Better get your thinking up. The 450R is mid $50k to over $60 depending on configuration. The 500R is expected to be several thousand more expensive. I guess $170k is doable if you delete electronics and trolling motor.

A fool and his money are soon parted is relative. Most people that can drop 150 grand on a boat are not fools. They are pretty smart to be able to buy it. To some it may be foolish. But it is relative to ones income. I see $90,000 trucks and $80,000 boats multiple times every day. On some boats that is not even with all the upgrades. I for one am envious of those that can afford it. 20 years ago people were saying they would never spend 60 grand on a boat. There is a market and customer base for pretty much anything.

Both Ken's have pretty good taste in boats lol

Very, very few of the guys who can drop $150,000 on a boat can actually afford it. The vast majority of guys rolling around in their lifted 3/4 ton trucks and $100k+ boats are barely affording the minimums. Oh, and they've got the truck on a 7+ year loan and the boat on the 15-20 year loan. Once the great credit crunch happens and unemployment actually goes up like the Federal Reserve is shooting for these boats will have their values drop pretty quickly. I feel sorry for the people who have overleveraged themselves to catch some ditch pickles.
