He claims they aren't looking to buy new anymore, so the Z3 is out.

I'd like some hard numbers with an apples to apples comparison proving this 'double' fuel economy statement.

Betting Dom is inferring that he can get a Z3 with a warranty and the Tige maintenance for free at about the same price as the X Stars and 230s he is looking at. Not to mention a top notch dealer. If thats all true he would be stupid not to take a look. Look at this wake looks impressive as hell to me. Yes it has extra weight so does ever pros boat no matter the boat.

I wouldn't say pricewise used Xstar = Z3, Z3 has got to be more, 2008 X = 68? Z3 has got to be near 80... maybe lower interest rate... Also need to consider resale - Z3 is new, Tige resale isn't as strong as MC and CC. Do I like Tige, absolutely, but look at resale - he says G23 in a few years, resale value and used demand are higher for MC and CC...

Not saying your wrong but your looking at a brand new boat with full warrante and zero maintenance cost for 3 years I believe. There is something to say for that. Also when comparing what true sale cost of a boat is the MCs and CCs go for a much higher price. Willing the to bet the percentage drop is close to the same. I will agree that MC and CC are more sought after so you might have an easier time selling one down the road. Also Dom is in and out of all these boats and knows most backwards and forwards because he services them all I have seen them all at his place so he does not just make **** up and throw it out there. I cant afford any of the boat and would take any of them.
