$2500... The freight portion of that is likely variable based on the destination location. I believe these are made in Tennessee which is roughly 1500 miles away from me. Not sure what is involved in prep aside from taking the cover off and cleaning transport related grime off the hull and trailer. Seems fairly reasonable unless these costs are already built into the MSRP.
If laws of supply and demand determine pricing then I’m not sure how there could ever be “price gouging”.
Not until directive 10-289 is put in place.I guess negotiating for a better deal is out of the question?
Oh hell no. Not gonna happen here sista. BTW... this is a jet boat forum not a Marxist forum. Take it elsewhere girlfriend.
People are demanding that Yamaha produce a certain number of boats at a certain price...
What does that have to do with your reference to directive 10-289??
A little off topic. But Earlier in the thread @HangOutdoors mentioned someone was upset there was not enough boats and they wanted the prices to stay the same. Which reminded me of Atlas Shrugged.
Ah! Got it. The reason I freaked was I’m very familiar w D 10-289.
I was asked for $1000 deposit but they never ran the credit card. I understood it as a way of committing to the dealership my intent to purchase from them when the boat is available and we can work out a deal.
My dealer here in eastern Washington says an AR 190 will be $33,149. Not much of an increase over the 2020 price of $32,899. Don't think I am going to try to haggle much on the price given the scarcity of these boats. I will see what kind of deal on accessories I can get. Mine should be arriving within two weeks I was told. Here are the AR190 colors and interior colors. The interiors are for color reference only- they are NOT AR190 interiors. I have my pick, but not really a fan of the tan (called warm) color. we will see what it looks like in person. Pretty excited to get a boat after selling our pontoon this year!
I only put down $500. Usually a $1,000, but dealer said since they have no boats to look at, $500 was fine. (fully refundable)
well i figured i was going to buy the boat regardless and use that as a down payment. Hopefully they will have the first boats in florida, Jacksonville.
Run....that’s a leverage tactic.
