We seriously considered buying a new Ski Nautique last fall, the technology has improved so much since 2004 (my current boat). You want a perfect wake, just push the button and the computer does the rest. We demo'd it for a day and I have never wakeboarded better. Dealer was down almost $20k as it was a "leftover" 2017. Out the door with trailer we are at $103k for a boat. I just don't know if I can actually buy a $103k wakeboard boat when my current one is paid for and in showroom condition as it has spent it's entire life in the garage. Maybe in 2 years we will buy a lightly used 2017 for $75k, still a ton of money for a summer only toy.

I will give Nautique credit that the interior has some of the nicest stitch work and craftsmanship I have every seen. When I asked how so many people afford to buy new, they offer financing up to 30 years now, I just thought great I will be almost 70 and still making a boat payment.
