Well, this is good news!
So, SC is saying price increases in effect for spray dates post Feb. 1?
If true, that shouldn’t affect my build.

I agree this has an insulating effect on used boat values.
MSRP’s up industry wide due to inflation, supply chain issues, labor issues etc and boats are still selling like crazy.
MSRP’s for 2022 are up 14%-26% for wakeboats specifically (model year increase plus latest mid year increase).
I would estimate my same build in a MY2022 would cost me $30k-$35k more with the only significant difference being the new flip seat.
At least 14% price increase and I estimate 5%-10% less dealer discount.
I have no illusions that there isnt a boat market crash coming, but even so, high MSRP will prop up used prices for quite sometime.
You will never see a drop in MSRP nor discounts greater than 30% for new as dealer margins are still in the mid 30’s%.

Is it me, or does everyone seem rich now that covid has been going on for almost 2 years? They talk about inflation, yet people are lining up to buy these high dollar luxury items. We complain, but still shell out the money. Really happy I listened to my friend that is the sales manager a few years ago when he told me it would be my last chance to ever buy a new SA under 6 figures. A new Mojo would cost me almost $15k more than I paid. Being priced out of the new boat market in a few short years is painful. Good thing we have friends with the shiny new boats! And it helps I now have the new 1.7 drive ratio, lol.
And, on a more morbid note, covid deaths have caused a distribution of stored wealth and assets that are being passed on to families and beneficiaries.

the house of cards is going to fall eventually and when it does, those buying today are going to be grabbing their ankles when they want out of the toy market or trading in that new car...
knox is spot on. people bitch but keep lining up to hand over their cash.
Feels awfully similar to 2006
