    I’m tempted! What do you guys think?

    https://lakeland.craigslist.org/boa/...764485660.html

    Need your expert opinions please and thank you!

    Please keep in mind that I already have an Ultrex to throw on it, and the electronics on it have no value to me so I would have to upgrade those. I also get a new/different boat every 2-3 years.


    Price?
    Options?
    Accessories?
    Resale Value?
    Or wait for a Lynx to pop up for sale?

    In my opinion it is a great deal. It is my local dealer and if I didn't get a Sabre from them 2 years ago I would be all over this one. Also the dealership owner is a great guy and will take care of you. FYI I am not affiliated with them at all.

    also they are running a deal right now

    I think the only reason that hasn’t sold is the color scheme. I would’ve already been all over it.

    I actually really like the color pattern! My last boat was black ice with a royal blue flake. Color is definitely very objective to ones personal preference and contributes to resale. Red and silver is about original and exciting to me as a pair of khaki pants. When it comes to resale the majority rules and you have a good point!

    If I build I would do this same color pattern again. It sold super fast.

    Agree with others, it's been for sale for a while, and the color is the only reason I can think of. There are more pics at the aquatech marine website if you haven't seen them already. I check that website pretty regular looking at basscat's as it's the only close dealer. But, similar to that horrible emerald green/khaki one on TFF earlier this year, can easily be updated with a wrap if so desired...

    The boat itself is an excellent deal. Might even be able to work a better deal since your not interested in electronics or TM.
    I agree that the color selection may be the reason for it not selling. Keep in mind, Pics never give a true impression of a boat and colors.
    I have seen a Caracal with the same blue, but instead of white it was the Charcoal color and it was a fine machine!

    I'm astounded at the colors some dealers pick. Sherm does an excellent job.
    Some of these guys need to let their wife's pick out the colors!

    Agreed. That Legend is sharp. I have no idea what some people are thinking when they order some of these boats. I personally could not buy that boat. Also, agree red and gray are not that exciting. However, I could easily stomach over some of these colors I see at dealerships.

    Get in touch with Grimm Marine in Mt. Ida. He won a Caracal in a championship tourney and said would make someone a deal. He's also a Basscat dealer.

    Bear in mind, it's in Florida and the color scheme appeals more to that market than the rest of us. It is a great deal though.

    That's a great deal and I'm surprised it's still around.

    I've seen the boat in person. It's nice. The colors don't bother me at all.

    I can’t figure out why it has not sold. To me, that blue is beautiful.

    The boat is a great deal, especially since you have the Ultrex to add.

    That and it was overpriced to begin with.
