Boating enthusiasts are always on the lookout for the latest flagship models that marry durability and functionality, and Tidewater Boats have long proved to deliver that promise consistently. Today, let's delve into the impressive features of their newest offering, the all-new 2024 Tidewater Boat Raptor Series 25 TPC Raptor 2024, a unique model that elevates the Fiberglass Fish category.
On first impression, one cannot help but notice the stylish and sleek aesthetics of this model, especially with the brilliant incorporation of a Black Acrylic Dash Panel with Gauges. It assures both functionality and a touch of elegance that separates this boat from the standard fishing vessels. The manufacturer's decision to upgrade the usual seating to a Carolina Seat with Shockwave Base is also an applaud-worthy move providing extra comfort and stability, crucial for those long outings in the open sea.
Let's now talk about the model's performance feature, starting with the choice of engines, either a Yamaha VF250LB or a Mercury 250L Pro XS Cable, both of which are known for their excellent power delivery and reliable performance. Adding to its excellent sailing capabilities is the SeaStar Hydraulic Steering Upgrade that ensures steering precision and responsiveness, critical for navigating unpredictable water conditions.
Promising convenience for fishing expeditions, the boat is equipped with a Jack Plate- Hydraulic (TH Atlas) at 10 inches, three aerated livewells functioning with two pumps, and a manual transfer valve for its dual 45-gallon fuel tanks. Its capacity for rods is also notable, with both port and starboard sides sporting powder-coated console rod holders, creating more space and accessibility for users.
However, the real winning point for the Raptor Series 25 TPC Raptor 2024 is the thoughtful inclusion of comfort features, such as the under-console footrest, raw water wash down, and cockpit lighting, making it a perfect choice for long, recreational fishing trips.
Now onto the specifications; with a centerline of 25’ 4”, a beam of 8' 6", fuel capacity of 2- 45 gallons, and livewell capacities of 3- 25 gallons (2- Transom; 1- Riser), the Raptor offers plenty of space for fishing activities and gear storage. Not forgetting its bow boxes capacity - a whopping 80 gallons, and a 15-gallon cooler under the console seat.
Lastly, the pricing. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) sits at $93,031, while the dealer invoice is $74,425. Despite the relative heftiness of the cost, given the boat's superior capabilities and features, it confidently stands as a worthy investment for avid boaters and fishing enthusiasts.
In conclusion, the 2024 Tidewater Boat Raptor Series 25 TPC Raptor 2024 is an exemplar of a fiberglass fish type vessel, perfectly bridging the gap between luxury and functionality.

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,
