That's crazy. But, I kind of agree with @DieselCamel. The truth is - with a single engine, 200 or 250 will not be a huge difference. If you want to go double, I would consider the buy back, but otherwise - I don't know. You have an honest dealer on your side with a possibility of negotiating a great extended warranty etc. May not be a bad deal after all.
Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards. The only thing that really sucks in this whole deal is that I got a really good deal on the boat, and I have yet to find another one in the same price point. Also, I've got to figure out if I can get my sales tax back from Mississippi (bought in Alabama) as well as how my boat loan through USAA will be affected. If anyone has an experience with the financials of a returned boat, please let me know. Thanks!
How could you start fresh if they didn't buy it back? He owns it and titled in his name. I would let them buy it back for full price plus taxes, fees, interest paid by you (if a loan involved), etc. The OP should be out ZERO money and start the transaction fresh. The could be a timing issue with credit (if a loan involved)...i.e., getting the current loan off of your credit scoring before the OP gets a new loan. Perhaps the credit can stand for 2 boat loans if not.
It's just like selling to anybody else....you aren't really returning to boat, you are selling it to them. The dealer will need to include all fees, including taxes in the sales price to make you whole. They (the dealer) will pay off your loan with USAA and get clear title, and you will get any net proceeds left over.
That is what I was saying. They could buy it back and sell him the correct one at the same price net the taxes etc. this is a classic false advertisement case and I'm willing to bet they want to make it right.
Most banks will do a collateral swap as well. USAA might be to big of bank and a collateral swap might be a pita.
I have a 2021 VRX203 with 300HP motor - it will do 50mph in good conditions. 45 for a 250 sounds about right. I used to get 50mph out of my Seadoo 180SE with 255HP but it was about 700 pounds lighter. The 2021 manual says speed is limited for first 3 hours then max is available - may have been more restrictive for earlier models. I see CHAPVRX had a bigger curve thrown at him - receiving wrong motor- OMG!. One problem I had with my custom order is they forgot to include the bow/cockpit cover when delivered - took another month to get it. I asked them to provide the shipping cover as a temporary fix - they said shipping cover was thrown away upon arrival at the dealer.
