Launched by Blue Wave Boats, the Blue Wave Boat Bay Series 2600 PureBay 2023 is a promising new addition to the market for fiberglass fish boats. Its specifications and standards have gained it widespread admiration and popularity among the community of boating and fishing enthusiasts for being top-tier in its field. We had the opportunity to test and compose a detailed review of this remarkable 2023 release.
One of the first things that strike us about the 2023 Blue Wave Boat Bay Series 2600 PureBay is the quality of its build. The boat features High Quality Marine Grade Color Enhanced HD Gelcoats and a Kevlar reinforcement added to a hull with solid fiberglass rod-reinforced chines. Sound dampening core reinforced sides results in a smoother, quieter ride—a notable advantage for any serious fisherman seeking to avoid disturbing the waters.
Performance-wise, the boat is equipped with a high speed lifting strake design and a transitional deadrise design, giving it maximum performance and shallow draft. Furthermore, the performance enhancing engineered pocket tunnel with Full V design guarantees comfort and performance capabilities that are so crucial in the elite world of fishing.
Moving towards the interior of the boat, we see meticulous thought put into making the boat practical and efficient. The boat provides plenty of storage for fish and gear with its 2 forward insulated fish boxes, 2 forward lockable rod storage boxes, and an additional large forward casting deck with lockable storage. The boat also has large rear casting deck with no splashwell, ensuring maximum usable space, and 2 rear molded flip seats with tackle trays underneath, further providing convenience and functionality.
The invaluable addition of stainless steel fasteners, compression latches, thru-hull fittings, and many more all contribute to the durability and longevity of the craft. Lenco Trim Tabs and large oval baitwell with recirculating system and pro air increase the utility value of this boat, making for a comfortable and worthwhile experience.
The dimensions of the boat also caught our attention, with an overall length of 26'2", a beam of 9'1", and a draft of 16". A fuel capacity of 90 gallons ensures long uninterrupted fishing trips while a maximum HP of 450 signifies a speedy and powerful engine. The boat can accommodate up to 10 passengers, has a weight of 4,550lbs, and a load capacity of 2,550lbs.
In conclusion, the 2023 Blue Wave Boat Bay Series 2600 PureBay, in our opinion, proves to be one of the strong contenders in the market for fiberglass fish boats. It achieves a perfect balance of design, functionality, and performance, offering fishing enthusiasts an option packed with outlasting quality, comfort, and efficiency. Considering the features, we recommend keeping this boat on your radar when searching for your next fiberglass fish boat.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
