I’m pretty happy with the deal. I got them to add the rear camera, transom switch, swim platform lighting, and throw pillows for no added cost. Comes to 22.2% off msrp. The salesman said it was a great deal. It’s still a lot of money!
They said Spring. Wouldn’t provide anymore detail. As long as it comes before June I’m happy.

They have cut the production schedule way back (I have heard only sold boats), so delivery should not be an issue for next season.

Wow, sounds like a great deal!

Blows my mind what all these used boats are asking AND SELLING FOR. Right now on boattrader, more than half of the boats listed are asking more than what I paid for a new one. Several have sold.

That kind of discount off MSRP does sound pretty good given the market of the last 12-18 months. I like the way you picked options, too. Seems like you've got a great boat coming!

Thanks, I think so too.
I’m 2 hrs from 3 different dealers so it didn’t matter much which one. One of the others was off like $20k. Some dealers have less build slots available to them and they want to maximize the margins on each one, especially when they can fill those build slots with more of the larger more expensive boats.
I’m guessing.
The other dealer never responded.

Speaking of slots my dealer told me they aren't building any 10 series this year. I get it when you lose half your slots they need the higher price tag

Me?
Thoughtful? Maybe.
Opinionated? Probably.

Congratulations on your choice and your deal. We bought off the floor before pandemic. Got them to throw in 4 bumpers.

I spoke with the factory rep today, he told me that the lead time is 6 months right now.
