Is this a good deal?

[ScarabMike]

Ran across this online, and its a beautiful boat. What do you guys think? And no, just trying to find what the price points are on these bad ass boats.

Looks like MSRP to me. . . .

@0627Devildog Whats a good deal on these? 55K?

 

[Julian]

Yup....just a dealer listing a boat at MSRP

$55 would be a steal IMHO. . . .you'll be lucky to get anything below MSRP at this point in the season. It's all about the add in's at this price.

Might be a little drive but i thought this was a good deal.....

Is it 49, or 56.5?. . . Description doesn't match the posting. . . .

 

[Glassman]

They say they take ANYTHING in trade...hmmmm, I have a few things I'd like to trade in

 

[subysti]

Yep standard MSRP. They usually don't move on the price but get them to throw in a lot of stuff for free.

 

[Helipilot11]

I would assume 49 since it is in the title. I think 56.5 was when he first made the post

49K would be an amazing deal....55 would be good if they toss in all their extras....fenders, tubes?, Skiis etc

For $49, I'd consider trading up. . . . . But 25 hours in salt water from someone who is looking to get out so quickly has my Scam meter going berserk.

Not so sure...it is Danbury CT....think more money than sense.....

 

[Julian]

And I don't see a comment about salt water run.....Danbury is inland....probably on Candlewood lake (my aunt and cousins live there). Don't tell @octavio3311 about this....he'll beat you to it as he lives right there! Perhaps he could check it out?

Someone on the forum needs to buy it at 49K!!!! I was thinking the same thing!

 

[0627Devildog]

I assumed CT meant operating it in the LI Sound. . . . and proved what happens when you assume.

 

[haknslash]

I doubt that boat is going for 49k. It's more than likely the 56k number and the 49k was just to get you to click bait the link. Regardless 56k for a 25 hour new boat is a good deal IMO.

 

[OperationROL]

$49K is to attract visitors. I bet the 56xxx number is what he really wants.

The one on the link is about 5 miles from me. Im going to get in it, and harass the salesman. How easy is it to install a portapotty in the passenger locker? I saw somewhere it can be done, and will make a good accommodation.

Thats whats important, the wife hates doing her thing out in the open. The kiddo does too, but she doesnt care. Id also like to have a second engine. The Scarab 255 is nice, but overpriced. I rather get the LS.

Im just kicking the can around. I love my boat, but it would be nice to have what I mentioned above.

Might need to revoke your scarab forum lead title. . . .

P.s. for $49K that other one would be worth towing it home.

Yes - Danbury is Candlewood Lake - fresh water.

I can go check this out if your interested @ScarabMike

Shit - if I like it, I'll buy it and tell you it was sold by the time I got there.
