Many fishing vessels come and go, but only some truly impress and stand their ground as reliable and memorable watercrafts. The 2023 NauticStar Boat Bay Series 249XTS is one such vessel. It doesn't merely meet the standards set for fishing boats; it exceeds them, serving as a beacon of innovation in a sea of ordinary vessels.
This vessel is much more than a conventional fiberglass fishing boat. It benefits from NauticStar Boats' ingenious wood-free construction, allowing it to offer a limited lifetime hull warranty to its lucky owners. With an air assist chine and a vinyl ester barrier coat guarded by Syntec Vinyl that is equipped with Nano-Block stain protection, it is built to weather all conditions.
The 2023 NauticStar Boat Bay Series 249XTS doesn't skimp on space either. It features an insulated fish box in the bow with an overboard drain, as well as port and starboard locking rod lockers that can secure eight rods. Its innovative design also incorporates an in-console livewell/baitwell with an aerator and recirculation. The result? A prepared and efficient fishing vessel ready for any challenge.
Although designed with the keen angler in mind, this vessel doesn't ignore the pleasure of navigation. It features SeaStar Pro hydraulic steering with tilt for better control, and the addition of a swim platform gives it a recreational edge.
A quick look at the specifications reveals its formidable nature. With a considerable length of 24'3" and a beam of 102", it offers ample space for 10 persons. It's powered by engines reaching up to 300 horsepower and can hold up to 74 gallons of fuel. With an approximate dry weight of 2,500 lbs, it strikes an impressive balance between power and agility.
The NauticStar Boat Bay Series 249XTS 2023 homes in on even the smallest details that enhance the boating experience. From its LED courtesy lights and raw water high-pressure wash down, to its stainless-steel robust hardware and custom SS wheel with power knob, it exudes a sophistication that harmonizes with practical functionality.
What strikes me most about this vessel is its price point. With an MSRP of $80,315 and a remarkable invoice price of $56,221, it delivers great value. Affordability combined with unparalleled features makes it a testament to NauticStar Boats 2023's commitment to making exceptional fishing vessels accessible to all.
In conclusion, the 2023 NauticStar Boat Bay Series 249XTS is a robust and reliable watercraft that looks good, performs even better, and comes with a price tag that's easy on the wallet. Regardless of whether you are a seasoned angler or a casual fisherman, it's time to pack your bait and tackle because this vessel promises an enjoyable, and most importantly, fruitful fishing adventure.

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
