If you want to get it at 40K, then you are right at base price. To do that you should consider dropping the stereo option and adding it in later. The stereo is actually the only major option I did not put on my V-Ride, because at $1100 it is something I can do myself when I feel like spending the money. I think you might want to put that money towards the rear ballast or an engine upgrade instead. Remember that the V-Ride doesn't come standard with any frills (no heater, flip up seats, stereo, etc.), but at least it does come with all of the fundamentals (tower, cruise control, center ballast). Therefore, I don't think any of the options are truly "necessary" to have a decent boat. You could really even add the wedge later at your discretion if you want to stay close to $40K. You might be happy enough for a while with just the ballast tanks. For the record, I got my V-Ride with these upgrades: Rear Ballast Monsoon 340 engine Complete wedge assembly Stainless turndown exhaust tips Fiberglass swim platform 3-outlet heater and hot wrap blanket 4 pullup cleats Flip-up drivers seat Custom cover Malibu wakeboard racks Custom solid deck color upgrade Custom solid hull color upgrade Custom decals Dealer installed boat alarm
