I need help - Am I crazy to be thinking this?

I'm sure your X-25 is really nice, but IMHO if you can make the switch to an '08 40th anniv Xstar WITH THE LY6 engine and net $20K or better, you won't look back.

Just my $.02

LOVE MY '05 XSTAR!

Forgot the most important part.......a pic!



The boat still turns heads were ever it goes, and everyone that wakeboards behind it loves the wake!

I am in the exact opposite situation. I have an 09 Xstar (only used one year of warranty, bought it "new" last Feb) but I am thinking about getting into a new 30, was thinking 25, but there's getting to be too many around. I'm not really sure what got me thinking this way, just something got in my head and that's that.

Time takes its toll on boats - any boat - so no way would I go from an almost new 2012 to a 2-4 year old boat, and expect it to be better than my new one. If needed from a financial perspective, fine, but that is the only way I'd do it. If you were talking about selling to get a 2012/13 new version of a different MC, that might be a different discussion, but I don't think I'd be happy going to a 2-4 year old boat.

Also, there are many of us that have zero problems with the electronics on these. We are typically hearing from those who have had problems on these forums, not the vast silent majority of owners who have had an excellent experience. It sounds like you have had a few problems, so I understand the sentiment, but that would make me all the more want a boat in warranty. Who knows what problems the 2-4 year old boat is going to have? Just my 2 cents...

Of course my wife wouldnt trade the new boat for anything, and we all know who wins that battle.

Me too. I miss the the "Airguide" logo. NO electronics (well, cept for a kick as sound system)
