2018 Boats Are Live

[hyman989]

I texted my dealer on the x star they said there is nothing they know to why the x star orders are done for 2018

I'm sure its the 50th Anniversary Xstar and all the dealers have bought as many as they could or were allowed therefore all are Sold out.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that I doubt this is the case....... 50th or not..... I think they are not making any 3rd gen stars for 2018. Maybe a 4th gen, but nothing is known on that yet.

2018 Boats Are Live

I saw the same thing the other day.

Where did this info come from? Current one is on its way out more than likely, but i didnt see any info that points to no orders period.

I think it did come up when you pulled up the build a boat for the xstar. Now it's not even available to build.

2018 models just became available to order, and MC immediately states that 2018 Xstar production slots are currently sold out. So... sold out for how long? The Xstar has the lowest number of orders next to the Prostar, and they are sold out?
I'm sure if someone were to try and order an Xstar now, they would probably be told late fall, early winter - after a potential new model is released, but thats speculation.

Hopefully they release a sweet looking 50th anniversary Gel Scheme with it.

I just hope its good enough to shut people up about the Gs.

To get people to shut up, someone needs to make a boat better than the G, and they really haven't. The X23 is a great surf boat though, and I think the M235 was kind of a flop. Supra has a new boat in the works that is supposed to be pretty sweet. Probably released soon.

This happens all the time.... Most of the time you dont hear about it, because dealers will modify their orders for inventory to meet a customers spec.

I understand what you are saying, but I have never heard "we are unable to take orders at this time because there are no future production slots" unless that model is getting dropped. I have ran into production slots that are 4-5 months out, but not "sold out" unless the manufacturer decides not to make many, like the 2017 Nautique 200.
Maybe it's just different understanding of the terminology - so does MCs "sold out" mean they have already taken so many 2018 Xstar orders that I couldnt even get one for next spring?
Doubtful. I'd put money on this current model being discontinued.

I would guess that's their way of trying to hide that another is in the works and it is coming soon enough where there is no point in making the current xstar for 2018. No production slots available? Never heard of a model "sold out of production slots", especially a flagship boat.

I've heard something is coming at Surf Expo mid september but didn't get any other details.

Does "no production slots available" mean there's something new to come soon? Sorry if this is old/non-news.

Also no production slots means theyve sold all their boats theyve allotted for this year

Cool, thx

[MC25]

So, you're telling me that for a mere $16,000 I can have an upgraded tower and 2 speaker pods? Heck of a deal..... LMAO this is getting crazy.

Its been like this for years.
