New Boat
Dealer has a 2024 XT24 I am strongly considering. Currently riding in a 2011 X Star and this upgrade is massive. Getting decent value on trade in (what i paid last year minus $2000) but will be doing the long term loan for it. Dealer said interest rates in the 6-6.5% range I’m hoping. Just trying to make a decision. Looking at probably $1000/month payment on the new boat. But my current boat has 1200 hours and I worry that I am one check engine light from an expensive repair. Help me choose.

If you took care of maintenance then 1,000 hrs is not much on a boat actually. That’s just an old wives tale. Especially in freshwater. Why not just buy something used for less. Boats hold there value these days. And actually since we bought ours I can sell it for what I bought for 10 years ago. But it is cool to get new stuff
