Also, how did you arrive at the conclusion that the Mac dealers you
listed are "hucksters?" - I'm sure some are, and I'm sure some of them
exaggerate the capabilities of the Mac to their customers (as do some
dealers selling other boats), but running a Mac dealership doesn't seem
like the best "get rich scheme" to me. - It involves selling new boats
for around $27K equipped with motor and trailer; outfitting the boats;
providing instructions and demos, handling the gripes, questions, etc.-
It just doesn't cut it as an easy rip-off. My own experience is that one
can get anything installed that he wants to pay for.

Jim, if you had done any research at all you would have figured out that you
could "run a mac dealership" out of your garage. No one said it was "an easy
rip-off" though in some cases, based on the amount of optional equipment I
see on these used boats offered for sale at places like yachtworld, it
probably is. Dealers don't have to make exaggerated claims about the macs'
capabilities, the builder already does a nice job all by their lonesome. And
no, the average dealer probably won't get rich, but if they're a halfway
decent salesman (after all, after researching thee question, someone is
actually considering purchasing) you could probably make a decent income
selling these things.Change the word in your post from "mac" to "Yugo"
"boat" to "car", delete a few lines and you might get my point. Most car
dealers would salivate over the prospect of a buyer coming into their store
pre-sold AND with an eye to loading up their purchase with every available
option and then some, based on a quick perusal of the yachtworld ads, most
mac buyers do exactly this.
