Helen Keller would love it

iShredSAN 06-16-2014 7:58 AM

Only $132k??? That's a steal for such a beautiful boat :D

dyost 06-16-2014 8:07 AM

Just awful, inside and out

FastR3DN3K 06-16-2014 8:45 AM

It looks like a bag of Skittles puked on that boat. LITERALLY the worst looking MC I've ever seen.

tyler97217 06-16-2014 8:52 AM

Looks like Skittles and Reeses went in on a joint venture. Skittles got to design the outside and Reeses got the inside. Whoever order that boat has some very large balls....

hatepain 06-16-2014 8:56 AM

Someone let their 5 year old design their boat. Fugly!!

timmyb 06-16-2014 11:12 AM

Isn't that the guy who picked a color off of every one of his exotic cars'? I remember seeing that somewhere. He has like Lambo's and Ferrari's in those colors.

What's the over under on selling price for this Piece!!!! I say $75,000

surffresh 06-16-2014 2:51 PM

If I'm not mistaken, the Charlotte dealer ordered and sold 2 of them…..or maybe it was a X45 and then the same guy ordered a 46 and they sold the 45, I forget but I think 2 of them are out there

jfergus7 06-16-2014 3:11 PM

That is just terrible. Can't imagine anyone liking that.

boardman74 06-16-2014 3:58 PM

Thats is one of the ugliest boats I have seen.

phathom 06-16-2014 3:58 PM

I don't think it's horrible. All the reactions on here made me think it was much worse. It's personally not my cup of tea, but there is definitely a market, however small, of people who will like that color scheme. It's not really offensive, just odd. It's like those VW Harlequin Golfs they made with each panel painted a different color. They aren't for everybody, but the people who like them tend to love them.

wallis_tho 06-17-2014 5:12 AM

I personally like it a lot, I just think that it appeals to the younger riders more than the older, I think its overpriced and think he'll struggle to sell it at $132k IMO

drnate 06-17-2014 6:23 AM

If you can afford a $132K boat, you can afford a $3K wrap. Wrap that ugly thing and go have some fun!

Or Is very color blind.

Hyperryd 06-17-2014 3:09 PM

The problem with gaudy paint jobs isn't whether somebody else like them or not, it is whether the small number of people that do like them have $132k to spend on a boat. The demographics are horrible to say the least. It is hard enough to find someone to spend that much on a boat, harder still to spend that much on a used boat and now it has to be someone who can afford that much for a used boat and also is optically challenged! Mabe P. Diddy needs a boat..

You are going to be given two options.

Option 1 - Get that X-Star for free, must use it, no tax liability. Cannot wrap it or plasti dip. Yours to use for 10 years
Option 2 - Get your pick of any 40k or less boat on the market. Yours to use for 10 years.

cannot sell, this is your boat.

phathom 06-18-2014 11:20 AM

Option 1. Would totally rock that for free. I would probably add tons of lights and speakers and make it even more over the top ridiculous.

tyler97217 06-18-2014 11:58 AM

Great poll!!!!
Option 2

fence_sence 06-18-2014 2:38 PM

Absolutely atrocious. I'm all about freedom of choice but, if that was somebody's choice, they've got a screw loose. There is a Z3 running around here that is just about as ugly.

Option 2 for me. You could put together a kickass old boat for 40k and not have to look at that clown puke for ten years.

crosenhahn 06-18-2014 2:48 PM

Option 1 - I would only wear plaid shirts too while on the boat. Embrace the style!!!

andy_nintzel 06-18-2014 2:59 PM

WOW that is fugly!

Jmaxymek 06-18-2014 10:49 PM

Every Stars and Stripes owner will have a heart attack at the sight of that boat. Agreed with the above though, there is a market for that boat. Not a sane market, but a market nonetheless.

nitrousbird 06-19-2014 6:24 AM

If you think that looks good, you have no taste. That's fact, not opinion.

How much is a new loaded up X46 with a mid-optioned trailer selling for (not MSRP, but actually selling for)? That seems pretty pricey for a nearly year old, 30 hour X46 - I'd think you could order up a brand new one for similar/same money and have it look however you wanted.

If the dealer is really working an average/good discount, that boat should go 120-125k new.

It's his old boat... Represent!

I'd take option 1 but with on caveat. I get to put "Don't laugh its paid for" across the back :)

jrz1 06-23-2014 3:48 AM

We drive by that boat every time we're going to/coming from our lake house. We call it the Jamaican boat. I actually like the way it looks sitting up on the trailer but would never buy a boat with colors so controversial. I have a Nautique but MC does allow for some cool color combos. They have some very good looking (more traditional) looking boats at that dealer.
