Grew up on bay boats and fishing boats as a kid. I’ve just never owned one of my own. Wife and I are tied of “waiting for the right time” and have decided on a Nauticstar 251 Hybrid. They have been almost impossible to find and even though a new order only takes a few months, there is no telling when the motor will be available.
Got really lucky and found a smaller dealer in Florida that just got a 2022 model in, loaded with everything I want…except for a Power Pole. It’s expensive but what the hell right? Deposit is in and just waiting on the credit union to give us options on terms / interest. What am I in for? Mixed use of sandbar / cruising and coastal Louisiana fishing.

She sure is sexy. But you only live once and I bet you can move it if your not happy with it.

nice, along the lines of what I want in a boat, although I'd prefer a twin with a head.
with high fuel prices, I cringe at what it would cost for a day out on the water. enjoy and remember how happy you are right now!

It looks nice a very nice boat, love the color. That said, I pay that much for a boat, it better have a head (bathroom) in it. But still congrats and enjoy!

It has a pottie and a sink with 12 gallons of freshwater. Don’t need much more in a 25’ that will get used in 90F weather. If it didn’t have a head, I would have ordered it without. |

I'm jelly OP.
I know what they cost as I have been looking at new boats. How many years did they give you as an option for the loan? |

Great boat.
The head is for the wife's comfort. Usually they are in the center console. No radar? What is cruising speed? |

It gets almost 4 MPG around 24-25 MPH. Tops out at 52. No radar, don’t really have a need. But may add in the future since I already have 2 NSS12 Evo 3 units. |
