I've been tossing the idea around a little bit but every time I pull the trigger on something a sale comes out after. I remember jetboat pilot having 20% off last summer. Should I wait a little more to see if there are any sales or just pull the trigger on Seadek? Lol

Me too :) I was thinking about getting it this year but am putting money into a new sound system. But if a sale/group buy comes up I might splurge. Not sure when or if that will happen. I know @JetBoatPilot just had a group by last fall.

Yeah I hear ya. I'm not trying to be cheap lol I will probably just buy the Seadek but I figured I'd check first to see if anyone knew of an annual spring savings or something. Little bit off will help with all the upgrades I'm doing haha.

How long are you planning to keep your boat?

I see it like this. If I buy a vehicle or boat that I plan to keep for five years and I buy the accessories that I want at the beginning I get to use those accessories the entire time I have it. But if I wait a few years to buy the accessories then I spend more per year of usage for the accessories. On that basis I would buy the SeaDek now and get another year of usage out of it.

Makes sense, I was talking about sooner rather than later this season. I'd love to buy it now and have it the entire season then wait for a sale in a few months but maybe it is worth it to wait a few months to save some money i don't know lol

@JetBoatPilot's annual sale is during the winter. I doubt you will find a discount anywhere until boating season is over.

If I was @JetBoatPilot , I'd give @DJMattyT a discount just to use some of his bad ass photos for advertising ;)

Best upgrade ever! Of course the fact that I waited until the group buy was key for me, basically the swim deck wound up free, and I didn't care about using the carpet for the first season.

we bought in the group buy last year but was too late to install. Will have the boat back in a couple weeks. Looking forward to a summer without the stinky carpet! I would say buy it. I doubt there will be another group buy until end of season!

Buy it now, install it before the season gets going. . . . . You won't be disappointed.

And I am hoping to get it in the sea deck and Perfect Pass this coming winter if my other project is finished...
