If you are a passionate angler looking for the ideal vessel that fits your sportfishing lifestyle, you might just have found your match with the 2023 Sportsman Boat Tournament Series 234 Bay. As a devoted fishing boat afficionado, I was thrilled to review this impressive model by Sportsman Boats 2023, an industry leader known for its commitment to quality and performance.
This Sportsman model is elegantly built to appeal to the discerning eye. An all-white hull neatly complements its stylish construction. Additionally, its advanced fiberglass stringer system verifies no wood inclusion, making it an excellent choice for durability and maintenance.
The Sportsman Boat Tournament Series 234 Bay 2023 has an impressive length of 23ft 4in and a beam of 8ft 5in. This provides vast deck space for comfortable fishing. The boat's deadrise at the transom is 15 degrees, offering a smoother ride even on choppy water. Its impressive 250HP max horsepower guarantees powerful performance, delivering the perfect balance of speed and stability.
A striking feature of this fantastic boat is its seamless integration of comfort and utility. It arrives standard with Garmin GPSMAP 943xs MFD 9", Airmar B60 Thru-Hull Transducer, dual battery configuration, and hydraulic tilt steering, among other top-of-the-line boating tech.
This boat stands out from the crowd with its ergonomic layout, delivering premium comfort through its deluxe leaning post with flip-up bolsters and rear fold up bench seat with lockable storage. The silicone fabric upholstery increases the lifespan of the boat's seats while providing a luxurious feel.
Moreover, it houses various storage facilities, including anchor storage and a large bow casting deck with lockable storage for up to 10 rods. The spacious livewells sectioned into 20-gallon rear variants and a 12-gallon livewell at the front seat of the console caters to your fishing needs.
I believe that the Sportsman Boat Tournament Series 234 Bay 2023 is a smart investment for professionals and hobbyists alike. With an MSRP of $63,735, it might seem pricey at a glance. However, looking at its extensive list of features, advanced technology, and overall quality, I can assure you that it offers excellent value for your money.
In conclusion, the Sportsman Boat Tournament Series 234 Bay 2023 packs a punch with its state-of-the-art tech, comfortable seating, efficient layout, and powerful performance. It is truly a vessel built with meticulous attention to detail, designed for anglers who love to combine sportfishing with the joy of being on the water.

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
