    The bigger named pros sometimes get no charge boats as part of there deals. what i mean by that is a pro could have a boat built at no charge then he is able to sell it and keep the cash thats how he gets paid. Not sure about Edwin he probably gets 1 a year and and maybe just cant sell it What years are the boats if they are diffrent years or if they are the same year that will tell you

    Most Pro's or even Staffer's will have there Boats up for sale Before they even have or use them Sometimes.......they will take reasonable offers on there New unused boats and will let them go at end of the season.....some guys take care fo them......some don't.....personally.....I'm not to keen on owning a Fully Wrapped boat unless it is something I have accomplished on my own

    Other than that there's nothing wrong with it other than what you like or want in a boat......sure it will be used and a ton of hours on motor.....but most of them still come with a Full Factory Warranty.....sometimes they will aunty up the 5yr deals to get rid of them & opt for the added service extension themselves.......guess it depends on Who it might be.


    I'm sure with all the economy is doing right now it will still be a tough sale for a good Used Pro Boat.....let alone some of them might be relying on that sale to make ends meet.......but ya never know I guess

    Dan is spot on. Additionally though, some pros as part of their sponsorship package receive a salary on top of the boat. Staff guys for local dealers can run demo boats every year with the understanding that they either sell the boat or start making payments when the next model arrives. Staff boats are usually great deals on good boats with low hours.

    Some years ago Guy Eaker said that Earl Bentz gave him 2 boats a year so I would assume that some of the top pros could get 2 boats in lieu ofr monetary compensation. A couple of years ago Kevin Vandamm went through at least 3 Nitro's as 2 of them broke apart on him. Larry

    The Dealer staffers i know get a substantial discount on their boats price. they can usually buy as many in a year as they can afford, but in practicality one a year is average. Any more than that and the dealer starts to get pissed that he has a staffer underbidding him with his own boats.
