Nautique price raise

[OxDoc]

Placed my order today and my dealer showed me a price raise that will go into effect on Nautique boats built after February. I can't remember the exact percent but it was around 1.5 percent. It didn't affect me because I slipped in under the cutoff. Just a friendly shoutout to anyone who is ordering a boat this year.

Hmm... Manufacturers set prices by model year usually on July 1. Sounds to me like it was a line to get you to hurry and commit.

[OxDoc]

No, I saw the memo from Nautique. Also, I was told after I purchased the boat. Dealer said this is the first time they have ever done that.

Important to note the percentage increase applies to dealer cost, not MSRP. Also, this goes into effect in the next few days.

They priced me out of the market years ago . I'm so glad they built such a great boat in 08 mine has 900+ hours and still looks and runs like new.

I hear u man! I need another recession and subsequent blowout sell or bankrupt price! Cannot wrap my head around paying what people pay for these new boats.

So when is your build due to start? My dealer told me they were backed up on G23 until end of February when I talked to them about 6 weeks ago. Methinks it was a sales ploy to encourage a deposit.

Last year, I submitted the deposit the first of January and got the boat March 23rd. It sounds like the demand is so strong for 2016 that they are backed up a lot more...and they can justify a mid year price increase. I guess it makes sense for a business to capture more profit if demand is that high.

I don't know yet. My dealer said that he would call in a week or so to let me know. He thought it would be in mid February.

If my dealer was telling the truth, then yours should not be until a fair amount later. I will be waiting with baited breath....

My dealership is usually open Saturdays, but a text about the price increase went unanswered. I suppose a phone call is in order.

according to my dealer:
the slight increase is already in effect - you can see the msrp change on nautiques website.
they are also out to the end of feb/early march on Gs. apparently the '16s have been a hot item.

Glad I already signed an agreement on a price for mine which still hasn't actually been ordered yet. I didn't want to take delivery until Feb (which my dealer said he has a slot for a boat already allotted for a Feb build and that it will be mine) so he said he doesn't have to send in the build sheet till about January.

It could be much worse, due to our falling canadian dollar boat prices have gone up 35% on average in the last year.

[OxDoc]

Yikes! 35 percent is crazy. Our prices are bad enough, but at those prices I would have to find a new hobby.

I wonder if anyone has any speculation as to what will happen with the used market for 2015 models. I am nervous the old laws of supply and demand are going to make it a buyer's market for recently used G23's. Lots of guys seem to be upgrading.

[Bevostein]

I would think there will be downward pressure on used prices (particularly 2015s) not only because of upgrading but also hull changes/new features
