Boat show manufacturers incentives
For those of you that have been to boat shows this year, are any of the manufacturers giving additional incentives? Extended warranties, upgrades, money, and etc.... I am most interested in MC but interested in all. Thanks,...
|
Be prepared to drop coin. Last year at the show a half loaded (5.7l base motor, 2 tower speaks, heater and BIG) mc x-2 was 89729 out the door for boat show special pricing. Not sure about what this year will look like for incentives but I'm pretty sure everyones privies went up 2% at the least.
Good luck purchasing, beat the dealer up good so you get a good deal |
I have always heard stories about boat show pricing. Is it real? What is the catch? Do you have to buy what they bring or can you place an order at a show? I always thought it would be high pressure and a knee jerk reaction trying to get a deal at a show. I am currently ready to make a purchase, I think I know exactly what I want, is it a good idea to try and buy at a show? What kind of savings are we really looking at? No big fish stories please :D

I heard at the Austin Boat Show coming up there will be SANTE 230 at boat show price of $97k...if that sounds like an "incentive"
|
Well it depends on the dealer and show.
You're looking at big savings at some manufacturers and little to none at others Try a 65 for a CC 200 or 60 for a TIGE rzr both loaded to the gills after some negotiating and those were both custom order. Other brands don't flex MC and Malibu for instance basically said this is the price so deal with it, looking at 90 and 78k for a 20 footer we Walked.... But then again different shows different dealers different prices.. Make sure you go in with an open mind, we went into the show for an axis a20 and came out with an rzr because we got a lot more boat for damn near the same price, deals are to be had if the conditions are right but shop everyone if you want to get the most for your cash |

Here's Moomba's Special Boat Show Incentives
http://www.moomba.com/boat_show/index.htm And Supra's http://www.supraboats.com/boat_show/index.html |

Standard is 1 year I think, and that's just the value you're getting for free at a boat show if you want the extended warranty. Could be wrong though

The standard warranty is: Year 1 – Supra Limited Warranty for components Lifetime – Supra Limited Warranty for fiberglass structure Engine - Indmar Products Limited Warranty for the engine- 3 Years including electical and fuel system Trailer - Boatmate Trailers Limited Warranty - 5 Years from date of MFG. I think that besides Correct Craft (5 years, but most items are 3 years P&L and 2 years Parts only), this falls in line with most other boat company warranties. In all honesty though, I've been searching MC and 'Bu's website for the fine print on their warranties and have come up short so far. Manufacturers can include and market longer warranty periods through deals with the indivual component suppliers (engine, gel, electronics, carpet, upholstery, etc), but it costs $$. You pay for it in the price of the boat at the end of the day. You can also buy extended warranty coverage through a third party at your dealer....and with the money you save on a Supra compared to a CC, Bu or MC, you can buy a whole lot of warranty! :cool: All the big boys are making great boats these days. |
You can get a good luck at bucher's a$$ by sticking your head up there....
Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of ****. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me. Like NAW said, if you are getting a longer warranty you are just paying for it in the price of the boat. |
I have been looking at the MB Sport boats and I think their warranty is 3 years engine, 5 years everything else. Anyone have more details on this? I am only going by their website. Maybe someone that has one can look at the details in their paperwork.

We were at the Houston Boat show and saw some incentives. I didn't look real close though since I am not buying anytime soon. Tige seemed to pulling out all the stops and having a great display of boats. I did look at all inboard boats even though I am biased to Tige. I saw a Mastercraft that was about $89.900 said a discount of somthing around $20,000, so the boat was well into the 6 figures. Tige had their new fully loaded flag ship Z3 for around $88,000. Tige by far seems to have really stepped up and look a lot better then the others.

I was working the NYC boat show over this past weekend. Only the big three were there, and all I have to say is be prepared to drop some serious coin. That being said the 2012 models looked pretty good (that's if your willing or able to spend $80k+ for virtually every model from the big three). Beware, they were posting ridiculous MSRP's coinciding with "Boat show discounts" that still resulted in overinflated prices.

