Ok, I'm getting it... There is not 500k worth of boat, just all the other factors such as advertisement, labor, huge mark ups etc makes it cost so much!! Probably why they depreciate so much so quick... At least the ones I can afford!!

On a 500k msrp boat, dealer cost will be in the 300-325k, they will try to get 10-15%. themanufacturer will have 250k in it, so manufacturer makesv50-75k gross profit and dealer makes 30-45k . So it will sell for 330-370k

Just go to so,e of the websites that have price sheets. (Donzi, sunsation, formula do I know, probably others as well). Look what they charge for items where you know the approximate cost.
Example: Donzis build sheet on a 43ZR lists a 3 bank battery charger for $1,160. Even a top of the line 3 bank charger only costs ~$350. Of course there is labor of installing it built in but it's still way over priced. A garmin 740 is listed for $5760 and at the store is about $1000. Hell even props are heavily marked up. Triple Mercury Racing cleaver props is listed at $31k and would be about $18k etc etc |

I mean there are lots of factors in pricing of a boat. Name, engines, options, hours, maintenance upkeep, age, etc etc etc depending on the brand and the way it's optioned out, it's not in common to see used boats over $500k. You will quite often see those for sale for a long time
We looked at a new 39 Cig back in 08 at sports marine in ft Myers. They wanted MSRP and wouldn't come down. Had to laugh and walk away and he i sisted the boat would be gone in a week. I believ That boat was for sale 4 years before it finally sold |
I guess it just takes that one person with deep deep pockets! I know there is nothing cheap with those boats, repairs, fuel, up keep, transport etc etc!! It's like it doesn't end ! But I guess if you can afford the boat, you can afford the rest! I know personally I couldn't afford the weekend fuel cost!! But I can afford YouTube to watch the vids of them !!

You do know you could build comparable power to Merc for less than half the cost. On each package they sell...

Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, he created a way to build them by the thousands.......cheap. When 40,000 people will pay $60K for a 33ft cigarette boat you just might see an assembly line to build them that cheap. Currently, even the builders that put out "standard" models are actually building a fairly custom product.
The craftsmanship and technology in these boats today are awesome and we pay for it cause it makes us happy |
