09' Yamaha 232 Limited S

[SpudRacer]

Anyone know where we can find an 09' Yamaha 232 Limited S for a decent price? All the Yamaha dealers in our area don't even have an 09 in stock, their showrooms are full of 08's that they can't sell. I doubt I can order one, then get a good price, but can't seem to find a dealer with one in stock. Will drive to get it, but the closer to NC, the better.

We just got back from Myrtle Beach, saw some 08' Jet boats, and that was good enough for me, I want one...

Found 2 on eBay, one was from a private seller in NY, stated he lost his job, boat still at dealer, wanted a check for $35,500, then wanted to hold the boat until the title transfer complete. Told him no way.
Other is in Minnisota, wants $39,500, but upset over the fine print (tacking on dealer prep fees) when the auction states the discounted price includes the dealer prep fees. (man I dislike salesman, especially ones who know less about a boat than I do).

Appreciate the help guys, never had a Jet Boat before, but quite stoked...

SpudRacer,
Did you ever find your 232? I am not sure which dealer you were working with on Ebay from Minnesota. My guess is it was River Valley in Red Wing or Rochester. Did you ever call the dealer directly. Sometimes the internet postings do not represent the sentiments of the sales person. I was at the Red Wing dealer earlier in the spring and they had both the '09 and some '08's left over, and were willing to throw in just about everything to get me to buy a boat, yet we couldn't get a trade in deal done. The 232 Limited is a fantastic boat (my favorite option is the shower in the back and the massive amounts of storage, even though it does not have a sleeper or bunk)! I own a '99 Yamaha and love the power and fit & finish of the Yamaha over any other Jet Boat. Are you set on the Limited? I know these two dealers in MN have plenty of other '08's that they are cutting to close in the AR and SX series of 21 and 23footers.
