It was discussed probably 6 years ago when the X1 came out how there isn't profit in small boat building.

I say wood scmood, when's the last time you heard about a 2001 breaking in half on a double up?

No profit on small boat building? The original X-Star, then X-2, and then X-1 didn't make a profit. They just discontinued the model.
Idk how much a new X1 cost, but that doesn't really hold any water in this conversation. Your talking apples vs. oranges. You couldn't come close to even a year old MC for 30K. No matter what model.
Who else makes a new, wake specific boat, for under 40K even? There is a definite market. I bet if the same hull came back on the market, the resale value of your 2001 would decrease substantially, knowing now you could get the same proven wake hull with brand new equipment (and a possible warranty).
