When is a V408 going to appear in the northeast (I had been hoping for the Newport show)? I can't consider it if I can't see it!

Fly out to the factory... they'll show you one...

They are quite nice.... but that 500k pricetag is going to leave a mark... LOTS of nice boats at that price range...

Agreed! Which will make the inevitable decision for what's next a lot more difficult than what I faced when I was getting into my V358 (all I was looking at then was express cruisers in that size range). But my experience with my boat has been terrific and as long as I'm considering a hardtop cruiser with a retractable roof as a possibility for what's next, I will definitely consider the V408. In fact, there's not a whole lot to choose from in that precise niche. I really dig the Regal 44 SC in terms of layout and features. I'm not crazy about the lines of the boat though, and it may be a case where seeing it in person could change my opinion. That's what happened with the color scheme of my boat. When I saw a photo I wasn't sold. When I saw it in person I was in love (and still am).

When you are talking about a move up like that take a look at the Formula 45, my neighbor has one and it is huge. The hard top with the air conditioned cockpit is really nice and it fast for it's size.

It is a fine boat, although there's a bit of blandness to the interior and cockpit styling in the late model Formulas IMO. And if I do go the hardtop express route, I love the idea of a full beam sliding roof like the Regal, Jeanneau or FW. The Formula's slider is smaller, although their windshield design is terrific. And with retail pricing starting at a million bucks, well, let's just say there are A LOT of other boats I'd consider first! But thanks for the suggestion Dave - I'm always looking for people's real-life experience because pictures never tell the full story.

Show pricing on a H180 should be around the 19k mark, volvo 3.0L, cockpit cover, bimini, coast guard packages included in all boat sales, galvanized trailer with Gator Hyde coating. Check out our website for pictures of all our in stock boats. http://www.twincitymarine.com

Sierra, We will stock a new V435 (V408) when we move our V378. You are right it's a beautiful boat but definitely something you need to see in person!!!

Thanks for the update. I was just curious how pricing might differ from a show as compared to regular dealer pricing. The non-show H180's in our area are priced the same as yours.
So I would assume the H180 with 4.3L V6 will be "around $23K"

Hope you have a good show.

Still have that white/copper 2007 318 in inventory? WOW, I thought that thing would have sold by now. That's the boat that got us thinking about a 318 versus a 288....

Or maybe a smaller "move up" to a 2006 40PC. I looked at this re-po at the local Sea Ray dealer a few weeks ago. $299K for this "new" boat is not bad IMO.

299k will get you a FW 378 with IPS drives.... EASILY.

At 199k, that Formula is a deal... not 299. I don't like how Formula jacks up their pricing as it is. Gorgeous boats, but not worth it.

Really?? A 2009 V378 will MSRP for roughly $450K...Are they shaving that much off the cruisers?

I did see a freshwater 2008 with IPS for $299,900 But, not too bad a price for a 378 if it checks out. Not too many freshwater ones with IPS.
