Good point on private sale vs dealer trade. I just thought the trade in value would have been a little closer together. Like I said before the numbers were so far off I didn't think for more than two...

I was expecting 5-10k plus 20k for the engine and thrusters. So maybe 30k. The MSRP is only 50k and then figure in a discount. I was a little surprised how little my boat was worth to them after 1...

Looking at prices and dealer inventory it would appear the market is slowing down. I'm glad you still have a build slot open, and hopefully it is still available if/when you sell the Makai.

My 23SL 400 was 216msrp, the 24SL 400 with thruster was 257k (250ish apples to apples), so 40k msrp difference but 98k to purchase. I took a pretty big depreciation hit. More than I was expecting...

2023SL 400 with 52 hours to a 2024SL 400 was a 98k jump. The thruster was the only option extra I picked so take away ~10k and I would be looking at 88-90k to upgrade year over year from 23 to 24.

The Acme prop finder suggested the 3145 16.00x13.00 for me based on target wake size large, ballast 4-6k, and elevation 0-3k feet. If I was at elevation it would suggest the 3161 16.00x12.50.
