When is the Ski Nautique 200 release date?

wooooooooooooo

sounds too high to me. I'm sure the price for tower, zr-6 and TE with good trailer will still be mid $50k's at most. The guy that paid $76k would have got taken in my opinion. You can't really add or remove much other than ZO and sound system. I don't think that adds up to $20k.

Regarding demand for 196, probably not much will change because their demand overall is low and the prices have been beat up pretty bad. I can see arguments for increasing and decreasing, so the net affect will probably be zero. However if you bought an 09 196 then the timing is probably worse than others.

Didnt say he paid $76k. That was list. No tower.

List on my '08 Limited was $54ish with trailer and decent options (not all of them). Then add open bow, Team Ed, 6L, long list of options, price increase, etc.

FYI, I still have my '08 List price sheet. A 206 TE with every option along (no tower) with a tandem trailer prices out at $83k.

For those of you still wondering about the demand for the used 196.

That's unbelievable. Here's an 09 LE on EBAY w/297 hours on it for a Buy it Now Price of $37,950.00. Looks like it has about everything including a tower except the motor upgrade, heater, stereo and tandem trailer. I know its an LE but what else can you add except the word TEAM on each side?

Boat companies must be old school with their marketing much like car dealerships use to operate. In this day and age of the internet, its hard to understand why that is. Retail pricing is for unsuspecting suckers or is just an outright joke.
