I don't know where you are located, I am in KY. Lots of 08 and 09 Bentleys in 'Boat Trader' . You can use my zip in the dealer locate (40330).

Good luck-Fred

Went to the Mid Atlantic boat show , not a Bently to be found or dealer?

Think it may be reverting back to the previous owner. Not sure if it was in the contract, that the old owner would take it back if the new owner couldn't make a go of it or what. Sales are slow in toons like everything else.

another argument for buying a used toon, no guarantee that the
warranty's going to be honored anyway.

I went to the Raleigh,NC boat show last weekend and the word was that Bentley had permanently shut the doors on their manufacturing facility down in Columbia,SC. The local Bentley dealer was blowing out his remaining inventory at or below dealer cost.

Are you from NC too ?

FloterBoter · #13 Post by **FloterBoter** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 8:18 pm

would that dealer have the boats on consignment or did he prepay for all of them?
i ask because i wouldn't pay dealer cost--even the dealer cost includes money to
cover the warranty, which no longer exists. you're essentially buying a used boat,
any problems are yours. they say when you tow a new boat off the lot it loses
20% to 30% of its value, so i would figure that in on these.

Badmoonrising,

You are close but I'm from Clarksville,Va. Why do you ask?

Floteboater,

I don't know the details on how the boats were purchased. The dealer was Chatlee of Sandford,NC.
