Well if you do decided to call on any just make sure youÂ’re sitting...
Been looking at boats on www.offshoreonly.com for the last few weeks and seems like most of the manufactures donÂ’t have the balls to put a price on the boats they advertise. All I see is call for price or call for best price. Well I took the bait and called a few manufactures and found out why they want you to call for price. I just about fell out of my focking chair when I found out the price of some of these new boatsÂ…Â…WTF
I did find a few manufactures that did have the balls to put up a price and one of them was Kachina, yes I said it Kachina. And for 124,990.00 you can buy a brand new 34Â’ fully loaded with 496hoÂ’s. Well after looking at what some of the manufactures want for a boat of that size I have to say, if I was in the market for a new boat I think I would find my way right back to Kachina.
Most of us only keep a new boat for two to three years before we are ready for a new one. I for one would hate to be one of those people who paid 200.000.00 to 300,000.00 for a new boat only to loose 75,000.00 to 150,000.00 in two years. LetÂ’s face it we take these boats out and abuse them, beach them on shore, have people climbing all over them and party like itÂ’s 1999. And when itÂ’s time to sell all we have is a used boat, nothing more nothing less.
IÂ’m very curious to see what will happen with the boat market this year.
I guess with all the boat spam on here lately I just wanted to give Kachina itÂ’s props.

Maybe you should consider a used boat instead?

My next boat will be used. But for once in my life IÂ’m going to be smart and wait until next year. I may be wrong but I think we may see some changes in the boat market this year.
If you are buying a custom boat, from a custom boat manufacturer, I would think it would be impossible for them to advertise a price, unless the boat was spec'd out.
Any price that I saw advertised, I would be very skeptical of, thinking it was a bare bones price, and where would the real price go from there.

Here is a good example. IÂ’ve been watching this boat for almost a year. The price started at 170.000.00 and heÂ’s down to 135,000.00 and still no sale. 525Â’s with only 60 hours. I would guess that boat was over 200,000.00 when he bought it new.

Very nice boat, but I do feel graphics are a huge selling point in any boat, and in my opinion, those graphics are holding him back.

They could advertise a base price with 496hoÂ’s and standard equipment. If you wanted to upgrade then the price would be more, but at least you would have a starting point.

Yeah, graphics are not the best. IÂ’m waiting for it to drop to 100,000.00 and then IÂ’ll be all over it.
