Yes there was a boat show price on the Carver 34fly at the show. On the above stern pic the price was listed on that red tag affixed to the right hand side of the transom locker. My wife looked for a pen in her purse to write price down but no luck. Can't recall right now what that price was. Maybe another member here can follow up with price?

Mike.

No problem, just curious and could not afford one anyway.

Did they have the new Glastron GTS 225 at the show ? About $44K U.S. with 300HP V8. Other than the fugly
Red, Black and White color scheme. Looks like a pretty nice, and fast new boat.

Frenchy has a walk-thru video of the boat on You Tube, but I'm tired of seeing him and listening
to how "com-fourt-table and roo-mee" all the boats are. You all can google it if you like.

:lol: He sure has a thing for red & black. If I owned one of those, every time I pulled into a marina I'd feel compelled to yell, "King me!"

Looks like they tried to mix the max # of colors that would fit on one boat. Must have gotten a good deal on colored gelcoat or stick on graphics (hate those). My eyes hurt just looking at it, and the Glastron trademark logo belongs farther back on the hull for it to look right.
The smaller bowriders with the outboards look better to me.

Il y a trop de coulours ici, n'est pas, mes yeux, mes yeux.......(if we could read Frenchy's mind).......

Went to the show today. My wife loved the V475. One of the sales guys told me they picked up a '12 model with even more options than the boatshow display model from a dealer going under in Florida. The model was 699k, the boat from florida could be had for 510k :shock:

I'm checking to see how much one kidney goes for these days :lol:

Hi Blue Dragon.
Were did your wife see the 475 and what F/W dealer was she talking to? We were at the show and did not see a 475 , there was two different dealer locations working the show so just curious who has the 2012 in stock.
Thanks

Maybe it was the V435, but it was the boatwarehouse that had the largest FW at the show. Talk to Wayne Villeneuve over there, he was the one who told me about the discounted V475. If you do buy it, will you take me for a ride :)

I was at the show yesterday, and it was the 435 on display, along with the 335 and the 375. Loved all the hardtops they are puting on these models now, but it was amazing to me how small the 335 appears inside, didn't have much more room then my 298. I was on a 2006 378 last summer, and the current 375 has nowhere near the room of it any more either. The finish inside the 375 was really nice though but I expected a lot more room. If I where to ever move up, I'd go to an older generation 378.

All of the newer models lost beam. Along with every other manufacturer, they claim it is for better fuel consumption

Thats why I keep looking at the 2006 - 2008 V378. The fit and finish and technology on the newer boats is really nice, but you can still get IPS drives on an older V378, and it offers way more room. Fuel efficiency would take second place IMO to room, as I would likely just go to my favourite spot and anchor for the weekend, instead of boating all around the lake

Spoke to Wayne, the 2012 boat in inventory is a 435 the only 475 is the 2013 they have and that is not in my cards. But a 2012 for 520 Kwould have been interesting.
Thanks though.
