Hi Everyone!
New to this site though I’ve been stalking for several weeks digesting a lot of great info! I was looking for a 242x but couldn’t find any. Happen to call a local dealer and they just got a 2020 212x in and was about to list it and put on showroom floor. It only had 30 hrs and was selling for $65k with cover and wake package along with some other miscellaneous accessories left by previous owner. The boat was originally purchased 3 months ago.I grabbed my family and booked it to the store and fell in love with it - especially since it was in my fave color combo black/yellow. I know the boat market is extremely hot right now and I was thinking I wasn’t going to buy anything until winter but maybe got lucky. I know this price is probably pretty much what original guy paid for it though dealer said it was closer to $70k.Threw down by deposit and signed paperwork and will take delivery this week.
I usually haggle over prices but in light of our current market I know i had to pull trigger now and pay the price. We really wanted the wake series jet boat as all my kids (9-11-21) and my wife and I wanna learn to wakeboard - yes we are newbies at that too!! I hope I don’t regret not waiting for a 242x but can always trade up later. I am curious from you owners if you think there’s much of a difference in ride between the 212 and 242? Also, please tell me I didn’t way overpay...felt like it was pretty much a new boat at 30 hrs. Any other nice tips for a rookie would be appreciated. Can’t wait to get her out next weekend!
Thanks in advance!
Dennis
