BBP, yes I think they were just a tad aggressive on trying to make too much. I stood my ground and I honestly think I could have gotten a little more but I wasn’t going to try and lose a deal just being stubborn.

Honestly Dof3g, you got just over 27% off of the MSRP you listed. ($202k x 73% = $147k). Then they gave you an additional $7,500 for your trade from the original ask (almost another 4%). Overall I think all parties are happy and a fair deal was done.
As with any large purchase, buyers remorse will tend to rise up but in the end you will be very happy with this quality, fully loaded machine....especially the first time you’re driving your girls around the lake with HUGE smiles on all your faces.
Enjoy my friend. Great memories await.
.
Agreed

I only use my phone. Take all pictures in the landscape mode though.
In your post click attachment then click add select your picture and click submit.

Nice hull color Do3G. You don’t see too many with the gray bottom. A pair of Wet Sounds cans on the tower will really look sharp down the road after the bank account recovers.
I resized your picture for ya. I’m guessing the ringer caption was not part of the sale.
(Btw, is that bbp jumping off the swim platform?
)

We really like it, especially in person. Looks so much better than the pictures. It has some good contrast inside with the grey.
I would love to drop a couple of white rev-10 WetSounds towers on there!

I can't believe you caught me playing on the platform already. I tried.
Sweet ride!!!
I think black towers. Need the contrast. It will look sharp!!
Where do you do your boating?

We boat on Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. I was able to get on the boat today and met our stereo guy. He has actually talked me out of tower speakers...for now. I am just going to switch out my sub and In boat speakers and have him tune the amps and see where we are at before I decide to do anything else.

That’s an interesting development Dof3g. Reason?

He said maybe to just start out with replacing the speakers and since there are speakers on the transom, don’t worry about the towers for now. I think he was suggesting I wouldn’t get as much immediate gains from sitting in the water with the towers since the speakers were already on the back. So I think I might end up with some, but going to spend a little and see what happens before I just go all out.

I’m not sure but isn’t the primary use of the tower speakers to provide motivation through sound to someone surfing 15’ behind the transom of a surf model as opposed to adding to sound for people in the boat? Don’t have tower speakers but maybe that is why the sound guy is suggesting what he is?

Bob, you are correct. I had a surf/wake boat and those speakers could be heard from far away. I do like to be able to turn it up , but I don’t think I am necessarily looking to have the same projection. I just want it to sound good and be able to turn it up and not have any distortion.
