    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...

    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.
