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!

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

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)

Speed

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.

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.
