Re: Is the 30 worth the money???
 

Is the "right price" determined by working up from what the preowns are going for, or a discount off what new ones go for? Thats the problem with a "new" 2 yr old boat....Good luck; especially if the dealer is not willing to accept the fact that the boat has depreciated while sitting on his lot!

Re: Is the 30 worth the money???
 

Thanks everyone for the advice! I guess it does depend how much the dealer and myself are both willing to loose, but if you are buying the boat to keep for a while then it should all pan out in the end. I will have to see where I can get with this...It is still early. I really haven't found any used ones yet, but like a mentioned it is still early...somebody let me know if there any used ones that somebody wants to move....Thanks!

I see a pre owned 2005 30 with HO's at www.chicagofountain.com Looks like a nice one.

Also a couple on www.yachtworld.com

Re: Is the 30 worth the money???
 

Have you thought about a 33’ Outlaw. Dan at AB WaterSports has a 2002 33’ Outlaw that looks clean. The cuddy in the 33 seams a little more user friendly and the room in the cockpit is huge for a performance boat. Not sure how they run compared to the 30??

I also have nothing but great things to say about everyone at Alton Blakely Water Sports. I have purchased 7 boats over the years and had nothing but great experiences with each. (and yes the therapy is going well….. 11 months with the same boat and counting)

What are they asking for that one speedboatr?

Re: Is the 30 worth the money???
 

I did not purchase a boat from Dan at AB, but I spoke with him several times. He was GREAT to deal with. I was looking at a 275 at the time.

Re: Is the 30 worth the money???
 

I think they are asking around 108K for the 33'

Re: Is the 30 worth the money???
 

That is a good looking 30 at Chicago Fountain :D

Re: Is the 30 worth the money???
 

So what is a good deal on an 05 and an 06 with hos?

What is the best deal made or seen?

The 30 might be my next boat if I can off my 36.
