Build me a MAX

[That Guy]

Damn that’s pretty loaded! I’d go darker on the interior personally.

A dark interior will definitely get the Mocha Moomba hot.

why would you pay $60 extra for a 7 way round trailer plug when the flat 5 to 7 round adapters cost $20 to $30?

Or even less. $12.75 on Amazon Prime.

So why is this upgrade worth $60?

I agree. I was a bit taken back when I built a max on their website. Do they even make vehicles with a flat 5 plug anymore? You'd think the round 7 would be the standard option.

I have all the different plugs, extensions and still get the 7 way added on. The fact it's a plug and go is easy and yes another option to help sale the boat. I also agree it should be a standard option like a depth finder, but you pay for it one way or the other.

but you pay for it one way or the other.

Well, as an option, you pay $60.

As an adapter you pay $12.75

THAT's what I'm talking about. it isn't that you "pay" for it one way or the other. It's that you OVER-PAY for it one way, but not the other.

I dunno, call me a cheap ass, but why would I flush the extra $45 down the toilet? Same concept with the upgrade to the Fulton F2 jack. Upgrade from Moomba at $180 or buy it myself at Etrailer (with adapter) for under $150 and throw it on myself in about 10 minutes.

I guess it just bugs me when the upcharge is unreasonable. The upgrade for the jack should cost LESS than the price of buying the F2 jack outright because they're not having to buy the standard jack.

Yes, when we're talking $60k to $75k on a boat, I'm splitting hairs. But money is money.

Adapters are one more link to go bad so it may be worth it for that alone. That being said I would go with the adapter because I am cheap that way. I just had to replace one this season that gave out because it got water in it.

I agree. But when I can pretty much guarantee that the difference in materials price between a flat 5 and a round 7 is well under $10, the idea of charging $60 for the upgrade is very unappealing.

Good news is when your're ready for an upgrade to the Max the 1st owner will take the hit on all the options.

sure is great to live in a country where your worst issue is whether or not to check a box on an order form for a 65k boat and add a $60 round trailer connector

it's no different than the truck you buy that the dealer wants $1500 for aftermarket rims you can get for $1100 at the local tire store... or the new house you buy that the builder wants $1k to upgrade to kohler fixtures you can add after the fact for $850.. or the extra meat option at subway for $1.99 that is realistically $.50 worth of product you could get yourself next door at the grocery store...