Most expensive Ipad 2 - that made me laugh. :D |
Orlando boat show this weekend, FSS, Nautique, MC, Bu, Axis, Tige, and MB will be shown.
|
@polarbill great reference. Just like the movie it's a big deal to be able to trust the people behind the product
|
Would love to see the final prices with all the incentives added. I would bet the MB has far more features and will actually be cheaper once you add all the incentives. Weird marketing to offer gelcoat upgrades. Not dissing them, just seems a strange way to market a boat. Curious where Axis will end up in pricing this boat show system as well.
|
I thought MB wasn't doing incentives for boat shows on current year models. IF they are then people are getting an even better deal on an already great boat which is generously priced from the start.
|
Generously priced? Just looked at their website and they list an MSRP of $74,995 for the F23 excluding trailer, dealer prep, freight or options.
|
From what I have heard and this could only be at the Denver boat show this weekend. MB is offering discounts on the options they have. Or at least the dealer here is offering discounts on the options.

^^^ exactly $ for $ your getting a lot more boat with MB and the wake (wakeboard or surf) is very good and more than enough

Really I don't see any reason why they should offer any incentives, especially if their facotry is near full capacity. They are already a better deal then anything else. |
MSRP on a F21 is 63.9k They are sitting at dealerships all over the country for less than that with options. The 2 at my local dealership are priced at $59,999.
MSRP on the 23 TWB is 68.9k The one at my local dealership is $69,999 and it has the upgraded engine and quite a few other things. For comparison the MSRP on an Axis A22 was 39k when they came out (not sure if they still use that figure) Get one loaded up these days and you are in the mid to upper 50s. This link says the MSRP on this X25 is 108k http://www.norcalmastercraft.com/det...w-6566577.html So which seems like the better deal? |

This is one (23TWB) that I will be showing this weekend in Orlando, the other is the actual MB Sports 2012 F21 Tomcat brochure / web site boat (red / white / silver metalic X with black pin stripe) and they both will be in Jacksonville for the show at the end of the month, happy boat show shopping shoppers !

That is a beautiful MB! So what are the boat show incentive prices on this??

Cole those prices are with options such as cavitation plate, metallic gel coat, etc... The Cav plate is ~$1200. You could easily walk out of the dealership with the F21 for mid 50s. Also like I mentioned that 23 twb had the upgraded engine which is 4k option. I've called around and talked to a few folks and that pricing seems pretty standard. Also those are just the sticker or MSRP prices which leaves room for negotiation. Also if those prices are inflated it just proves the point I was trying to make which is the MSRP listed on the MB site is generally more than you pay for a fully loaded one. Also I don't think you can order a loaded up F21 for 50k. If some dealership makes you that offer JUMP on it. Hell Diamond Dad ordered a 21 twb with no trailer and paid low 50s according to the thread he made this summer. Regardless of all that congrats on finally figuring out which boat you want! You will love it!

Another thread hijacked by MB . It is kinda strange that I dont read anything about them other than here. I must admit they sound interesting but the prices quoted here are so low its almost sets up a red flag. Either MB is the only honest company and all other brands are just ripping off buyers or something is cheapened in some way to cut cost. I'm not saying I'm just saying. Anyway someday I will see one and judge for myself.

I can tell you that Stockton MB had 3 boats at the Pleasanton boat show (we went this past weekend). The 21V was $49,999 right on the window, and Mike told me the 23V was $55k. They come standard with wetsounds interior package, boat cover, tandem axle trailer, bimini, and swing away tongue. That was with standard motor and non-metal flake gel coat.
I'm not an MB owner either, but it is a smoking deal. |
^^^ that would definitely be boat show incentive prices in my opinion and you're correct...a smoking deal. Texas Mastercraft has several MB's for the upcoming Austin Boat Show and theirs ate going to in the water for demo drives. $64k for their 23 TWB with standard motor no tower speakers. So at $55k for the Stockton 23 TWB is killer.
