2017 Crestliner 1750 Raptor for sale w/ $1500 Crestliner Rebate

This is a brand new 2017 Crestliner Raptor 1750. This boat comes equipped with a Mercury 115HP 4-stroke and Shorelandr trailer. There is tons of storage! Comes with center rod rack that can accommodate 12 poles, cover, 17 gallon stern livewell, stereo and many more options. It is not equipped with any electronics right now so you can put on it what you would like or we offer a package that includes a Minnkota iPilot trolling motor, Lowrance Hook 5 or Humminbird Helix 5, trolling motor batteries, quick plate, prop, starting battery and tie downs for $1,595. Those of you that have shopped electronics know that is a heck of a deal! The trolling motor alone is over $1,000. If you buy before October 15th the Crestliner Silver tag rebate is still going on and will save you $1,500 on this particular boat. We offer Best Outright Pricing and our down and dirty price on this boat is: $29,790 (after rebate is applied)

I bought a new crestliner from this place this year. Worst experience ever buying a boat. Salesmen, manager and mechanics the worst!once you sign the dotted line, they will careless about you and talk about screwing up on the order. Now I know why their inventory of boats sits on the lot all year.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t about 30K the sticker price for these boats? Sounds down and dirty to me!

Actually MSRP on this particular boat is 33,618 as it is equipped. This is before you add battery, prop and tiedowns so basically 34,000. If you added the additional package on top of this our price with the option package would be $31,385 compare that to an equipped price of 36,188 it’s about a $5,000 discount. So not exactly correct Merican Eagle, but is this the kind of boat you are looking for? We certainly can sit down with the pricing and I can show you exactly where the deal would end up and how big of a discount it is.

I cannot believe a new boat package comes priced from a dealer without a battery and prop included. I would be completely humiliated as a businessperson if I had to even once tell a customer about this little optional extra at signing time. Talk about pouring a bucket of cold water on any feel-good factor that may be left when buying a new boat. If I were on the buyer side of that conversation I’d be telling you exactly which compartment you could stow your optional battery and prop in as I walked out the door.

Does the price include spark plugs and oil in the engine or is that a $500 add-on as well?

Riverrat09,
I am terribly sorry that you had a poor experience with our dealership. The last thing we want when we sell fun is for someone to not be happy with what they got, the service they received or not have it be what they were expecting. Please message me your name and information in private, I would really appreciate the opportunity to look into your deal and try to figure out what happened and how I can remedy the situation for you.

Grouse,
I appreciate your feedback. I maybe didn’t explain my statement earlier well. From the factory the boat doesn’t come with prop, battery or tiedowns. You can order the boat with retractable tiedowns for a fee. We agree with your sentiment, what a wet blanket to get a boat and find out after the fact that it doesn’t have power or prop! That is why we make sure that it is included in the price of the sale eventhough it doesn’t come from the factory with those. We know of other places that do this tactic, we don’t agree with it and consequently make sure that you have everything ready to go!

I had to ask to find out who this dealer is.

Looks like he explained the pricing well. I know that when I was shopping last winter there were a number of “must have” items missing on the “hidden” sticker price but the price that was listed on the boat had everything needed and more of the boats the FW and I looked at.

A dealership/sales person is just as important as the boat and for the price they are asking now a days, they better be. With any dealer, do your homework before purchasing.

sounds to me you as a salesman or saleswoman is that you should let your in house selling skills and word of mouth do your work and not something on this site! As you see your not getting a lot of good versus bad!! just saying! that’s why I buy slightly used

Sounds high. I bought a 2016 1775 impact with walk thru windshield, air ride seats,blue tooth stereo,on board charger,battery and prop, tie downs,and a few other things I don’t remember, in march 2016,for just over 25k.
