Limited Edition Nautiques Wakeboard and Slalom Ski

[AirTool]

A little off topic...but consistent with the winter show theme. Yesterday I received two emails from Skier's Choice. One for Supra and one for Moomba. It was an email for their factory incentives for the winter boat show. It is actually less value than they had at the Houston winter show last January. This summer they offered me nothing. I actually went to the summer show to buy one if I could get the January deal. I had a print out of my options from the website. The factory was offering nothing and the dealer was offering 1000 off MSRP. I told them I wanted something closer to the winter show deal and the factory guy said something like "no way....a full price Moomba is still ten grand less than any boat in this show." He remembered me from the winter show....I told him "Well, I'll have to buy a resale or demo boat...I'm not paying full price for a Moomba" and walked away. He might have crapped his pants.

Well 2 months later I bought a 16-month-old Nautique. Now....when I tell people we bought a ski boat, they say "whadya buy? Nautique?" (I know they are waiting for the big NO.) I get to say, "Yea, Nautique."

i am certainly not good enough to ride a skurfer rage to its fullest potential, let alone a re-branded hyperlite state. likewise, i cannot and probably will never be able to huck a moomba wake any better than a nautique wake. whats my point? i didnt buy my 220 because i thought it would make me any better, i bought it because i thought it was the best boat availabe. the promotion seems kind of gimmicky---i would rather your gave me a free or reduced price boat cover and let ME CHOOSE AND BUY which board fits me rather than persuading me with a board that you think will do... somebody whom can afford a $60k boat is not talked into springing for it because a $250 board is being tossed in for free...

True that...

The wakeboards and skis are a part of a bigger incentive plan being offered by Correct Craft during the boat shows. On top of the skis and wakeboards, they're also offering a $2,000.00 incentive on any new '08. Click here for the full details.

i stand corrected, i underestimated the value of a Hyperlite state:

You will ALSO receive a Limited Edition Nautique branded HO Burner slalom ski with bindings,* or a Hyperlite State wakeboard with bindings,* FREE!
(A $795 RETAIL VALUE!)

how about i take that $795 and buy two hyperlite state packages for $299 each, let me pocket the extra $197 (free shipping and no tax from wakeside).

or better yet just give me $795 cash and let me buy something top of the line to go with my top of the line boat, hahaha! it could be just my opinion (or maybe i am one of the rare, educated consumers), but it is an insult to tempt me with crap to lure me into luxury and performance...its counter-intuitive to the whole image that Nautique wants build...

Can anybody verify what boards they have been getting? Is it a state? Does it come with bindings? If so what are the bindings?

I tried to get one of those skis when I purchased my new 2007 216....but, it's got to be a 2008 boat. I didn't beg, but it might have worked.

What bindings are they putting on it?
