View Full Version : 2017 Craz? Maybe?

Well we headed down to the Atlanta boat show today and pretty much fell in love with the Craz. Put down the down payment to lock in the Boat show incentives. Got home and started wondering if the "incentives" offered are really a deal or not. I'm not in a rush to upgrade as my 08LSV would probably go another 50+years and I've put a ton of time and upgrades into it.

So...

Could anyone tell me what would be a steal or how much would be a "walk away" price. For a Moderately optioned '17 Craz?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm not sure if it's a no no to talk figures on here, but I got about 16% off msrp when I picked up my craz at the boat show last year.

Did you include shipping and dealer prep in your 16% off estimate?

Just dug out the paperwork to check. Looks like I should have rounded down to 15%, but yes, shipping and dealer prep was included in that estimate.

I got mine for way under MSRP. Let's say I drove 4 hrs away to get it. I made out like a bandit

Thanks for the responses. My figures put us at about 10% off. Wondering if that's a good deal. Sounds good when you look at the original price but once you start figuring in the necessary options it doesn't seem that good anymore.

Maybe I'm just overthinking the whole incentive thing because it's still an awesome boat.

What's the dollar figure they are willing to take?

$64,700. That's with about $8,000 in options

That's a great price depending on the options. The one Cincinnati Sea Ray had was more option heavy with an MSRP of just over $79K before freight and prep with a Boat show special of $73K after freight and prep. Don't for get freight and prep can add between $1,000 and $2,000 depending on what the dealer does and includes. In the past I have had a dealer include a full coast guard ready package in there's vs having to buy all the stuff. That's a big help to a first time boat owner.

Is that after freight and prep? If so that is a really good deal.

I didn't see anything mentioning Freight and prep. Never bought new before how much should I expect on that?

Yes, I think I'm the one you talked to. :) Freight and Prep was included in their pricing. Heidi will be calling real soon. It was great to meet you and I hope everything turns out good! If we can help at all from the factory, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Have you made your decision yet? I am in the same dilemma with an 06 LSV that we love. My fear is that I will upgrade boats and not get any better surf performance (which is pretty good with the upgrades I've done) or on the other hand I can put $5k into our boat to make it look brand new, knowing that I will never get it back on trade or sale later.


The water is calling me!

Think we're going to put the trigger. Going to demo the Craz next Sat. And take our '08 with us for the trade. As long as they give us a good price on our current boat I don't see us leaving without a '17 on order. I'm the same as you we have our wave dialed in perfect, have an awesome stereo(wet sounds all around), and the boat runs like it's brand new. We decided to upgrade for multiple reason.
New tech. Surf 2.0 Max, will be a lot easier to fill verses hoping around the boat filling different bags on the seats and multiple pumps. Raptor 6.2L, yes please. Love the dash layout.
Bottom line for us will be price. The monthly note should be same as what we're paining now just for a longer term which doesn't bother me as we will be making money on the trade and these boats hold their value very well.
Fingers crossed for next weekend.

I here ya. Loved the gunmetal flake, started building one in blue and I guess the wife was tired of blue as our '08 was all blue. She throughout orange and it just popped.
Originally had a white deck as we though black would be to hot or show to many scratches. The while on the demo with the black deck there was no choice. Black it would be.

Congrats on the purchase! Great looking boat...Looking forward to seeing pics of the actual boat.

I haven't been on this site in a few months since the boat has been in storage since November, but coming on here and seeing your boat has me getting the itch to get back out on the water!

Dealer shows I have a request spray of Feb. And should be on schedule to deliver in first part of March. March seems to be running from me.

Don't you have some work to get to instead of sitting around and posting pics of your new boat?

Never realized how big the Craz was until we were towing it home and all I saw out of my rear view was that bow. That thing is a Beast. I said no way this was fitting in the garage and damn it for once I wish I was wrong. She'll have to live in the elements for now :(
