arvey 154 Report post Posted August 2, 2019 Recently I inquired at a local dealer about a package they have . I looked at it late last year I was told the motor was a 2017 boat 2018 . I thought I'll wait till this year thinking it would be a little better deal. Just to confirm I asked what year the motor was he tells me the manufactures no longer go by year it's hours so if it has no hours it's considered new. I said you mean I could by a motor 2 , 3 years old and pay 2019 price. If this is true it's just another way for the manufactures to get more out of you for less.

I know the warranty starts when you buy the item . Maybe I'm to old school at one time you could call up a dealer and pick up none current models and you'd get a pretty good deal . If you buy a 2 - 3 yr. old motor you're paying top dollar it could be 2000 more than it originally was and you may not get any upgrades that could have occurred . To me there's no competition in the market manufactures are setting the price and dealers have the attitude that's the price no extras. I met a guy the bought a 40 thousand outfit then the dealer charged 150 to put decals on the motor to match the boat to me that's a joke. Like I said pay more get less , I guess it's world we live in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
