You guys are singing my song...
Last year I bought my 06 DH-C from CFM. I paid 10.4 for it and had to add the troller and hybrid etc.
Tom and Beavis are on point.
1. I am not mechanically inclined and did not want someone elses problem
2. I wanted EXACTLY what I wanted and wanted it new.
3. There was no used market for DH-C's like there has been recently.
4. There was NO wait as compared to from the shop and pricing was the same.
It was a no brainer for me and I made the decision knowing that I would never get my money out of it.
If there were more choices (good deals) available at the time I might have conceded and gone for one, but I was not willing to wait and the boat was worth what I paid...to me.
For the record..I was not happy with my experience there and don't recommend them, or have my boat serviced there, but if they had a boat that I wanted when I wanted it and their price was where it needed to be...I'd do it again...cause it is what it is...
RCMay careful with assumptions...I am on my fourth Noe. and have been around here for awhile. My decision was not only "informed", but again EXACTLY what I wanted, when I wanted, for the price I was willing to pay. Thats pretty informed I think (That is not a personal shot for the record), just want to offer the other side of the debate.
Conversely, I would never, never wait multiple months for a boat I just could not do it. As a card carrying member of the Pepsi Generation I say, "I want it now and super size it!"
