Glad you were able to clarify your posting errors. Pretty obvious you paid well over 59k for the godfrey. Why you repeatedly post 59k is very misleading when you factor in prep, tax , trailer and any other options. Saying you dont know exactly what you paid is complete bullshit also. Every boat sale has a final contract with final numbers and your signature on it so you know exactly how much you were given for a trade in and what you paid in difference. Some of us were born in the dark but not last night. For those of us that shopped around we know exactly what the local havasu dealers were asking for their products.

In today's market, it's fair. It's their middle of the road "S" model. No performance package and does not say what brand of motor. Also need to add a trailer. Deck down is lifetime warranty and everything else is 10 years.

Why does it matter what anybody paid for a freaking boat as long as the person buying the boat is happy with the deal, that’s all that really matters, if you don’t like the customer service at a particular place so be it, go by your damn boat somewhere else. Good God some of you people are disturbed! :rolleyes:

And yes this post probably means I’m just as disturbed as the rest of you.:confused:

$101,313.68 I live in California and my boat was delivered to my house in California. Now 2FF let me help you out a bit. Thats the number that is at the bottom of the sales contract that I signed with the dealer. A sales contract is an agreement between 2 parties wherein the total cost of the item being purchased is listed. This number is typically near the bottom below the description of the item and all the extras that were added in with the sale such as trade in amount, trailer, prep, tax, etc.... This number is usually very close to where your signature is on the contract. Does this look familiar to you at all?

Absolutely true is does not matter excpet when someone is posting obvious bullshit and you call them on it and they can't back up their bullshit. But this is kind of a common occurrence on this site too.

Let's get back to the prop testing results. As long as you are happy with your boat(s) (5 toons now I think total you said) and enjoying your time on the water that's all that matters.

So did you buy the same boat or something and are upset with what you paid? What's with all the questions?

I will get in the middle of this. Everyone needs to understand that Steve is a master negotiator. I have taken a trade in and sold him something and still don’t know where I stand. He will give u enough to piss you off. There is no reason to question this guy he HAS NOTHING to hide. He is a true stand up guy. Tells you how it is, if you don’t like it then move on...

This is the weirdest thread I think I have ever read on rdp..

You have warlock250 aka Todd who is one of the owners of Cactus, saying in this thread he doesn’t work for Cactus.. (That doesn’t even make sense?)

Steve has posted all over this site that he bought that boat for 59.9 (I have read it multiple times, because I thought that was a smoking deal for a toon with a 250).

Then coming back saying he didn’t say that.. it’s 45+ a trade in..

Then reverting back to the 59.9.

Lavey29 digging in on that fact and almost taking it personally, which is bizarre because why would he care what Steve paid..

Steve putting up boats and talking about putting them together to make a 17’ wide deal.. lol


It’s all over the god damn place.

You guys need to relax.

[QUOTE="warlock250, post: 3370689, member: 14468]Nobody else in that town sells what they sell. Jr's and Horizon sell a 1/2 of what they got a year lol. Lots of work doing it from where I sit.

That might be true, but Preston has sold more twin engine Toons than anyone in the country.

So volume wise on hin’s You might be right.. but dollars wise those twin rigs are what a 1/4 million bucks? When they announced their production allotment for the west coast Preston said “I’ll take all of them.”

I wouldn’t go making it sound like he or JR are small time programs.

I don't care to be involved in all the drama. I live far away it and I'm outta touch. Lots of people spend lots of time worrying about other people and there business and if they spent as much time researching and digging up old shit like they do and were to focus on making money as hard, lol they would be doing well and could buy whatever they want to buy. Just sayin.
Oh and by the way boys and girls I was informed today that a new Berkshire Twin will cost 20k more as of today. [emoji853][emoji22] FU Berkshire and Forest Gump Marine.

Forest Gump marine has hardly any orders in now and barely run the factory for 4 days a week they have issues there. And then they send out the email on Twins going up another 20k lmfao that's God damn crazy.

That's literally what I want. Have you ever owned or driven a hurricane, Steve?

If not, can you buy one and let me know your honest review on one please? Lol
