The other factor is the strong USD is killing it for overseas buyers this time last year this boat would have been $275k AUD now it's $436k AUD due solely to the exchange rate... an Extra 160k is alot of cash to make up on the exchange rate alone.

I was seriously interested in sending them an offer of 250K until I read this and then made a few phone calls and asked if it could be true. The answer I got was 50-100K per year not including the fact that my F350 isn't capable of hauling it. I can afford to buy it, but I in no way can afford to own it. Back to shopping for my 525 36 Nor Tech with #6's or asd's.

On the flip side, if you smoke something, engine, drive, transmission, it's gonna cost you money.
A 46 Skater is a beast, period.........ask Byrdman.
You will need at least 3 people to help you launch and retrieve it. Pulling into your favorite little cove??? Forget it.
Family boat??? Forget it
Easy to tow?? Forget it
OWN anything around.......yep.

Thanks for thinking of us Bill ,that is one beautiful rig but I have to agree with Rudy, way to much boat for our 50 to 100 mile Cheapskate Bay adventures.
We want to keep the weight down and the beam in the 11' range to fit my current high lift.
Hate to see this happen to people, it's a shame to have to give that boat away,what a deal !

Dont get cheap on us Glenn
Buy this Badd Dawg and Rudy can put your Talon motors in my 40 and send the 46 this way and will work out the minor details...

Bet you could get a smokin' deal on this too - won't pull it with an F650, but I bet it will get around on it's own bottom just fine...
