2022 mc boat(s) price increases?

[Cycleman6]

It took me a while to pull the trigger on my x22 and the price difference was huge! If you upgraded to a z8 tower the upgrade was 5500 and now it’s almost 11k, the trailer went from 11k to 15… it just depends in what it is. All in all the price difference was every bit of 20k

Yep, the z8 tower is now $10,090, and the XT24 trailer is 14,660! I had planned on ordering with the z8 tower, but couldn't justify the $10,000 upgrade. Gotta have a trailer, so no real option to opt out there.

Holy Scheiss!!!! 200 grand? Seriously? No joke?

I just ordered a 2022 XT24 today. April Build. Not sure what price was prior, but these boats are expensive! Base MSRP for 2022 XT24 before options is: 165,920. Total MSRP with our build is $212,200. If anyone ordered/purchased a 2022 XT24 prior to today, you can see if they've had a price increase this year already.

Yah, that’s what got my attention, my xt23 build was somewhere near 253 msrp, very loaded up but I was pretty surprised to say the least, as a few years ago I recall building out a fairly loaded xt22 for something like 165 ish maybe. My dealer is great and has always treated me well, I’m just scratching my head when I look at all of these boat prices. I wonder what this thread would look like in 2030?!

I ordered mine just over a month ago, and we ticked just about every option we could. Final MSRP was 225k

My trade difference equaled out to about $1k an hour. Loaded 2019 X24 going to loaded 2022 X24.
$30-$35K per year. I didn't trade.....

My X23 is looking better and better each year with the way prices are going. I had the itch to upgrade but for the money, I just cant justify it.

You can buy a house for what they are asking for a boat! A hole in the water that you are pouring money into. I wouldn't buy an airplane for that kind of money. A hole in the sky you pour money into. Just don't buy, when they can no longer sell these things, the prices will have to come down.

Used boat prices are tanking quick. Makes no sense buying new now and paying an extra 12 percent markup.

We almost bought a 2021 XT22 in April and decided to wait. The X20 really has a great wave. We surfed several boats this summer and enjoyed our wave just as much as the bigger boats. We just wish we had a couple extra feet, but it's not worth the high prices today.

I really wanted an X22 until I saw the price. I love my MCs, but the are a one trick animal and my water activities are changing as I get older. I love to surf and wakeboard, but I find we don't do that as much anymore and want to run to the islands/fish more.

Yes the X23 is a good rough water ride boat for an inboard, but it has its limitations. Running 30 mph, I'm at 4000 rpm and drinking gas with the limited 60 gallon tank. My boat is paid off in April next year so we have decided as a family to not purchase a new MC.

My next boat will be a center console and if I play my cards right, ill have a new CC and the MC for days we want to get on the water and surf. To me that the best of both worlds.

My 2015 X23 has been such a reliable boat I hate to get rid of it.

I've clearly been left behind in the dust for the target new boat buyer. I don't see myself ever buying a new MC again with what boat prices have done in the last 5 years. Hopefully my 2014 has many many years left in it. I had a hard time with the 2014 price at that time.

Used boat values due to covid allowed me to recover 100% of my 14X2 cost new. Yes I had to pay more for the 21 XT21 but the gap was a lot less with the boost in used value. This is probably my last new boat purchase. Prices are gone way beyond the blue collar worker who used to be Mastercraft buyers.

for real? (not trying to be snarky, i havent been looking)
id have figured the opposite with the new msrp continuing to climb id have figured the demand for lightly used stuff would go up and keep those prices higher? plus that covid price bump for all things outdoors

Just 4 months ago my wife was designing an X22. Last night she was picking colors for a NXT24. How quickly fortunes change. Price bump in July for 22's was bad enough. Now instead of off season discounts there's a winter increase?! Is this more a supply issue than demand? I'm keeping my X20 for now. I started looking at 26' cabin cruisers last night. Anyone turn one into a surf machine? Plenty of room for ballast and talk about rear loungers. Way cheaper than MC and comes with a nice little apartment. I could be living lakefront.

Nope, they’re definitely not. Just turning season where inventory sits.
