In the world of modern boat design, where functionality and performance often take precedence, the 2022 NauticStar Boat Hybrid Series 251 Hybrid proves that it's possible to encapsulate both without sacrificing style or comfort. As a boat enthusiast, I was excited to take a closer look at this model, and I can say without a doubt that it doesn’t disappoint.
NauticStar has designed the 251 Hybrid to be a 'jack of all trades,' providing the best attributes of a family-friendly pleasure boat with the capabilities of a hardcore fishing boat. The first striking feature is its robust, wood-free composite construction, which not only guarantees longevity but also offers a limited lifetime hull warranty. This commitment to quality construction is a testament to NauticStar's confidence in their craftsmanship.
From a fishing perspective, the 251 Hybrid is a dream come true. With storage for up to 21 rods, an integrated aft swim-up cooler, a molded anchor storage with an anchor, and an insulated starboard/bow fish box with an overboard drain, you'll feel more than prepared for any fishing expedition. Even non-anglers can appreciate the ample storage space and the well-thought-out features that enhance usability.
Enhancing its operational comfort is the SeaStar Pro hydraulic steering with tilt, which grants superb control and maneuverability. The on-board comfort is further improved with the inclusion of Lebroc seating with flip-up bolsters, folding armrest and footrests, and aft jump seats which add a touch of luxury.
The console is just as impressive, boasting an Infinity PRV 315 Bluetooth stereo with 4 JBL marine speakers for entertainment and a flush mount compass for navigation. Accessories such as the 12 Volt Acc. Plug and the raw water high pressure washdown enhance convenience on-board.
Furthermore, the marine-grade electrical system ensures reliable operation of all on-board systems. With automated and manual bilge pumps, convenient console and aft recirculation pumps with timers, and LED lighting, NauticStar proves that they have left no stones unturned in ensuring a comprehensive boating experience.
With a surprisingly affordable invoice price compared to the MSRP, the 2022 NauticStar Boat Hybrid Series 251 Hybrid offers excellent value. In my opinion, this vessel is a standout in its category for its combination of performance, comfort, and value. A closer look at this vessel will convince any skeptic of its credentials as the perfect blend between a family outing vessel and a serious fishing craft.

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
