Default 42 PR vs 42 Lightning

How can the cost of a 42 PR with 525's be more than a 42 lightning with the same power?

I can't believe these no cabin boats can cost anywhere near what a boat with ameneties cost. Makes no sense to me but what do I know.

Whats a 42 Ex cost with 525's? low to mid $200's? That ought to put the PR around $200K.

I just don't get it. Yes there is some development cost for the new deck molds and some engineering but it can't be $100K per boat produced can it?

Guess I will have to wait 3 years til there $150K and then bite. BTW Donzi does the same thing with the ZR and ZR comp. Basically the same price so it's not just fountain less you think I am beak bashing.

tooling, low production #'s. Overall new model. And, like it or not, you're going to pay more for a hotter product. The PR is awesome though

42 Poker Run, 42 Lightning , 42 Ex all the same hull?

How about a 42 Lightning with windscreen and 3 bolster backseat and the 3rd man removalable front bolster set up with a cabin with AC?

Lightning and Ex are same hull, not sure on PR.

There will be some good deals in 2yrs. PR has ballast tanks maybe that where the 75k comes from.
