Over the past couple months, we have been highlighting our new Makaira and Purebay boat model lines. The Makaira series is designed to be family-friendly and pro-approved by combining comfortability with top-of-the-line equipment and storage. To accomplish this, the 2800 Makaira and 2600 Makaira are two of the largest boats in our lineup with max capacities of 11 people and 10 people respectively.
This contrasts with the Purebay series, which prioritizes premium features at bargain prices to provide the ultimate value. The 2400 Purebay and 2200 Purebay are both smaller boats with large deck spaces and storage capacities compared to their size. By optimizing for these features, the Purebay series is able to provide the ultimate value to any angler from the weekend warriors to the competition-ready pro staffers.
These two lines were acquired from BlueWave’s center console bay lines and have been combined with the features that make Blazer great to create some of the best bay boats on the market. Here, we have provided a boat-by-boat breakdown of the four newest Blazer Bay models.
