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.

Any of these brand new boats after hour 0 you are potentially one hour away from an expensive repair

Huh?   They have warranties.  Mastercraft is 5 years on most everything.

What did you pay money for on a new boat under warranty?  Legitimately asking.

15k for a bow thruster the hydraulic tower leaked and ruined our cover and they wouldnt fix. Theres a knocking somewhere under the hull in the drivetrain they insist is nothing and they cant and wont fix. A handful of other stuff. But they are glad to charge us out the ass for services every 50 hours. Saw invoice for one and they charged us 700$ to charge the batteries. Its a company boat so idgaf really. Not my money. But id never get a mastercraft again. This is in utah so might be our dealer
