Larson's no longer selling Nautique

[DaveP]

I have to agree that the pricing must be putting enormous pressure on the dealers. I spent a lot of time shopping for a boat and frankly, CC was not on my list DESPITE a life long lust for the brand and the ability to pay the freight. I could not justify the brands pricing structure. Used, certainly. New? The price sent me running to other brands.

Having said all of that, I actually pulled the trigger on a 210. But had my wife not fallen in love with the boat (lucky for me), I would have been having this discussion on a discussion board dedicated to another brand. Is Nautique $5,000 better than all the other brands? Yes, I think so. $20,000k better. I'd have to think about that long and hard. In the end, I bought it so I guess I said yes. But I voted with my heart, not my head. No way to rationally justify the bump in price. And I will say without reservation that the quality of the dealer (Silver Spray) played a HUGE role in the purchase.

I have no knowledge about Silver Spray, but the quality of any dealer is shown not prior to or with respect to the sale, but on the service after.

One more thing, the new dealer has never sold inboards/tow boats of any sort. They sell pontoon boats and yachts.

I think Sun Country carried Sanger boats at one time. I remember stopping at the Ontario location to look before I bought the Nautique.

They must have carried them before CCC did because at one time CCC picked up the Sanger line so they had a lower cost boat to bring in additional customers.
