2014 Z3 purchased, now the follow ups from other brand selling dealers.
I am thrilled with my boat show purchase and I really had no plans to buy something brand new untill the last few weeks, after looking at the prices of 1 to 3 year old boats I though I would shop new or leftover non current, I shopped and overthough everything...and every brand... primarily considered the MB 22 tomcat, Malibu MXZ 22 or LSV23 and of course the Tige Z1 and Z3, and picked the Z3 due to living on the lake and knowing you never have too much room for people and stuff!
Now comes the other boat dealers following up, I hate to take the calls since I know losing a sale on a boat over $70,000 is a big deal.
I would like to share an email I recieved and would love to hear from people who own or have first hand experiance with a Z3 or Z1.
( I copied and pasted this Email ) I am very surprised and concerned with your expectations of the boat after you said you did extensive research on it. I have a very close friend that worked for Skipper Bud's and I asked him his take on a Z3 and this is what he said "very tippy from side to side, not a lot of interior space for a 23, and they porpoise like crazy." I would like to offer this to you, test drive the boat before you sign on the dotted line, if they are confident in their boat they will hold their price and extend you that courtesy. I am willing to take you to Tennessee, where the factory is and test drive the boat with you to show how well a Malibu 23 performs out of the box compared to a Z3. In closing, I am still here to try and earn your business and hope you will take me up on my offer, if not have a great summer and (dealer name removed) is always here if you need service or storage.
I have no plans to change my mind!
thanks
