Star Trek SNW final episode is today.....NFL starts tonight and the Lions are looking good, going to game tomorrow night....... New Yamaha Boats Reveal on Monday, summer is almost over and kids can go back to school and I have a boat with a full tank of gas in driveway ready to go out anytime. Looks like a great August!

Tough to beat Football and Jetboating! I am a big Carolina Hurricanes hockey fan though! Let's rock!

As much as I'd like to get excited about the new line up, features and enhancements I just can't. $70,000+ and insane high interstates makes purchasing/upgrading anytime soon a non-starter for me. I do love boating but these prices are getting ridiculous.

Same for trucks. I refuse to pay these inflated prices and am going to hold onto my vehicles until the market changes (good news is 3 of the 4 are paid off). My truck was something like $57,000 3 years ago and one with the same features is $68,000 - $70,000 not including the now 6% - 7%. Nooooo sir.

It's a matter of principal. I got bamboozled into doing things in college that I didn't want to do. I won't be bamboozled again.

I have a load of parts coming from Rock Auto tomorrow to maintain what I have. Gotta keep these things running until the financial storm passes.

I've hard that Yamaha is only going to increase prices in Canada. US is going to get a price cut. Sucks to be in Canada I guess...... LOL, totally joking, I have no clue what Yamaha is doing.

At this point, without innovation, I feel price cuts won't be enough on new boats, since the used market prices will go down as well, making the same boat, with low hours a much better deal. Same boat a year or two old for $10k-$12k less plus not having any setup, etc. Would be the way to go.

I was totally playing around. At this point everyone thinks their stuff is worth a lot more than it really is. I would not be surprised if Yamaha does the same old crap and slap another 5k to the entry level.

We will know on Monday, but if I were to guess, I would think it wouldn't be prudent to raise prices for just color changes again. Tried to reach out to one of my affiliates, who could give me the info ahead of time, but I think he is out on Vacation.

Or they raise them and allow/give Dealers discounts off of MSRP as a sales technique.

Lol @ prices not increasing

In case they update the website with 2024 prices here are the 2023 prices for reference.

This is exactly the what vehicle manufacturers are doing. I talked with a buddy of mine who's a GM at a car dealership and I asked him how his dealership wad doing and he said they are making more profit than ever even though they only have about 25% of their normal inventory. He said the manufacturers are increasing the MSRP and it's easy to sell cars because people are conditioned to accept paying MSRP thinking they are getting a deal. What vehicle manufacturers and dealers are doing is nothing short of price gouging. The government has no problem fining businesses that price gouge during disasters, but they seem to be ignoring this.

While I don't agree with it - it certainly is not price gouging. If you ran a business, would you not be doing the same thing?

People speak with their wallets and until sales go down, this will continue. Econ 101 stuff here. Low supply = high demand (price)

The only price gouging going on is with GAS and the government is in on it, both local and federal! No valid reason that gas went up today to $3.99 a gallon ($4.99 premium) here in Michigan, more people working remote than ever before but we all know gas prices will always be what they want them to be.

Definition of price gouging - an act or instance of charging customers too high a price for goods or services, especially when demand is high and supplies are limited:

GM has cut production on the Silverado to create an artificial shortage on order to sell the trucks at higher profits, this is price gouging. Dealers adding mark up is price gouging.

I've already been told to expect a price increase from some friends ITK who won't tell me anything else no matter how much I push...
