What’s the best boat for Lake Martin Alabama?

In this blog, I’ll tell you about what I saw at the Russell Marine Boat Show at The Ridge this year. I also talk about what makes the best boat for Lake Martin.

Russell Marine Boat Show

This is one of the biggest and most exciting boat shows in the southeast! If you’ve ever dreamed of being on the water at Lake Martin, then this is a great annual event you have to check out. They have everything from sleek personal watercraft’s to jaw-dropping luxury boats.

I had the chance to check out the hottest boats on Lake Martin Alabama, and I found that this event is the best way to figure out what fits your lifestyle. Whether you’re leaning toward a chill Pontoon, a sporty Sea-Doo, a classic Chris-Craft, or something like the Ski Nautique Paragon, there’s something for everyone at the Russell Marine Boat Show.

Boat Prices

The price points range from around $20K to over $400K. You will definitely be able to find a boat that fits within your budget. What I love about this event is that it’s not just a show, it’s also an experience. You do more than just look at boats at this event. You’re able to get in them, drive them, and really feel what it’s like out on Lake Martin.

The top of the line boat I saw was the Paragon by Ski Nautique for $431K. For $273K, you can get a 2024 Nautique G25. I also saw that a Sea Doo is typically $20K to $25K. The price just depends on what amenities you get with it such as a stereo or trailer. There are so many others that I saw, and the best part of this event is that you get to test drive them.

I picked up some great tips on what boat sizes work best here on the lake. Typically between 20 to 24 feet is the best for Lake Martin. I’m seeing a lot of T-top boats on the lake. Some people think it’s because the water is getting rougher. There are also size restrictions for the lake that you need to look up before buying a large boat.

Russell Marine has built a killer reputation as one of the top dealers in the area, and it really shows. From expert advice to a solid selection of boats, they’ve got you covered.
