Compared to the boats owned by friends of mine, I find that price tag to be outrageous.......But it is what it is I guess...........
For Ocean fishing off the Florida coast - usually ups the price some.
Apparently the outboards are the bulk of the cost. When you take a 25’ boat out in deep water and most likely he fished in the Gulfstream power, speed and reliability is insurance. The Atlantic off of South Florida can turn to very nasty squals very quickly and what might be thought of as a good size boat will seem like cork in the water and no place to be. The Edgewater boat cost a lot but no doubt is worth it and Rubio made a wise decision in buying it.
