Is 48k too much for a 2005 MC X-2 ????

ice3944 02-04-2006, 6:40 PM

Just as the title says...

no perfect pass
has 3 bag ballast system
no depth finder
comes with galvanized trailer
310hp motor
no closed loop cooling

All the items not included I am going to add as options, but I want to know if this 48k base is way out of wack

Thanks.

Yes! Buddy got one with MCX, depth finder, heater, perfect pass, bimimini, cover, tandem trailer with swivel,basically everything except shower for just over fifty! That was late July 05 in prime season. It's winter and that boat is now a year old, but I would rather have that than a new X-1 version. We're on west coast so that could change the market a bit.

If those options were included in the price, it would be a good deal.

As it is, you'd be getting raped.

TSR was selling that boat fully loaded for 50 flat. That was at the end of last summer.

considering where you are, I would shoot for $45 with those options.

48 sucks for that boat- you need PP and MCX, and 48 is still too much. Go to KY and get the one for 44.5.... Is the trailer s/a or t/a?

48 WITH those options would be a fair price
45 with those options would be a great price

Is this a new boat?

Look at the KY post two up. 48 with those options sucks as well. You can get that one including those options plus tower speakers and more for 44.5, and you can match that deal all over the place if you look around. 48 is a fair rip off.

I would disagree that a boat for 48K with a 55-56K sticker is a rip off. But yes... you can do better. I did.

Without all of those options, it is definitely a rip off.

for an 05 ?? i would say no without pp and swivle racks

and the 310 motor is awesome.. its proven and doesnt use as much gass... get you out of the hole fine with 4000lbs of water/lead

it is awesome, but the resale is better w/MCX and makes the 48 number even worse- who cares what sticker is or was, the open market determines the price, and 48 SUCKS for that boat and setup. With that , lets consider this horse dead or we're going to have another 250 post thread like the one on why Moombas suck so bad.

Hey B.S. There wasn't any thread with that title with 250 posts or any posts for that matter. I remember that there WAS a thread on why the Moomba Outback is cheaper in cost than other boats.

At the pleasanton boat show...

310 HP V8 with Tower and Ballast

Seems like a great deal to me.

Simply add speed control and audio and you are set to go.

GD,
Just so you know X1's are sold out for 06. If you didn't order one you'll just have to find one if there are any left @ a dealer.

ice3944 02-05-2006, 5:40 PM

Woops I actually messed up, we got the boat for $48,900 with all the options.

PS- X-1's were sold out until MC decided to make about 150 more for late May or June delivery.

With that being said, how does our deal look?

if you got all those options on a new '05 x-2 for $48,900, that's a pretty good deal. used ones with similar options are going for 45-46k
