Kirk, don't know if you've checked out Centurion. But i just bought a brand new 2003 Elite V-drive with a 315 hp MerCruiser for 35k out the door fully loaded, taxes & reg. included (stereo, board rack, boat cover, coast guard package, dual axle trailer, etc.) from Castiac boat & marine in Castaic CA (32k without the upgrades). The built in ballast tanks add 500lbs and with 10 peeps on board i'm diggin the wake. Not sure what state you're in but i knows guys were ordering boats from this shop from out of state because of these prices. When the 2003's came out, Centurion apparently needed $ (according to my dealer) and offered a special purchase deal to my dealer who in turn bought about a 15 03's off the bat for discount of around 3k per boat. They passed it on to the consumer.
