That Rabco with the mahogany was really cool. It reminds me of my 11 ft, 1976 Whaler, I own that is outfitted with mahogany seats and side console. Great video!
Looks like you found your new boat project. Skiffs. Can’t wait to see you spear fishing 🎣. Thank you for sharing great content and various price points. Cheers 🥂 to the next adventure 😊
Great Video! Love Rabcos Boats. We’ve owned a few of them over the years and it sounds like they’re only getting better. Might need to trade up for a new one.
Hey justin! You know I can’t seem to find anything either. I’ve been searching for the last ten minutes and can’t find anything which is strange. Maybe on Facebook or Instagram? I find it odd they don’t have a site. If I find anything I’ll write it here.
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.
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 🙌👏🫶💯
That pink boat looks like the old manatee hulls they built in the 80s. I see those boats all the time , they are built like tanks. Also sea n sport makes the same hull for less
@@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
@Whalermansteve84 many of those older style tri hulls were overbuilt tank! I’d love to get my hands one one. A few companies in the 80s and early 90s used them. 🤙
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.
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! 🤙
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
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. 🤙
@perfectfitboating We still have one. Flys through skinny water. Put a trolling motor on it to fish bridges, jettys, structure, sod banks, and whatnot.
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.
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! 🤙
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?
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🎚️

That’s exactly what these old boats are reminiscent of! 🌊🤙🛥️
Thanks so much for watching!!
❤️❤️
Rabco makes a great boat!!!
They definitely do! 🤙
Great but not really competitive with the others on price per ft
Wrong
Nice job guys love the old style throw back with the side mahogany helm area,thst should be a big seller for them.
Thanks Dave! We think so too. We love these classic style boats! 🤙
Love those Rabco boats. Great info!
We do too! Thanks so much for watching! 🤙
Love these boat reviews

Thanks for watching brother 🤙
Looks like you found your new boat project. Skiffs. Can’t wait to see you spear fishing 🎣. Thank you for sharing great content and various price points. Cheers 🥂 to the next adventure 😊
We started out with a skiff, it was a 15 Mako, fun little boat. Great video, loved that pink one 🥰
Those are fun little boats! Now you guys have a sweet ride! 🤙
Outstanding video brother.
Thank you my brother! 🤙
Ribbed boats are cool. That's a nice one. ❤
I’d love to have one to dive off
Great Video! Love Rabcos Boats. We’ve owned a few of them over the years and it sounds like they’re only getting better. Might need to trade up for a new one.
They’re pretty badass! We’ve always heard great things and now they’re built even better! 🤙
Great stuff! I can't seem to find a site or more info on the Palmetto Bay 186. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hey justin! You know I can’t seem to find anything either. I’ve been searching for the last ten minutes and can’t find anything which is strange. Maybe on Facebook or Instagram? I find it odd they don’t have a site. If I find anything I’ll write it here.
Nothing on fb or insta! 🤷🏻♂️
@@perfectfitboating thanks for looking! Definitely quite strange
Nice video, thanks
Thank you and thanks for watching! 🤙
Any price on the Rabco with the mahogany?
He just said between mid 30s to 40. I’d say 40 since it’s a lot more customized. 🤙
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.
Believe me when I tell you I’ve thought of doing that very thing! 🤙
Used panga? Even pangas are $25k these days.
Cheapest cabinn cruser
I am rebuilding a similar tri hull skiff. 1966 MFG beach comber.
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. 🤙
$70k fora rubber boat you got to kidding
Pretty wild. Just a big name.
Wrong
Buy. Fi. 640 canonn cruser onky $56'000 115 hp. 200 hp only $67'000 6.4 metrr 21 foot xabin crusrr mini yaght

Manufactures are on crack with prices today.
Some definitely are. From what I understand, the cost of labor that has risen since Covid is a lot to blame. 🤷🏻♂️
Bidenomics!
The blonde walked by and I lost my attention to what you were saying 😅
It happens lol
Everybody stop paying ridiculous prices. Only way to get manufacturers off of crack.
Exactly!
That first Boat is a Joke WOW!!!!
The fact they’re priced so high is baffling.
Rabco looks a lot like a Wahoo
Very very similar! Those were great boats Good catch! 🤙
@perfectfitboating We still have one. Flys through skinny water. Put a trolling motor on it to fish bridges, jettys, structure, sod banks, and whatnot.
They’re hard to come by here in sfl. Well maybe in Miami I mean. They get scooped up quick!
Nice review.

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
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..
The pink boat is awful
What’s awful about it? The color?
Yes the color..but I guess for a woman or transgender it would be ok
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.

Weight-Occupancy

Goodbye. I hope I never come back here!
Look it has a tilt wheel - No Shi🎚️
Hahahaha hope your day gets better big daddy vern! 🤙
Totally ripped off @palm_yachts
Never heard of Palm yachts. I went on their site, same boat is 20k more😳
I own Rabco, I can confirm, it was 100% ripped from them
