Group Buy - Jabsco Ballast Puppies 18220-1127

[RainDog]

Depending on the price, I'd be in for 3 or 4.

[Chexi]

By my count that is as many as 15 so far. Keep 'em coming.

I may be in for a couple. Thanks for the work on this.

I talked with Chad, at WakeSkiShop.com, and here's what he can do:
15% off the Jabsco pumps and then an additional 10% off your entire order PLUS free shipping. So it's roughly 25% off the pumps and 10% off anything else you want to buy. Regular price on these pumps is $240.

The Jabsco pump he sells has the best impeller, I am told. Jabsco sells and also includes the lighted switch. These are the same pumps MasterCraft and Supra put in their boats. Here?s the link: http://wakeskishop.com/index.php?mai...products_id=86

Here's what you gotta do: Go to WakeSkiShop.com and create an account. Then contact them and tell them to add you to the Planet Nautique group pricing and also tell them how many pumps you plan to order. Once Chad gets enough buyers, he'll send out the coupon code for the 15% pump discount. He'll run the discount for about two weeks once he sends out the code.

Chad is a great guy that I know personally. I know he isnt getting anything out of this himself except a little promotion for his website. I hope this is pretty competitive for pricing. I know he is going out of his way to make this work and I made sure to thank him for that. I hope this helps the cause, I havent seen much from this thread for a while.

Thank you very much Don. Assuming that is 15% off and then 10% off of that, by my calculation that would come to $183.59 per pump, which is a few dollars better than the best price I have seen these at so far. I am checking on one other source for group buy pricing and hope to get back to everyone in the next few business days. Thanks all.

If the price noted above is still significantly above the price you are looking for, please let me know. I don't think we will be able to do much, if any, better than that, so if you are looking for a better deal, I would need to subtract your pump count from the running total. Thanks.

The other place came in a little bit higher, so for those interested, I suggest going with Chad at wakeskishop.com per Don's post above. Good luck on your install projects all.

this is cheaper without any negotiation....

[Chexi]

I'll check to confirm they use the good impeller and come with the switch.

[Chexi]

That link is to the correct one with switch and yellow impeller, but once you add the 9.95 for shipping, it is more than the group buy deal (which has free shipping). Pretty close, but the group buy deal is a bit better if you are willing to buy now. You also get the extra 10% off on other items.

[wcherashore]

did you try wakemakers?

[Chexi]

No, I did not.

[wcherashore]

I'll ask. Right now there is interest for 15 correct?

[Chexi]

Well, I'm not sure who might have already ordered, but 15 was the number.

[Kevin_B]

Is there a deadline to the group-buy? Also I have been reading up but how difficult is it to plumb in ballast?

[Chexi]

Deadline for wakeskishop is end of February. I would go ahead and sign up now though and follow the instrutions to get the code.
