Manually turned on the bilge and nothing.

Nothing as in no water and no sound, or nothing as in no water but could hear the pump running?

That fitting spun in any direction will still not line up with the bag inlet. There is no slack in that tubing either. It’s too short off the hard tank T valve to manipulate in any way. 

I just ordered straight replacement fittings rather than waste time, effort, energy further on it. They were $5. It will be 30 minutes of upside down, nearly-stroking out work. It’s a pain in the a** for something that went from “plug and play,” to, just, not, but is what it is at this point.

I found a new $220K MSRP 2023 23LSV for $135K. Looks like the fire sale has begun. Should I take it or wait? No idea what will happen to service in the future.

@texasred If you like the colors and it has the options you want, that's a pretty good price.  I missed a couple good deals on used boats I was looking at when playing the "what if" game, LOL.

I looked at a few leftover 2023s (this was back in January) at Tommy's and a few other places, but they either lacked my must-have options,  were colors that I didn't want, or were too expensive for my budget.  When you are spending six figures on a toy, make sure it's close to what you picture in your mind and not just the cheapest one.  

I ended up with a used 2022 with 20 hours on it for a great deal, with my options, in my colors.  Excited for the season!

Good luck on your search!

Per my Tommy’s sales rep. yesterday.

“Found out today that with everything currently going on we aren't even taking trades in. They said that it will be a temporary thing and hoping that’s the case but as of right now I can’t even get you a number.”

Check the options. I’ve see several boats like that that are low optioned. M5 motors etc.
