Ready to Ship
There are several pictures on Facebook but there has been one change. Your boat will have the new upholstery from PPI. It came out awesome. Hopefully you can take a few pictures at the show, we were not able to to take really good photos before shipping it down.
I will see if we have a couple that we can post.

WOW is all I can say about this thread. I finally took the time to read the whole thing. Good or Bad there is ALOT of talk about Hornet and thats why we signed up as a dealer. David how is our Yellow boat coming. I can't wait to get it in our hands and have it at the Overland Park KS. show later this month. Post some pics when you can. We will have a Boat Show special of 28,900 for the package we ordered including the trailer. Any questions feel free to call us @ 573-552-8727 or call my cell @ 847-323-0039

David,
What happened to the original base target pricing of around 16-17 for the boats. If I am not mistaken I think that was mentioned in one of the trade magazines and posted somewhere a while back one of the forums as well.
Just curious what brought this one up to a 29k boat show price ? I know that usually boat show pricing is a little better than normal MSRP.
Mind you I am not bashing, I am just more of a curious cat as to what is in it and such for that package price besides the trailer.
I am guessing it is an engine upgrade & interior maybe?
Also, just a friendly FYI.... You might want to set that on the front cradle/dolly a little better & get a proper set of lifting straps for your guys.. I would hate to see someone get hurt or the boat get damaged after all the hard work that goes into a build.. J

The boat that was mentioned includes Hideaway flush mount swim ladder, Fusion Ipod integrated sound system, 4.3 MPI Engine, All flush mount Stainless hardware, Premium Upholstery, Removable Carpet, Thru Hull Exhaust, Custom 4 Bunk Trailer, and a number of other premium components. When all of these options are chosen it adds to the price but it also makes for a great value and a fun stylish boat. We may build a base model in the future just for catalog photos but we just don't se a lot of interest in the bare minimums.

We had hoped to get a base boat out the door for 18k. Some of the choices we made during the development make that impossible. We are using vinlyester resin which is twice the price of polyester. We can get the price down quite a bit when we build a base model but we will not be able to get to 18k. Another thing that happened is when we started to build a base boat we decided we did not want to have that hit the market early because it was going to be one of the first Hornet Boats people see. Ultimately when the online configuration tool is running, people will be able to order a base model that cost thousands less. We think most people will end up configuring the boats similar to what has been shipping lately.

No need to worry about me. 29k is still reasonable when you consider everything that goes into building these. I know the materials, power, etc just cost money..
I also agree that most people dont want the base anything. They just want know what the base is and how close the $$$ can get to it.. lol
Most people don't leave my shop with the base anything either, but almost all want to know what the base is..
As you may already know eventho I am licensed as a PA boat dealer in, I don't sell boats. I used to do some light brokerage for a friend in the industry and helped him cover the northern part of his Donzi sales territory.
My shop was set up years ago as an independent approved Donzi service outlet, but sans the sales end.. It was kind on nice as I could help someone get into a Donzi if they were looking, I could also offer them service, repair, custom & resto work or warranty work. It was cool because I also did not have to worry about floor planning a bunch of boats..
Before the banks got all goofy and the economy went to hell for many people AND I had more free time It worked pretty well. However my shop tho was keeping me more than busy and left me with less and less time to spend on brokering, so I just figured I would not worry about doing the sales thing anymore..
Anyway Good luck in the upcoming boat shows & sales..
