2011 SANTE 230 - Loaded w/ 409 & 28 hours "Vapor Blue w/ White Lower Hull"

[BIGAIRCPA]

New to the nautique boat search. Been looking for a SANTE 230, new or lightly used, and could use some help. 2 Questions:

1. What would be a good price to pay for the above captioned boat / trailer? It has all the bells and whistles. Underwater lights, 4 tower speakers, filler cushions, carpet, radio on transom, ski pylon in back...etc. I am trying to gage a price to see if the offer is reasonable. I have looked on Onlyinboards, this site and boattrader, but most seem to have the "Call for Price" bologna.

2. What would be a good price for a brand new 12/13 with the same options & trailer? I want to make sure that i get a good deal.

I am from Chicago, so timing could be right...no boating here in the winter time!

Thanks for you help!

Can you supply some more detail on the options? I.E. Z5, heater, stock tower speakers? 28 hours is super low, is that a dealer demo? Would you get the transferred warranty?
Those colors are good, so a price range for you is from 70k-80k, new expect around the 90k on a 13 model...
YMMV. Right now I seen a TON of 230's for sale, I think many people willing to "parlay" to see if they can get into a G23...

Here is a 2012 with basic options for $88k at a dealer: http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/bod/3301084684.html

Look at Buxton's used inventory....They have a lot of clean, late model year, used 230's in stock....My 2012 will be joining them over the winter...

Thanks to those who responded...anyone else want to offer any more input? I could really use it.

Thanks

I came across a loaded 2011 with 150 hrs, 409, Z5, good colors and a blinged out trailer that the dealer was offering it at 79. Is this similar to what you are finding?

Had me in deep thought but I think I'm going to take the G series plunge. Too many former owners jumping at this new boat.

[BIGAIRCPA]

Yes, but with 28 hours on it. I am trying to get a full detail spec sheet but they have not responded to my email. The boat is on docksidemarine.net. Check it out. It is an Illinois boat and boating time is limited so could be right. I have a sea ray and I only put about 20 hours a year on it and I have a lake house. I am trying to get my hands on new boat pricing too. I may start another thread.

Oh, btw, he has it listed at $85K. I am sure he will ome down due to winter season. The hours are driving the price too...

I like the colors and the trailer. Talk him down to 80k or just below and call it a win. Its a new boat!

People are not really willing to discuss the new boat prices here so much, just as on most specific boat forums....A lot are loyal and don't want to reveal what dealers are doing....

You can start a thread, but do not expect much info...

Thanks.. I am not looking for what people actually paid, I am looking for ball park pricing. I want to know what a reasonable price is for these boats.
