I was offered a 195HO Impulse for $36k, but ended up opting for the Yamaha for the more spacious interior and to save a few grand. The 192 definitely isn't as flashy though. If I could have got the Scarab for $34k that might have changed things.

Ok , I am in the middle of a 14 demo w 10 hrs and pretty much ever option minus scarab mat, table , filler cushion . And a 14 w zero hours and upgraded rims, wake board racks . Playing the game to see what the best price I can get. Ever since the 2015 boat show in Chicago , I knew this is exactly what I want !

I paid 36K plus bottom paint, taxes, registration, a whole bunch of other shit and it came out to 41K but hey I live on Long Island where everything is way overpriced. I just can't wait to get her on the water for a test drive this friday :)

Bought a 2014 215 HO Impulse as a leftover. Msrp was $66k and change. Selling price was $58k. Also received $30k sight unseen for a trade on my 2013 Yamaha 212ss. Overall pretty pleased with the deal.

In the central Florida area, they are trying to get 41k-47k. Haven't seen any in the 30's. I bought mine from an 80 yr old man who took it once and realized that a jetboat wasn't for him!

We bought our 255 HO platinum for $69,500. MSRP was $78.5k. We didn't negotiate all that hard. The dealer had already discounted it $8k. They ended up knocking off another $1k and I negotiated in a $1500 underwater lighting package.

We got an awesome rate from US bank. 3.75% with 20% down for 15 years. Payment is $435. We plan to pay it off much sooner than 15 years, but love having the option.
