I had to pay over $600 to replace a KEYPAD on a Nautique (no labor, cost of part only). I will say I felt like the dealer could set whatever price he wanted, and did. I'm certain it is MUCH cheaper than that to manufacture - like maybe $30. Point is, based on that experience, the Linc will not be cheap even though it may be an inexpensive part to manufacture.

One can buy a keypad at nautiqueparts.com for $170, with the PN discount. The MSRP on keypads is only $375, so $600 is getting burned badly. Sorry to hear that:(

 

The new linc is way cool, IMHO. LCD screens are pretty tried and true technology at this point, so I'm confident they'll last - perhaps not as long as good old analogs though. I'm not aware of the replacement cost of a linc, but at least it's only one gauge, versus an entire dash pod (like the Teleflex debacle).

While I realize you can do better on pricing buy not optioning a boat out, ski boat pricing has gotten completely out of line with economic reality. Just one more factor that makes it hard to grow our sport with a broader audience and with younger skiers. Water access, boat prices, equipment. Water skiing has priced itself out of the market of most people.

Does any diver look down after the first beep while pulling a skier through the course? Like the new graphics. The angled shadow lines on the side seem to coinside with the spray leaving the hull. Cool!

I will say it looks weird but cange often does. There are several car makes and models that implement this off center gauge package. Now in a car, down and to the right makes no sence. Sure, better forward visibility for grandma and maybe a 10 yr old.
