Having had the chance to look at the impressive specs and interesting features of the 2022 Blue Wave Boat Makaria Series 2800 Makaria, I am compelled to share my candid thoughts on this spectacularly designed boat.
This new release from Blue Wave Boats offers not just an effective and assured Fiberglass Fish category but a blend of functionality and sophistication that sets it distinctively apart from competitors in its category. Known for their exemplary standards, Blue Wave Boats certainly doesn’t disappoint with this 2022 model.
With a refined look that captivates the eyes, it also boasts a robust build with undeniably exceptional engineering. The boat, which is constructed with a Non Glare Wave Grip Non-Skid with an Easy Clean Feature, comes with a sound dampening core reinforced side - a combo that spells out durability and style all at once.
One of the factors that make this marine craft stand out is its well-designed comfort features such as the liner finished storage boxes and livewells, and marine grade vinyl and foam upholstery with double stitching. These added details make the idea of extended outings on the water more appealing.
Moreover, serious anglers would appreciate the unique design consideration that went into ensuring a large rear casting deck with no splashwell. The combination of the solid fiberglass rod reinforced chines and the Kevlar reinforcement added to the hull boost performance without compromising on safety.
Practicality is also evident in the design and layout of this boat. The modified console to allow flush integration of hardtop legs and the toggle-switch control implementation are a testament to this. With its reliable 600 max HP, hosting a maximum of 11 passengers and a weight capacity of 1,519 lbs., the Makaria Series 2800 Makaria is a true powerhouse.
In conclusion, the 2022 Blue Wave Boat Makaria Series 2800 Makaria displays a remarkable balance of refined aesthetics, durability, solid performance, and user-friendly features. With a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $125571, this model offers value for money for both fishing enthusiasts and casual boating lovers, underscoring yet again Blue Wave Boats' commitment to quality and excellence. An investment in this model is an investment in a delightful boating experience.
