What will a 2019 Nautique really cost?

[FredF]

If I go to a dealer next year and try to buy a promo Nautique with 200 hrs are we talking $90K?

[The_MS]

If you are willing, they will take it.

[swc5150]

You should walk into a dealer right now and talk pricing, if you'd consider dropping $90k on a 200 hour used one.

[mbabiash]

All promo boats will have the 6.2 this year so you might be able to get a new one with the base 6 L for same or less if you have a dealer that won’t rape you. Early guesstimate from a promo guy was high 80s for the 6.2 promo boats.

[mbabiash]

I also heard a rumor in Miami that the 200 isn’t gone and they will be stripping it down to a low price point. Maybe that’s why the supreme carbon pro program was halted.

[LoopSki]

I just took delivery of my 2019. The first open bow off the line. I paid south of 100k. I opted out of all the Sea Deck so I paid much less!

 

 

[Mateo_Vargas]

@LoopSki I see they kept the fuel tank in front for the open bow version. Is this a foreign model with the steering wheel on the other side?

[Horton]

Good for sales of promo ProStars and Booos. You can get a 200 hr ProStar for almost 30k less.

[Ilivetoski]

@Horton still too much.

[Horton]

@Live2ski Lots of great 10 year old boats out there.

[ConPexEr]

@horton how much for a promo ProStar?

[skiboat38]

@Ilivetoski too much? For who? Daddy won’t buy you one?

[Horton]

@ConPexEr boat pricing of course depends on options and features. It seems like the Nautiques will run 25 to 30k (roughly) more a promo Mastercraft.

[bigskieridaho]

Forgot about Nautique. Just go buy a Mastercraft. They are just a pleasure to ski behind and cost a lot less. Probably will be my next boat when I buy one. Seems everything about Nautique is just a turn off.

[dave2ball]

Due to supply and demand I reall don’t see the new Nautique promo edition being resold for less the 100k. It will have the 6.2 motor and to my understanding there are very little to add as far as options other then metal flake and a camera.

[The_MS]

I wonder if the cost will eventually see fewer skiers tricking behind the boat due to practice time?

[eleeski]

@MS We have that discussion a lot. Even the other new boats give us the same dilemma. I chose Nautique in tournaments last year because I had so few training rides behind anything else. This is not going to help.

 

The restrictions on hours in the promo program will make it worse. Trick sets are supposed to be an hour. I don't see mooching too many hour sets when the tournaments alone consume the allotted hours. The days of" let's go ski" are over behind new boats.

 

Anyone know what boat will be in Chile for Senior Worlds?

I wonder how many of these new nautiqes will actually be sold to private individual for individual use. Seems like the only way to make this boat make Financial sense is in a club, ski school or promo boat

[DW]

@LoopSki : 100k +/- is a surprisingly small % compared to the overall financial picture of someone that has a nice home on an upscale private ski lake. My guess would be enough to validate the corporate investment in the new boat. The hope is those boats actually get used, kind of like the average supercar that sits in a garage and does not get driven.

[LoopSki]

@DW I have a nice home on a ski lake. Im nowhere near affording that boat. My prostar was a stretch only made affordable by a bank loan.

[LakeOneSkier]

@DW , I've had two homes on private lakes and built another lake. $100K was not a small % of any of them.

[DW]

Same for me a 100k boat is not on my horizon. There are probably enough people that are blessed with the financial wealth to afford and snap up enough of them to make it a feasible business plan to offer a 100k boat. Lots of marinas are packed full of 7 figure boats.

 

I stand corrected, 'nice' was a poor choice of wording as pretty much any house on a private ski lake is nice. How about '$7+ figure'.

[jhughes]

Feeling really good about buying my 16 promo back in 16. Thought it was the most financially irresponsible, ridiculous thing I've ever done at the time. Now it feels like I "got in" during the good ol' days! Woohoo!

[LeonL]

@eleeski you mentioned limited hours for promos. First I've heard of that. How many? Next question that will probably remain unanswered due to confidentiality, what's the lease payment that promo guys will pay. In the past lots of Nautique promo guys basically broke even on boats, except for years when there was a significant price increase. Now I assume it's gonna cost them a substantial amount. How long will that last? Of course, Nautique may be giving them a great deal, but not the deal they had previously.

[swc5150]

@LoopSki word from my dealer is they’re building 300 of them, so they must be assuming a lot of non-promo interest.

[thager]

Yeah, old Glastron fans!

[ALPJr]

 

[EFW]

You know what P T Barnum said right? I'm sorry they're on drugs. They are totally out of touch with reality.

[Moffattra]

So awesome! My dad got one of those when I was about 12, I thought an outboard ski boat was stupid, until all the older girls came to check out all the red metal flake...

[WoodySkier]

You’ll pay a premium this year because it’s new and there aren’t many on the market. Next year I would bet a new one would be within range of a similarly equipped prostar. I priced out a prostar with the 6L engine and nicely equipped and MSRP is $118k, Base MSRP without adding any options (no stereo, no trailer, no rear seats, no bow cover, no cover, no carpet, no mirror, no heater, 5.7L) is $78,570. When you actually price out these boats with MSRP they are very close in cost.

[swc5150]

According to my dealer, there are plenty of 2019 build slots if I wanted one, but it wouldn't be for this summer.

[LeonL]

@swc5150 that's kinda confusing. Plenty of build slots but not this summer? I would translate that to mean no build slots this summer . Wait until next year.

[dave2ball]

The boat takes longer to build.unlike the 200 It’s not a quick process.

 

[swc5150]

@LeonL From what my dealer says, I could only order one once the 2019 build slots begin, which is September-ish. But then there will be no problem getting one. The 19’s floating around this summer are for promo and demo purposes. He’ll have a demo in July for us to ski. If this is in contrast to what the promo guys are hearing, pleas correct me. I’m just assuming my dealer is feeding me accurate intel.

[Horton]

FYI a lot of the rumors I heard weeks and months ago about this boat have turned out to be false....

 

Nautique is going to make as many boats as they can sell. I seriously doubt there will be a shortage but I would not be shocked by a 90+ day lead time on a boat.

[pregom]

Whatever the cost turns out to be, the laws of supply and demand will work out, as for any other product out there. However, I think the shrinking number of people in this sport is not helped by these price points.

[Tkl127]

I have a 2018 Nautique 200 for sale in Wisconsin - new!

262 880-zero eight seven three

 

 

[BuoyChaser]

The build-to-order slots seem to be Dec '18 at the earliest for delivery . . .

[The_MS]

Which engine?
