update one on Blazer. My favorite boat and don't hear much about them like Skeeter and basscat

Microphone for Jorden?

This is why folks are switching to aluminum. All the features,speed, space, fishability for half the cost

🖐🏻. Yes my hand was up. The money is just absolutely nuts! 🤷🏻‍♂️😔

Hell yeah brother

I don't want give 100k for any boat.. especially a aluminum boat , only one or two in aluminum I feel that can take abuse of fiberglass boat on quality build is havoc, and gatortrax ...and still think those are overpriced but at least their hull would last 10yrs plus, way over 600 hrs on hull ....motors lasting that long is whole nother subject ..(other than Suzuki and yamaha) Thanks for your take on em , you have me laughing within minutes caused your legit unbiased!!

Nice boat, but not affordable by most. Ikon set a new $$$ bar. Now everyone is going to try and match.

They need the center seat like the z21xl

I'm a 52 year old framer and I'm in a 2001 18ft Triton. I'll keep mine and re power before I'll ever drop 100k on a boat. Nope. No way in hell can normal Americans afford these boats. Boat manufacturers should be ashamed

I have a 2010 20ft Bullet. Small Hummingbird fish thingy up front that pretty much just tells me the depth. It'll hit mid 80's on a good day with good water. I have no problem catching fish lol. I want to fish and go fast. Not pilot something with more EXPENSIVE electronics then a Boeing 737 Max. I paid 25k for it used in great condition and it still is. Who the hell can afford these 100k plus rigs?

Seriously do a video on the Falcon Predator ! You will get a complete loaded boat for under 100k and they actually answer their phones

Overpriced.. I'm not saying nitro is good , but they seem to be one of the few you can get a reasonable price new. I own a 6 Year old skeeter. If I didn't have a boat now, at these prices I'd either fish on the bank or have a pretty nice kayak , or get an old boat that floats and runs.100k is absurd

Love video but the new normal on a $100,000 boat is ridiculous. I agree it is but the average Joe can't afford. When are manufacturers going to understand that ?

Sad that the new normal is 100k boats now.. Damn. I think I’ll just re-power mine and keep on keeping on.

Man 100k+ is terrible for the little guy out here. I'll keep my '98 Triton and just update the electronics. Oh yeah, it catches as many fish as a new boat 😊

Still waiting on those text messages about Lee L.. ?

Price points insane like most new boats currently! But damn those Vexus’s are sick! But no bassboat will ever be worth 100k let alone 80k to me. I don’t care how you slice it. I’ll stick with my clean solid 98 Ranger Comanche

Love these videos! Make sone walleye boat videos. Big water guys aren’t fishing bass boats. Love to get some content on big boats. No one does this stuff.

Great video. You should do an over under on the vexus adx line. Compare it to say Lund. Lund’s are over rated and overpriced in my opinion.

How the f*** can a regular guy afford that 100k bass boat and 100k truck WTH!

I watched the release video and it looks like they "borrowed" a ton of elements from iKon.

I thing that all boat are over priced. Yes i do have a Tin rig ranger but the boats and motors are still the same but 40,000 to 60,00 jump in price is what i don't like. i think the average fishing person can't afford the house payment and a mega big boat payment. If you do buy this boat I'll bet it will be an old truck. A turd pull a diamond. I do like the show, keep them coming.

first. I still think my Falcon F20 is the best boat ever built.

Custom cover add another thousand

That’s basscat money, and bass cat makes a better boat in every category but the seats… so that’s who got my money.

MAN MY '08 LOOKS BETTER AND BETTER!

vxus the battered bitter past employees of ranger.. nuff said

Vexas is frickin nuts!!! No thanks

What- No microwave? forget it!

Looks are Looks, but boats are all built the same way, they'll all get scratches by a pier, they all get nicks and gel chunks on the hull, can't see the prices.

Caffeine or cocaine, which ever, slow your roll bro. Or pump the brakes as it were.

100 grand is ridiculous for a boat. That being said until people stop paying that much money for a new bass boat prices will continue to rise. I do not understand why one manufacturer list their product for 20-30 thousand more than the next. At the end of the day it is about fit and finish, they are all fiberglass and resin.

In a year they will be discounted like every other boat. Economy about to be suffering..

Let's just start off by once again saying how the starting price IS, in and of itself absurdly unjustified. While $100K is the new "norm" due to the boom in fishing and the professional side of the sport since Covid, it's bullshit capitalism at its finest. I'll STRONGLY disagree with your assessment of it being Undervalued. Not a single bass boat is worth the asking price, not one. I for one will wait and see how these cookie cutter boats hold up over 10 years to see if they start falling apart like soooo many other brands who are no longer around. With all the Chop Gunning, I'm going to wager that the resale market will become oversaturated int he next 10 years and you will see these overpriced money pits selling for less than 10K because people won't be able to get rid of them fast enough.

@@bannedagain1483 This would ring true if these boats weren’t made… RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES! They’re operating under the exact same dollar value and as someone who actually builds boats, the raw materials HAVE NOT SKYROCKETED EXPONENTIALLY. You are free to believe whatever you like but the fact is material costs have increased about 12% since Covid, yet boat prices have literally TRIPLED. The bottom line is that boat prices will not come down to a properly affordable price range as long as people throw caution to the wind and take out mortgages to buy what is one of the fastest depreciating things money can buy. Then factor in chopping gun rot WHICH WILL SET IN AT SOME POINT, and people are literally throwing money in their nearest trash receptacle. Motors are also waaaaaay overpriced, but as long as they keep selling them and people feel the need to feed their egotistical complexes by outfitting their boats with 4 motors, they’ll just keep selling at astronomical price points. Five7 went under and they were a unique niche motor manufacturer, but their out of this world pricing killed them off as people who were willing to drop $65k on a motor were VERY few and far in between and they ran out of those customers in a few years time. That’s exactly what will happen to these companies selling what costs them all of MAYBE $7k to produce at a whopping $100K. I have to bust my ass to EARN my money so I’m not willing to waste it just to have the latest anything. If more people thought this way you’d still be buying fully rigged bass boats for about $45k-$55k not $140k. It’s absurd.

Ill cool it. The boat did not come with a babe.

I have to rant more about this. I have a 3 bdr, 2 bath, 2 car garage, brick house, fireplace, den, living rm, dining rm, bay window, roofed patio, and a 6' cider block fence. I paid $120,000 10 years ago. In this market the tax man says it is worth $150,000. There is no fucking way there is $109,000 in that vexus. I mean for fucks sake 5 differnt crews built this house. It took like 3 18 wheelers worth of material. The boat is stupid over priced. I was lookin at the 15' bayliner for 17 thousand. It is out of control.

This guy thinks everything but Suzuki, Gambler and Humminbird is shit, especially anything Mercury or owned by White River Marine. I do agree that everting is usually overpriced. Crazy expensive for a new bass boat.
