The seller informed me last night that he no longer will sell it at our agreed to price (in a text). This comes after we set up payment between our two banks, after he sent me a bill of sale, after we arranged transport and meet up (Temple Bar of all places). As far as I was concerned this was a done deal. I was just about to buy a new prop to take with me to get it as we planned on staying the weekend there playing with the new boat. Note to self, cancel the hotel reservation at temple bar.
No doubt the guy sold it out from under me. I asked him what he needs to get out of it, at this point I'd come up a little bit. Now he won't talk to me. Must be sold to someone else.
So, anyone have a 24ve, rz2-4, Z3 for sale? Under $60k? Money is in place now. Ready to buy.
I would man up and let you know what I did, even though it would feel cheap after having the banks involved and everything. I understand that if someone local showed up with money in hand, he would be tempted to sell from under you, but not answering calls suddenly is so weak.
I suspect with the resources of the forum, you will find another in no time. If you find something in St. George, I would be happy to do a preliminary scouting for you.
There are a couple of Z3s at our dealer in the low 60's - I have to go down there soon to pick up a take off platform (hoping to swap my HUGE platform for one they have off of a '14) so I could take some pics and check it out if you needed. http://www.heinenmotorsports.com/pre-owned.html
Here's my take on $60k vs $69k boats.....not a big enough difference to make me settle for something that isn't quite what I want. $30k vs $60k or $65k vs $110-$130k......now those are big differences and worth settling for.
Especially once you factor in how much boating actually costs. Figure $100 every time you take it out of the garage. $2000 in surfboards. Wet suits, dry suits, new bathing suits, sunglasses, etc... I think on my old 2200v I had more money in boards, foils, skis, bindings, wetsuits and dry suits than the boat was worth.
That 2013 Z3 for $70k is pretty freakin sweet and will make you a happy camper for years. It's pretty close to what your max budget was and will scratch that itch. Plus...64 hrs on the ZR6 motor is great. Gotta love Idaho boats. Super short season, friggin cold lakes and too cold to leave outside = lots of low hour, very well cared for boats.
Bakes,
I didn't notice but that 2013 just sold and is heading to Vegas. The black and red 2014 is the sweetest of the lot. It was our owners family boat. Extremely well cared for, all maintenance done. Shrink wrapped every winter. Has a VX. Low hours. Pretty much the total package. With the 6.0L it's pretty much perfect. Way too rich for my blood, but knowing the history of that boat, if I had the coin that would be it for me.
I'm sure its blasphemy to say here but for the same price you could be into a new moomba craz. Been super impressed with the Craz. Skiers Choice has stepped up their game big time.
I've been very interested in this boat for a long time. There is no contact information though. I have emailed three times but the guy wont respond. I figured it was sold, but once again he has renewed the ad. I don't get it.
