Default Entry-Level Trending

No matter what happens with each brand, the trend toward an entry-level offering from a new builder, as well as an entire line from a trend-setting dealership, is good news, https://www.speedonthewater.com/entry-level-trending/

I often wonder about that...
if you can afford a 60k toy, what are the odds you can not afford a 75k or closer to 100 k toy? Some wont of course, but what about the 80% that probably can?

i am all about entry level pricing even if it is not dresses like a christmas tree... no problem with a basic not pimped racing version... but i am effraid most would not choose that option...!!!

That 907 (29’) coupe with a 500 on it for under 200k? Bad azz.

if that is the case, then i am happy there is still a place for cheap entry boat...
i still got moulds i did not have time to build a boat with, but i prefer entry pricing personnally
but was not sure how to think the first build...scared of not being able to sell en entry boat because everyone would want all the bells and whistles...

thanks !
