Will the Blades be for sale after the Alter Cup? Any idea on price if they are?
Generally the idea is that the boats ae sold as demos, sometimes several thousand dollars cheaper than buying a new one. In the past they have been under warranty but are in "as is" condition. I think the way it works is if you have pre-purchased one, you get "pick of the Litter" to some degree. If you show up on the spot, you may get a better deal but not the top boat selection. Just think of trying to deal with that inventory after an event. Can imagine trying to take 11 boats back to Vectorworks.
They did that with the Mystere 4.3's several years ago, a $4000 boat cost $2800 purchased ahead of time. Most all were spoken for. Don't know with all the difference in price it will be so easy for so many to shell out >10K. Lot easier to come up with $2800. We'll see how it turns out, there will be a lot more traffic and speculation on that as the event comes closer.
Great way to jump start a class, hope it all comes to pass. That will be the true beginning of the F-16 class in America. Most of the guys who qualify are the best of the best would sure kick the Portsmouths if all them bought into the class.
What I want to know is:
[color:"red"] [/color] WHY ONLY 11 BOATS?? [color:"black"] [/color] aren't there more participants than that??
CARY
WHY ONLY 11 BOATS?????
