Phoenix 618 prices

[WI-Bass00]

I'm looking at possibly getting a boat at some point this year and just trying to do all the research I can before purchasing. I have started looking at getting a used boat that is a few years old to save a little money. I have also been looking at the possibility of buying a new 618 pro. I see a lot of new 618's listed for around $34,000. My question is do dealers have any wiggle room on the price or is the listed price the best they can do. I would like to buy new for the added benefit of warranty and being able to pick the exact boat I want but want to stay within my set budget.

Dealers always have wiggle room. More so if you have a trade. I would think they would have less wiggle room in a smaller boat than a bigger boat.

I would say that's a pretty decent price, but it all depends on options of coarse. The dealer will up charge over double the actual price on electronic and such. In hind sight I would build mine through Phoenix rather than get a dealer build.

What do you mean by build through Phoenix? What are the pros/cons?

[Robss74]

I believe you still work with a dealer, but you design your own boat. Pros, you get exactly what you want, with no upgrade charges(which btw are insane). Cons, you wait 6-9 months for it.

6-9 months? Wow. I spoke with a dealer about building one and it was 10-12 weeks. That is the way I plan to get my next boat which will be a bird. I want to at least experience ordering one exactly how I want.

you are correct on the 10 to 12 weeks, go on over to Foothills they will hook you up

[tyler calloway]

Yes they will! Bought my current boat from foothills and hopefully ordering a new one within the next year from them as well!

[jettdog68]

Wait time should be 8-10 weeks and upgrades should not cost double the retail price on electronics.

[WI-Bass00]

Looking more for an in stock model that is the basic package 618. Only upgrade would possibly be better electronics but nothing too huge. Thinking Lowrance Elite 5 or 7 in console and up front. Not set on those units.

Go see Neal at Southside Marine across the river in MN. He will give as good a deal as anyone, and is relatively close to you being in WI.



Good luck!

I have a friend looking at getting one upgraded for what seems to be a great deal. It has the upgraded 80lb trolling motor, gatorhyde trailer with diamond plating, mark5 elite with side/down imaging, padded deck, cover, wheel upgrade, 3 bank charger, and some other little stuff for 37000 otd. I am not sure if great deal or not, any input?

Options on my rig. Dual console, dual axle trailer with c frame and gator Hyde
ratchet straps on trailer
82# motor guide tour
merc smart guage
hydraulic Jack plate
3 bank charger 15 amp per
completly wired and set up for 3 lowrance hds units that I provided
Tempest plus prop 24
$38k even out the door. All taxes and other fees included.
Hope that helps.
Most dealers were at 40-41k all said and done.

[CKEyra]

So sounds like its about right on with pricing for the options, he really wanted the 4-stroke for some reason plus he will be upgrading graphs and selling the Mark 5s. Thanks for the input

Clarker.....What dealer was that. Thats pretty much the 618 I want to order later this year. I'll just change the motor guide to a Ultrex.
