Boat Shows 2024

might have changed and might be a dealer that is trying to keep business from leaving. also might be a brand thing.
one thing I have learned over the years are that dealers, no matter the product, will sometimes say anything to keep or earn business. never hurts to call another dealer and ask and IF the market continues to soften, I wouldn't bet on that out of state saying sorry, go to your local.
I'd pass on the transfer unless it's in writing that price is the same to transfer(sans shipping). bet it won't be.

Came straight from the owner when I had a friend recently out of Atlanta inquiring about a leftover. But yes, always worth checking other dealers as I'm sure some don't care.

might be your proximity to ground zero. I'd be lying if I wasn't a little envious of your location being so close to skiers and 'bu. I'd love a factory tour and rick/drew would have a hard time kicking me out....

be careful what you put out there

it would be a cool experience imo to do factory tours at both. my perception is skiers spends more time on q/c-build quality and 'bu more about churning boats out. would love to see the difference between both plants.

I don't put it out there lightly. But we've hosted our fair share of outta town folks that love these wake boats.

as have I but the best one was the 8 guys from virginia that "rented" me and the boat for the day on mead. $325 ticket for one riding on the sundeck and groom lost his brand new iphone in the lake. was still a crazy fun day tho.

I think I posted this in another thread, but not this one.

I tossed around the idea of upgrading to a SL450 mainly because I have a buddy that likes to ride full ballast wakeboarding and the SL400 struggled with full ballast until I repropped the boat (it does well now).

Anyway, my SL400 was MSRP 216K. Obviously, I did not pay that, but the dealer was offering me 140K on trade. I spec'd out a SL450 and added thruster, but no power swim step and the MSRP was around 263k. With the trade and discount I was looking at about 95k to upgrade. (take away ~10k thrusters and ~10k 450, and that's about 75k to upgrade from a 2023 to a 2024).

The dealer even mentioned when I was shopping for my boat that these boats hold value really well and you can upgrade every 2-3 years for very little difference in price. Good thing for me is we love the boat and we are the type of people to hold onto things for awhile (my truck is 2011). I hadn't planned to upgrade, but I did like some of the cool features on the 2024's.

I understand there are new standard features, power seat, new tower, new audio, but when I saw the cost to upgrade I didn't even have to spend more than two seconds on the decision. That was a hard heck no for me.
