Looking to buy a new tournament 206

[bmichon]

Hi.

I live in MA and am looking to by a new Correct Craft 206 tournament boat.

Can someone recommend a NE dealer and point me to a place where I can get recent sales data. I only can find MSRP and don't have an idea how much discount one can get off retail

email me at bmichon1@yahoo.com if you wish

Hi Brian,

I'd check with New England Correct Craft. I've heard good things about them.

Jeff is pointing you in the right direction. The dealers name is actually New England Correct Craft. Great guys to deal with. You will not find any pricing info other than from the dealer. They did just have a boat show so if you act fast, maybe you can get boat show pricing. Also, if you are going to order, you would want to do it soon as you won't see your boat until May.

Heh, yeah, you'd think I'd get their name right! As soon as I posted it I knew it didn't look right.

Definitely give NECC a call, the guys there are great.

I went to their Demo Days in October and got there just as they were closing up... They still took me out on the boat I wanted to check out and they even invited me out for pizza afterwards...

They're in Rochester NH, a little north of Dover. It is really an easy ride.

I've always talked to Craig (Warner), he's the owner of NECC. Great guy and VERY knowledgeable. In fact, I just talked to him last week at the NE boat show at the BaySide Expo Center.

Check out their web site... They have a new 206 listed there...

Good luck!

I stop by there every year. They have the best facilities and customer cervice I've ever seen. One time when I was on vacation in Maine, and a Nautique of his broke down on the lake. He then drove 2+ hours to do a "house call," and even if he couldn't fix the boat, he had an identical one ready to give to the customer!

You can't go wrong with them...

Also, if your towards the South part of MA, it is probably worth checking out Candlewood East Marina Club. They have the second best customer service I know. Yellow_Flash_Colorz: They will definately not let a customer down, they delt with my family for 7 months before we stepped up to the plate!

Hey...thanks for the pointers everyone :grin:

I've talked to Craig Warner and he putting a quote together for me on a 206.

Any advice on striping colors...?
I've got absolutely no clue in that department...I was thinking white hull as the boat will be in a lift during the season...and just a basic stripe...red? black? Blue?

So I assume I'm going to get an MSRP price...what's the typical average retail as compared toMSRP these days..any data points would be useful. If I can't find some data I'm going to have to spend a lot of time shopping around and I'd rather not frankly... but I'm not going to buy a new 206 until I have to have some idea of what folks actually are paying.

You can 'build a boat' on CC's web site. That would allow you to really play with the colors...

You might also want to check out the pictures here on planetnautique. Or check out the used boats on sites like boattrader.com. Just to give you an idea of what the colors look like on an actual boat.

I've always been fond of the silver cloud (White) hull with the vapor blue primary stripe and a black secondary stripe. For the accent tape, I'd go with the silver metalic. But that's just me...

What part of MA are you in? I work in Framingham.

Here's one of my favorite Correct Craft color schemes.

Jeff,
We’ve bought three new SN196’s (92, 97, 04) and all three had that color scheme. Just can’t get away from that classic look. We almost made a change in the graphics on the ’04 shortly after we got it when we had the crooked port side decals replaced. I took a picture in the shop before they put the swirls back on and we almost had them stop there because it looked so neat and uncluttered. Finally decided to have them put the swirls back on.
