ONE DEAL (LOCAL) V/S ANOTHER DEAL.....5 HOURS AWAY

[JAY989]

LOOKING TO GET A 2006 22O TE SUPER AIR NAUTIQUE. TRYING TO STAY WITHIN A BUDGET OF 50K....I KNOW GOONA BE HARD BUT I HAVE TWO DEALS VERY CLOSE...THESE BOATS BOTH HAVE ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES THE DIFFERENCES BELOW I WILL SHOW

DEAL 1- TEAM EDITION ZR6 WITH 55 HOURS, HAS THE LITTLE CUSHION IN FRONT TO MAKE PLAYPEN SEATING EZ ILLUSIONS TANDEM TRAILER WITH 20" WHEELS, STAINLESS FENDER WELLS, STAINLESS STEP BARS, AND A SPARE.....

DEAL 2- TEAM EDITION EXCALIBER 80 HOURS REGULAR MATCHING TANDEM TRAILER NO SPARE......

MONEY IS CLOSE BETWEEN THE TWO, ONE DEALER SAYS THE ZR6 IS NOT REALLY NEEDED, TH EOTHER SAYS ITS VERY NICE TO HAVE....IM JUST LOOKING AT THE UNIQUENESS AND FANCINESS OF THE TRAILER AND IT HAS A ZR6.... SO ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

Where are you going to store it. The illusion trailer on 20's is really tall. If it fits where you plan on keeping it then deal 1.

OK HERE IS ONE THING I DIDNT POST......IF I DO DEAL #1 ITS NOT MY LOCAL DEALER AND IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WILL I GET THE SAME SUPPORT IF I BOUGHT THEIR BOAT???? STORING IT NOT AN ISSUE.....THE DEAL DIFFERENCE IS 1250.00 NOT MUCH

RE: ONE DEAL (LOCAL) V/S ANOTHER DEAL.....5 HOURS AWAY

First off..

Sales guys usually dont really care about the service deaprtment cause all they want to do is make the sale.

Service guys dont care where the boat comes from as long as they are getting paid. Timely service is a different issue.

Go with #1, the ZR6 is greeeattttt! PLus your local dealer doesnt need to know where you bought it from. Whether its another dealer or a dude down the road, its still under warranty.

The ZR6 is so worth it. Dealers will work on anything. The sales guy that said it is not needed is completely wrong. Go with deal #1

The only thing I would say on the dealer is if it is a small dealer they will care. I'm about supporting the people that are going to be servicing my boat. They may service it, but might take them longer to do it. JMO. Also I have driven the 220 with both motors. Unless your going to be doing an extra 2000 lbs on top of the ballast the 330 is perfect. Not a wakeboarder, but it has a monster wake with the factory tanks.

330hp vs 390sum HP

The Zr6 is going to work alot less to get you where you want to go. Plus its cooling system makes it a breeze to winterize especially with a heater.. again go with #1

Option #1 because of the ZR6. That engine option alone adds up to the resale value of your boat, if you need to sell it. The ZR6 option is about $3k to $4k new. Plus, the ZR6 is just a sweeeeet motor. As for gas consumption, the difference is very minimal between the excalibur. Keep in mind, once you load your boat with gear and wake enhancements, that ZR6 will be well worth it.

I had a 06 te 220 with the 330 loved the boat will do the job fine just probably change the standard team prop. But saying that the extra horses in the zr6 is nice.
