I really shouldn't say this, because I know that this is gonna cause a chit-storm of a thread, but I'm gonna say it anyway. It's open discussion right, so let's discuss it.
Is the boat business so bad right now that we're resorting to selling inventory by a raffle?? I'm not saying anything bad about the boat/brand. Brian invited my wife and I to go through one in Miami back in Feb. and I was very impressed with the quality of the boat. Is this a sign of the current market. I think it very well may be. Sorry, I don't mean this in any way to be a bash on AT, and I really don't mean to Hi-Jack. For the record, I think it was already down the hi-jack road before I got here - it just raised further questions to me. |
The collors are good.
I'm trying to lower my boat count tho.. not to increase it. |
Here is the thread that discussed this before.

What happens if only 10 tickets sell?
I thought a raffle has been brought up before and determined to be illegal? |

This isn't a game for the guy that can't afford to buy the boat outright. Don't mean to knock the idea, I just foresee the boat not being taken care of because the new owner can't afford to properly care for her. And yeah, insurance on a rig you really can't afford, but hold a clear title on is optional (in most States) if I'm not mistaken. |

Heck I can't afford to buy the boat outright but I sure will take care of it if I win it! Boats really aren't to bad if you don't dump fuel into the tank every day or two. The only thing that may be a tad expensive would be the sales tax when you register your new prize. I NY when you win something you have to register I believe you pay Sales Tax on Blue Book Value or some other predetermined value....and that may sting a few people. Good luck!
I agree, There is a big difference between being able to buy a 100k+ boat outright vs. coming up with 1K to throw down towards a 1 in 100 chance of winning it. look at it this way. If you do win it you have 99k left to spend on fuel and rigging and insurance!:drink: |
