2. Hello CRT- saw your instagram post, yep I want a new 42................well we quadrupled sales, 2 year wait on the boats, 90 days out on the swag though so you can live the lifestyle!

Can you see the dilemma for a rich guy impulsive buy? Also with Bitcoin 20% off the highs, I'd doubt anyone would be ready to cash out to buy a boat they can't get for months/years.


Yet they can go to ebay right now and buy all sorts of exotic cars today and drive them home and park them in their existing garage even if it is in Kansas! Performance boats are generally more restrictive to where/when they can be used. You can buy a 500K car and drive it through NYC today, tomorrow, heck every day this week! New boat, not so much.
you really think people that invest in crypto are impulse buyers? when it has been proven time and again that its a long haul investment?giving them the avenue to build or buy is a move that no one else is making. I made a call for 46 and 50s that can be bought and found 4 that are available that aren't listed anywhere. there is inventory for people that have cash.

New 2022 models? The comment was about new boats that CRT is building/delivering not used inventory. CRT wouldn't be promoting used boats/past models because they don't make any money on those.

Remember CEO Alex was promoting to rich tech/crypto types..............do you think those guys would want to represent "used" boats in their role as future lifestyle ambassadors?


As far as being impulse buyers............yeah if you have the cash you don't want to wait! How long did it take Elon to buy Twitter for 44 billion? Do you think he would wait more than a month for a new Cig?

this is the most prolific statement in this thread, they arent building cigs for me, they are going in a diff direction, and what the curmudgeons on here think makes no difference at all.

Nah..........the answer is NONE but CEO Alex thinks they are the new customers for his product lines.

I've said it before, CRT and Harley Davidson have the same issue...........their client base is aging out and the younger generations don't have the interest and/or the income for the product lines.
Remember the 90's....... Arnold was in Terminator 2 and suddenly everyone wanted a black fat boy (admittedly that was a cool bike). That was 30+ years ago so if someone was 40 back then they are 70 now and certainly aren't looking for a new HD. Performance boats are the same issue but at a bigger price point.

I dropped a car off at a buddy's body shop yesterday. He has owned multiple brand new Fountains (the last 3 were 42's). He owned them for years and the last one probably didn't go 200 hours in 8 years. He still goes to Key West for the races, still goes to local boat shows, still lives in the same waterfront home yet won't buy another go fast boat............he is 73 now! He realized with his last boat he doesn't use them enough and when the same boat is now triple the price it gets harder to justify owning anything despite having more money than ever before!

In my opinion, I think they are all too expensive. All boats, across the board. I could never justify the cost of a new boat. I'm not a millionaire. I'm a blue collar worker that makes a decent wage and works hard for what the wife and I have. We both do. Hard to justify with our short summers here in Michigan. Which is why we have an older boat. It's paid for and we enjoy the hell out of it. Just my opinion

Why do we keep talking about performance boats? How many performance boats does CIG sell compared to CC's?
