Baller Keith_Menard Posted April 23, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2018 I live in Massachusetts...where they have a deal with auto dealers that they will put stuff on the road that will dissolve your Truck in return for Excise taxes or something. I have a trusty 2004 Denali, but after 200k, the body is starting to rot and its only a matter of time. So, I went out and looked at a 2016 Escalade today for shits and giggles. While I am looking at the new Escalades which seem to be priced around a new Nautique, I was wondering...which did you pay more for...your boat or your truck?

Baller MrJones Posted April 23, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2018 Bought them both used and it's been a couple of years since the boat. If they were purchased at the same time it would have surely been the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller WoodySkier Posted April 23, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2018 @"Keith Menard" I have a 2016 Denali for sale if you’re interested. Basically the same truck as the Escalade, white 6.2L engine and every option imaginable. Send me a message if you’re interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bigtex2011 Posted April 23, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2018 My spouse has a new Escalade. We are part of the Malibu promo team. Her vehicle was more than the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted April 23, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted April 23, 2018 Most of us plead the 5th when commenting in public. For disclosure: 1997 Nautique purchased in 1998 $24k ZO repower in 2012 $10k 2012 F250 purchased in 2014 $37k If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller igkya Posted April 23, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2018 Wives are expensive, call girls much cheaper and not nearly the price of a ski boat... but I am old , so your mileage will vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted April 23, 2018 Baller Share Posted April 23, 2018 My boats are at least twice the cost of my cars. I buy for the mission. A good ski ride seems to be a lot more than transportation. Even the Corvette (project of course) was less than the Nautique we got around then. I'm still happily married so the wife costs are manageable. And she likes cheap cars. I'm worried that the boats will cost more than house soon. Maybe that needs to be a choice in the poll.

Baller Keith_Menard Posted April 23, 2018 Author Baller Share Posted April 23, 2018 @WoodySkier Denali is up next on my 'vehicles to test drive'. I really didn't like the interior of the Escalade nearly as much as I thought I would. It's like they half-assed everything rather than doing stuff the right way. 15 minutes with the CUE system and I wanted to smash it with a hammer.

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted April 26, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted April 26, 2018 @jetpilotg4 that's why I have a 20 year old boat instead of a $130k Nautique:) Its all in the priorities.
