Master Craft

Another concern is driveability....Super easy to drive an SC boat at 9 deg bow rise.

Agreed. With the extra bow bags I plumbed in this year, I'm finding 9-9.3 pitch is a perfect balance.

I want for nothing....except a thruster.

Ah, the thruster!

What thruster are you thinking of adding?

Here is another brand that I have seen mounted on different boats. Somewhere around 4K I believe for a Moomba setup. Still at that price point that makes me say I dont quite need it that bad.

A dealer here in WI has a new Mastercraft discounted ~$70,000. Msrp 250, selling $180.

What model? That's a crazy amount to discount something. You would think the mfg's would just adjust the msrp down. I think that would help sales more in an overall perspective. If there is someone who has never purchased a boat before and doesn't know dealers have that kind of leeway with discounts, they may see the manufacturer suggested price and never even try to buy one.

That is a big discount.

The dealer here in Knoxville also had some leftover boats at a deep discount. I recall the NXT22s listed at 99K (did not include the 7k trailer). A sub 100K boat.
And some XT24s for around 150/175K. One of their flagships, X24, was at 225K.

They discontinued Mastercraft last spring and picked up the Nautique brand. A new dealer, Current Watersports, will get the Mastercraft territory.

MC is like BU, building a lot of boats and they are now there is finally inventory sitting on the dealer lots. Wait until the 2024s come out. July/August are the months.

28% discount is really good but not unheard of. Considering dealers might finally be sitting on new inventory certainly motivates deeper discounts with new model year boats being announced.

I recall a similar cycle in mid 2000's where dealers had New old stock on ATV's, boats and PWC's and they were giving them away. I bought a 2 year old Honda Aquatrax in 2005 for 45% off MSRP.

Do boat builders ever do that? I assume that's why different models come out.

How do you think those people will feel that purchased 2023s last fall/winter and the neighbor down the street is getting the same for 30-40K cheaper? Not saying SC, but more along MC or BU.

Good deals, good product, and good service sells boats. MSRP is just funny money - starting point for discounts.
