Affluent lifestyle I guess, I'm not on that level . I didn't know that part, I'm not on that level either. I don't think he's involved in the day to day anymore, and I heard Meg is out of the business completely. Maybe they have good managers and run things remotely who knows. I didn't hear any of this until boat season was over, so I never asked Matt about it. But I see him almost every weekend, and we shoot the shit all the time. He and I are the only 2 Cranchi owners in the marina, and he's much of the reason I bought one. As it is, Matt runs the Norwich store, and i think Tom is back running the Vernon operation. Guys gotta be 80 now. Like I said, I still don't get it. Tom and Chris and their wives were really good friend with my parents back when they had boats, even went on Chris and BBs honeymoon with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and hope you are correct! Haven’t bought a sled in three years, and the miles are racking up on the three I have… (over 30k between the three of them) Edited December 1, 2023 by Mag6240 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive by it every day, and I see the same 10-15 BRP pontoon boats all wrapped just sitting there, along with at least 100 crates of all kinds of other shit. I honestly don't see how that works as a business model. But the local camp trailer/motorhome dealer, same story. These people pay cash for all this inventory that is sitting there depreciating? Nope, it's worse than that - they borrow. And, it ain't at 2% APR, neither. I used to be in the business, and we routinely charged 19.8% APR on floor planning (inventory financing) from day 1. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floor planing is 18% right now after our substacies run out. had a meeting with a customer today and we decided it was cheaper for them to order less at a higher up front cost vs ordering more for a lower up front cost risking interest on units that take longer to sell.

I'll shed zero tears for anyone. couple years ago beyond that there were rebates, golden tickets and only suckers paid full price. IDK what it is some of you want tbh... It's like many of you have severe ADD this was at a local high volume Polaris dealer last week... What a smoking deal! Gotta buy 2 at that price. I’m laughing at all the chumps who snowchecked ‘24 sleds this year. They’d paid ridiculously inflated prices just to get fucked. It’s hilarious! Last spring guys were saying don’t buy. The OEM’s are raising prices out of greed, don’t support them. I hope snorkels were included with ‘24 snowchecks as they are so underwater.
