Used to be pretty common for the big dogs at poker runs to have their boats transported/serviced by someone other than the owner. Jason Ventura started Brand X Performance marine on exactly this business model and was staying busy last I heard.

"Hello Cigarette Poker Run hotline? Yea, ummm...I just had my new 515 delivered to the boat ramp and the outdrives wont go down...I even turned the keys on....nothing!!! I have 6 people standing here waiting to go boating! I spend 1.5 Mil on a boat and I get it with dead batteries?????WTF !!!!"...............PHONE CHATTER>>>>........"OMG Cigarette Poker Run hotline! Thank you so much! You guys are the BEST !!!!!! I will look for the main switch panel!"

$1.5 mil on a new 515????

drives won't go down b/c there are no engines or anything under the hatch - you ran out of $$$ before the boat was finished!

LOL that’s the first thing I thought too!! Lol that’s funny.

try 3 mil.

The 515 at the show (grey) was 2.3 mil

Wow! Just goes to show how outta touch I am with pricing. My bank account puts me in more of the 1988 BULLET price range, which works for me. Cigarette wouldnt even give me that hotline number!

Whew...Still. Crazy. I remember not too many years ago a 50SS was a mil.
