When it comes to pontoon boats, South Bay has long been a popular go-to provider for many boating enthusiasts. Their 2023 offering, the South Bay Pontoon Boat 500 Series 523SB2, is no exception to the company's reputation for premium quality and performance.
The boat's structural build is all about durability and performance. The 1-Piece V-Lite performance deck with bow reinforcement bumper and the exterior "D" Rail design on full rail panels provide the necessary robustness to yachts, substantial durability that will stand the test of time and the harshness of the waters. An emphasis is placed on safety, evident in the inclusion of an EPA-Approved 27-gallon fuel tank in the motor pod that comes with a fuel/water separator to ensure the engine's longevity while sustaining the environment.
Comfort and convenience are not to be underestimated in this model either. The aluminum-framed mid-back reclining helm chair, designed with arms and a headrest, is a promise of comfort for long hours on the water. More so, it comes with a deformation resistant, waterproofing trunk wiring harness that guarantees the boat's electronic systems' seamless functioning.
The series 523SB2 goes a step further in ensuring accessibility with an extended stern vinyl swim platform that has a stainless steel telescoping ladder for easy in-and-out water access. Additionally, the boat comes with a color-matched playpen cover factory-installed keeping the boat's deck protected from the weather when not in use.
South Bay hasn’t overlooked entertainment, either. Equipped with lighted speakers and a high-quality Wet Sounds Audio system, the 523SB2 is ready to spice up any party, whether at dock or whilst cruising around the bay.
The South Bay Pontoon Boat 500 Series 523SB2 also boasts a significant capacity. With an overall length of 24 feet and a width of 8.5 feet, it can comfortably accommodate twelve persons, making it ideal for group outings and family gatherings.
At an MSRP of $62,814, this craft might lean towards the costlier side for some. However, considering the extensive features, premium quality, and powerful performance it offers, the 523SB2 is, in my opinion, a worthy investment for any avid boater and an enduring addition to the boating world.
The 2023 South Bay Pontoon Boat 500 Series 523SB2, delivers an optimum blend of style, functionality, and performance, positioning itself as a leading contender in the Pontoon Boats category.

The See Dealer Cost Story
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
