So I listed the boat....

[T-Squared]

I had the bug to start looking around and last Sunday I decided to list the VRide online. In 2 days it sold! I couldn't believe the interest out there and they say our economy is in the tank?

I watched it pull away today one last time...

Now I need to figure out what to do this summer, I don't know if I want to jump into another right away or wait for a 2012? Decisions, decisions....

Crazy huh,i sold my 05 vlx in 2 weeks with 2 people waiting to see if the deal went through.Used boat market is nuts right now.I ended up not liking the idea of no boat so i bought another, not as clean as my last one but it will be

Congrats on the sale. Waiting for the new ones to roll out is what i would do if i could afford it.I cant so i will always buy used

No Boat? All Summer? Couldn't hadel it.

Interesting, any toy that doesn't rapidly depreciate, especially in this day and age, is a decent investment/expense. After 2.5 years and 175 hours I would ask a little more than what I paid for mine and could probably get close to it (I've done alot to it and got a stellar deal on it). Problem is I would cry like a baby to see it leave and my 2 boys can't see that, and I can't downgrade to replace it and keep the wife happy!!!

I was stunned this spring when I started my annual search for a new boat. Used boats were selling in a week and we still had ice on the lake. Both Malibu and Nautique had sold all '11 slots. I started asking "what recession?". Just crazy. Congrats on the sale. I haven't heard much on the '12's but know they are coming soon.

Congrats on the sale !

Of course Malibu's are hot Not sure if boats like Bayliners are as quick to sell.

T-S I'll give you a holler if I pop up to Gun Lake this year ... I know that's in your back yard.

I have heard that they are making some changes to the VTX for 2012. May hold out to see what they are.

REW-I have a couple buddies with boats, so I will at least be hitching a ride!

MNation-sweet, let me know if you make your way north.

No recession for the wealthy.

There are several changes to the '12 line up.

I know where you need to go to get one!

BTW. Your buyers came right down here, and asked where to go ride. So we sent them to a local lake where they spent the afternoon

I guess I will have to get down there and start shopping!

I sent them your way since they didn't have a local dealer and it was on there way out if town. I'm guessing you recognized the boat when it pulled in?

[edgeski1]

I had to do a double take as i know every boat that has gone out of here in the past 10 years, and i've never done that combo of all white/white tower/wake vlx graphics.

I figured it had to have been yours
