2012 RZ2 Considering Selling

[Clax]

We have a 2012 RZ2 that we love, but on the weekend my wife and I talked about selling the RZ2 to spec out a new Z3. Are we crazy? Would it make sense? And how much could we expect to get? The specs are: 409 engine, pro ballast, upgraded enzo-style sacs from Mike's Liquid Audio, heater, carlotta wheel, cover, alpha z tower, tower of power sound, rev 8's, surf bimini, no trailer. The boat has 43 hours and is always kept on a lift. Couple of pics attached, boat is mint condition. Thanks for your help!

Wow, nice looking boat! I personally think you are crazy to sell a boat and get a new one with only 43 hours in one season, hardly got your money's worth.

X2 re crazy

The RZ2 is an amazing boat with a great surf wake. Also, there is something to be said for letting a new model (e.g., Z3) mature for a season or two for the kinks to be worked out before jumping on board.

I am going to agree with the other comments, I could understand if you needed a bit more room, but I would think there is not enough to make me change. I was having the same discussion with my RZ4 and Z3 but have decided to wait a year or 2 to see what is coming down the pipeline for the RZ4.

Good luck...

Oh great looking boat by the way...

I guess my take would be this. if you want a Z3 go for it. What market are you in? that will determine price. I think your only crazy if you have regret at the end of the day no matter what way you go. But that lift setup you have is sweet. I take a building will be going around them from the looks of things.

Yep, there will be a boathouse built on the steel tubes on the dock structure. Good eye!

Personally I think you are crazy, but if you have the money why not? Why does the Z3 have more appeal to you than your RZ2?

[Bruizza]

If you want a Z3 get the Z3. Doesn't matter what we think as long as you and mainly the wife are happy. I would expect to lose 10% or so off your purchase price. Depending on the dealer and boat show incentives etc.... It might make more sense to trade it in. That way you only pay tax on the difference in price between trade in value and the new boat purchase price. that alone can save you a couple grand.

This sounds kinda silly, but I'm a bit of a "gear whore", so when something newer comes out, I feel like I need it. Honestly, we'd probably enjoy the RZ2 the same as the Z3, but the Z3 is appealing because it is the newer design. That doesn't really make much sense, but at the end of the day our purchases are often driven by emotion.

Well if you do not have that much emotion tying you to that RZ I could be swayed, It is a beautiful boat

sounds reasonable... like I said if your happy in the end no harm no foul right?

Hahaha. If you are interested in chatting about the boat, you could send me a PM.

It might be hard to sell without a trailer.Example buyer wants it,where do you get a trailer to fit it in a reasonable length of time.Buyer will expect depreciation on trailer too.You will pay at least 3000 to 4000 for cheap trailer.Then expect 10% to 15% depreciation on the boat.Plus price increase on 2013 boats to make a 2013 Z3 cost more than a 2012.Sounds expensive for 43 hours of use,could cost up to 12000 .
