I would bring the boat out west, and find someone to handle the sale for you. That is too nice a boat to have not sold yet.

Have you put it in the local Wheels & Deals Boat, Bike, & RV trader. I usually get good results. You might also try the Cincy trader.

This is a good idea, bring it out to CA or AZ and sell it :cool:

The manufactuers that I have expressed interest in buying their boat have all told me that they would sell it for me. Problem is timing and I have to commit to buying their boat. Which is not really a problem but I just hate to think I would not have a new boat for next year, or worse...I would have two boats. E-ticket has been the most receptive..but one of the more expensive. Come on....give me some peer pressure to force my hand........

I guess its possible...but I would not be able to use my boat....maybe whoever I choose to buy from would use the opportunity as a test ride:Its really going to be weird not having my boat on hand..and it running so perfectly not knowing whats in the future........

I priced it for someone to come out here and still save...I think if it goes west the price is going back up...a little.

I think the E-ticket boats are the shit. I want a Luxury Cat myself, but haven't justified spending the money to get a new boat yet. I think they are one of the nicest decks out there though.

I'll let you use my boat and pad. My boat is already at the lake!!!! The keys in it. :D
I told you to leave that dam boat in Kali, but you wouldn't listen. You might as well bring it when you come so I can sell it for ya. I have a perfect spot in my side yard to park and show it. I'll give free test rides anytime. Y U trying to sell it in TN anyways. You the one that's got all the money & property there. You need to sell it where people have money to buy it.
No one's wife is going to let them buy a boat at the holidays. Everyone's gotta make sure little Johnny gets the GI Joe with the kung fu grip before they go buying a boat. Bring it and after the holidays someone here will snap it up like candy in Jan-Feb. Just leave the key!! :D

I know that as a competing deck boat builder this is going to sound like "Saucer of milk... table four!" but let's pretend for a second that I also have my input on these forums as an interested boater. I think the single most important thing you can provide to a deck boat consumer is easy access on and off the boat. It is a dangerous evolution, and you need to have ease of entry above all else.
A) How easy do you think it will be to get on and off this boat at the sandbar, or after taking a dip. Just get on from the front... bring your rappelling rope. Imagine making that climb after skiing.
http://eticketboats.com/luxury_cat/luxury_cat-Images/19.jpg
Paleing only in comparison to the access from the rear.... Note the expansive nearly 6" wide swimstep. There is a billet one below in the center, but you need to climb over steering to get to it! Don't mind the meat eaters hanging out below it. Boat decks aren't very slippery, and people rarely lose their balance after drinking.
http://eticketboats.com/luxury_cat/luxury_cat-Images/2005-Luxury-Cat-3.jpg
I would disagree that this is particularly well thought out.
It does have a major advantage over me though, and that is that the pics of this are on the water, not on a coffee table like mine.

Get real Wes... where can you buy a 200k boat and get a work-out each time you use it. Look at it this way, it will help you stay in shape during the boating season :D

Wes, those are also some great points. I was more thinking of the interior. I like the Deck boat with a cabin idea, I also like the storage all over the place in this boat.
I love my Magic, but if I could change one thing, I would add more smaller storage places. Mine are all very large, great for storing big itiem things, ie. wake boards, chairs, sofa's, etc. It just lacks storage for smaller items like keys, wallets, camera's, etc.
But my boat is very easy to board from the front or back.

As a deckboat owner, I couldn't agree with you more Wes. My family and friends love just stepping off the front of our boat and easily stepping back on (after using the bow shower to wash off our feet..so nice!). Also having a walk thru on the back of the boat makes boarding from the stern easy (and saves the upholstery by not standing and walikng on it)
The other feature that sold us on a deck boat was that you have full use of the interior of the boat. Accesss everywhere, which for a day use boat really appealed to us.

See there is a possitive side to all this. I could put a chin up bar in the front...while in the water I could do a few more reps....
I knew you were looking out for me!
