Test Drove a 2019 R3 with the VP300 DP

[Dropped Anchor]

Love the color scheme. Just went through the same process you’re going through only ended up in the R5. Overall, came down to the fact that the discounts felt reasonable and the perceived value of the options on the ‘19 were there. I’d say If you liked it and can live without the other options, go for it, but If you felt like you needed some options then see what the show brings. My salesman told me the show is a crazy place to buy and likely there would be an increase. After purchase he said, come see me at the boat show. You got a better deal today than you will there. I believe it being that it was a ‘19.

Thanks for the intel!

Did you sign yet?
I assume they are giving you a good price on the DP?

Well, the Trade in is okay, but like they said, if I want more for my boat, they can raise the price of the R3, lol..

Some notables my boat has that I enjoy this boat does not have, yet...

Transom lights
Under water lights
Interior RGB Lights
Flag and Flag Pole
Transom Remote for the stereo

Those would all have to be retrofitted with the underwater light being the easiest to add probably.

This boat does have the docking lights which is nice.
Also like my boat it does have the 2 batteries, which is important.
Standard Audio.. Didn't really sound any better than the standard audio on the CS22. The difference is the speakers are JL on this boat and mine are Rockford Fosgate. I didn't do a proper sound test however. The stock stereo in the CS22 does sound good.

Question is this, at the boat show in January, could I get the boat built how I want it for close to this price, or is this the best it will ever be.

I would want the transom speakers added as well. They are a must have for coving out.

Heck yeah! Would be easier to have all that added from the factory.

I bought my R7 before the boat show season in early January. Actually started the process in December. But yeah after seeing the prices at the boat shows I’m glad I made my deal before the show because i got my r7 for significantly less.

Maybe I should make the deal and just pay for the add ons even if at a higher rate because the initial savings will still have me ahead of the game.

Good luck. Let us know what you decide.

so what colors do you have picked out? 430VP or bust! once you test drive it is over. So you might as well just start working the numbers in your head. Ask me how I know?

It's like going to look at puppies. You don't go to look at puppies, you go buy a puppy.
