Maybe selling my 2013 Z3 thread, anyone looking or know someone?

[jdhart73]

Too long of a story to go into here as to why I am considering selling my 5 hours old 2013 Z3 but I am "thinking" about it.
The boat is wicked, enough said.... just may go another route. Anyone know of someone looking for a deal on a basically new 2013 Z3?

If I do sell I will just do what I have in the past and list on Onlyinboards or Ebay buy it now.... if you know of someone or are interested yourself shoot me a PM and I will be glad to answer any questions.

There are always people lurking...the Z3 seems like a hot commodity right now.

I think that it would have to be enough less than new to justify the stress of getting out to see it or buying it sight unseen. Then the stress of wondering if your local dealer will service the boat in quick fashion, and if you remembered to transfer the warranty, and how much Tige gives you the shaft for that. I also think a lot of the ability to sell it depends on how good a deal you got on it in the first place. I would be willing to bet that the prices of the new boats vary more than 10% from buyer to buyer with identical options.

I have no idea what people are getting quoted on these right now.
I would need 80k for mine. I think I got a pretty good deal and don't mind passing that on but someone might say that's high, don't know?

[loudelectronics]

I think that is most fair. I have seen that boat go for ~90k.

[jdhart73]

Thanks for the feedback. I might deliver within a certain radius too if that helped someone, dunno.

I paid a little less than that for mine with a much nicer trailer. 6k of the cost was the trailer. Mine however is a 2012 Z3 that I bought last year at a boat show.

I recently purchased a Z3, which has 7 hours and would really like to hear your story. I too am "Thinking" about selling mine too.

Email an option?

My question is why do so many guys want to sell the Z3 so fast. Those are supposed to be super nice boats. What did TIGE do that makes you want to sell them so quick? Is there somthing wrong with they way the handle, did you see another boat by a diffrent manufacture you like more or makes a more likeable surfwake or boarding wake ect ect.

Who else besides Mr. 7 hours wants to sell so fast?

My story is not one of discontent with the boat. I had a 2012 RZ2 last year and this boat
In my opinion owns that one! They handle like a dream, plenty of power and surf like a beast.... Everything I wanted.

The reason I am considering selling is my LITTLE kids monopolize the boat time with tubes and kneeboards and I no longer have anyone to drive for me due to some changes in personnel. I can't stomach owning a 90+ thousand dollar rig I pull tubes and knee boards with!

No conspiracy here much to the medias dismay! If someone has one and has a horror story that is a repeating issue I would love to hear it in case I keep mine, I'm not aware of any.

[jdhart73]

Qualify the "so many guys want to sell so fast" statement, how many fast sells have you seen on the Z3 vs any other boat?

Z3 Likes & Dislikes

we have a 2012 Z3
Likes:
size....its a living room at sea
power 340.....great plenty
options......endless
stereo....awesome
bimini/tower combo looks and operates great
Dislikes:
having trouble getting a consistent wake dialed (we have 60 hours)
blowing some fuses
battery location sucks...the engine compartment scares me.....if you ever had to service in there....jeesh!
engine hatch is way too heavy for wimpy hinges.....cracked the deck
carpet under drivers feet is bogus...gets wet and never dries
fit and finish is not as good as MC or Nautique IMO
guages failed....tach and gas
we asked Tige for the new 2013 step down cushion and they said no we will not sell for a 2012...BS
Tige warranty not transferable.....what does that tell you....they don't stand behind their product!

I would rate the boat a 7.5/10

Note we are long time boaters but new to wakeboarding......I would take $80K for ours.....boat house stored and babied!
Life is short....get on your boat!!
