Is that 196k for the SL the advertised price, or the actual price?

Wow for a 450SL.
Someone just posted a 2023 SE with the 575, thrusters, triple trailer, and 5 hours for $195k. OnlyInboards. White/Silver Flake with the pecan interior - nice looking boat. West coast.

21-23 SA is nearly $40k increase for same content. Only difference is the updated table seat and screen config update.

Man all these price increases are making me feel soooo much better about me paying 97,000 out the door for my 2021 Makai and trailer! Which I bought brand new from the dealership, and he threw in a free H/L Shim and rope too. It was still hard for me to swallow that price back then, and I honestly did not like talking about it with most people ( non wakeboat type people) that asked how much it cost. They would look at me like I was bragging or just stupid to pay that much for a boat. But now! I am proud to say I got a deal! Of course I know I got lucky and hit the market literally days or weeks before it just went off the chain with price increases. And when I pull up beside a 22 or 23 model, you can't notice any differences.

The 195k and the 450 motor still surprises me. Last Oct someone was posting a 2022 SL 450 for $159 - black/graphite/blue. Pecan interion.
All the other SL owners that trade in each year said "that is too low". It still sat out there for a few months. I assume it eventually sold. I get that options are different - but that is 37k more with the same 450 motor. It was located on Lake Lanier.
Lots of used boats are selling for more than paid when new. I am convinced this is all part of the wakeboat model.
Sell used boat without being upside down and buy a new boat.

There are a handful of SLs on Onlyinboards that I have been tracking in the 160-150k range. I got the price on a new SL 450 from my local dealer that was 232k MSRP but out the door around 191k. I think they have dropped the advertised price down to 220k now so a little cheaper... Is there a point to buy a new SL at that price when you can buy a used 2022 with under 100 hours for 30-40k less?
Nautique paragons are over 400k now. I bet we’ll see a SE over 300k here in the near future. Can’t see prices on the builder, but with 550, thrusters, and most options that had to put you close.
I think it is manufacturer greed and 10-20 year loans driving the price increases. With supply chain and inflation playing a lesser role.
