[C320-list] Fw: oooooopppppppps

[Allan Field]

John - I think you may have been overcharged.  It appears that the "show
discount" may have been a bait and switch on the engine - they told you 325
hp International and then substituted a 35B Universal engine.  Check out

Hope you can take some gentle ribbing!!!  Best wishes with the new boat -
this is a boat that Linda has always coveted!  We are envious.

Actually since I placed my order at the boat show I got about a discount on
the options, the total price on the contract is:

Standard list price $144,756
Optional equipment with boat show discount $27,867
Commissioning $11,950
No trade discount -$4,000
Total $180,573

John,

Are you saying that the new 36 was about $145K including about $32K of
equipment you listed??
