Honda or Ficht?

John it happens all the time. A dealer brings a boat in with lets say a 175. A customer comes in and wants that boat with a 200. The dealer is not going to order in another boat with a 200 on it. Thats what the boat manufacture wants and everyone else in the industry wants him to do. So the dealer pulls the 175 off and installs the 200. Done deal. Now this dealer has a new 175 that he paid around 30% less then regular dealer cost. New boats should not come prepackaged and this would solve this problem. It adds up take the 250 di engine with a dealer cost of 14090. A package dealer takes the 250 off and installs a 200. He now has the 250 and can sell it for under 10000, and still make some money. Its all a number game.
