Well, I think I am going to make an offer on the yellow X7 at the dealer in a few days. To be honest, I wont cry if I don't get it because I want an all white one but if I can get a very good deal...then yellow is just peachy<IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR>Here is what I want to know guys...what would be a great price for this boat...not a steal but something that any of you would snatch up if you were looking for a boat like this. <BR> <BR>Here is the link: <BR><a href="http://driport.infiniplex.net/prev_own.cgi#cat4" target="_blank">http://driport.infiniplex.net/prev_own.cgi#cat4</a> <BR> <BR>scroll to the X7 at the bottom. <BR> <BR>Stats: <BR> <BR>2004 Mastercraft X7 <BR>about 67 hours, its a demo boat. Perfect in every way as far as I can tell. The dealer is only a mile or so from me and the owner lives three houses up...this was his "demo" boat for several months. <BR> <BR>It has just about every option including a heater, upgraded engine, digital perfect pass, tower, racks, etc. <BR> <BR>Thoughts guys and gals? <BR> <BR>Like I said...I really love this boat but am having a hard time justifying something this high dollar this year...but if i can get it for a great price and not have buyers remorse then I will be all over it. <BR> <BR>so far, they have offered it to me at $39,900.00... <BR>

I would offer 37.5. You have to keep in mind resale. I don't think there is a big market for the DD anymore(could be wrong).

take it for sure man!!!! i payed 55k for my ssv launch(6,000 for gravity games package)so like 49k stock and id say the x7 is comparible somewhat

Hmm, what is a DD? I think I will offer 38k and they have to store the trailer for free until I sell the boat....but will wait for a few more of your responses. <BR> <BR>I am closing on the sale of my old home Monday...so thats the push. Either I want to put the equity into something long term or a toy...hmmmm

I think 38K and free trailer storage is a decent deal. A DD is direct drive. Versus v-drive.

Sorry for the double post. <BR> <BR>Ahhh...DD...didnt put two and two together. <BR> <BR>Does anyone know what an 05 would cost..same options???? Again, if you got a decent deal.

"take it for sure man!!!! i payed 55k for my ssv launch(6,000 for gravity games package)so like 49k stock and id say the x7 is comparible somewhat" <BR> <BR>Wow! Did they at least give you a reach around to go with that?

Is there anywhere that will give us "invoice" for new boats? NADA, KBB, and Edmonds all do it for cars and trucks...but not boats. <BR> <BR>It would really help to figure out how good of a deal something is.

Center engine direct drive. The market has pushed more toward the V drive.

dealer invoice prices are well-protected secrets in this industry. also consider that engine break-in is usually not done exactly by the book on demo boats.

Comparable is a Malibu I-Ride brand spankin' new in the color of your choice sitting on a tandem trailer with 0 hours at $35k+/-, probably $42k+/- out the door. Yellow boats are sometimes harder to sell, they definately narrow the buying field from a resale stanpoint, but they look great on the water.
