If it's not I may have to make a few orders myself!

dang! they just change their price fron $199 to $600 in less than 24 hrs.

That was a very short time special that tower made.

NIB Rio 51 (not a Scratch & Dent) for $199 bucks and if you had a discount code, well even better.

I tought it was a mistake but Grim confirmed otherwise.

Was the $199 boat a scratch and dent - the $599 boat is not showing up as a scratch and dent. For $599 it is a great price - any less and it is a really great price. $199 and they are giving them away (I would buy a truck load at that price ).

garho08

yeah , it was in the cabin sale (not on the scratch and dent) this morning. i couldn't believed it myself also i thought it was a mistake. just a moment ago i had a confirmation from th and it was really for $199.99 and i got another $35 off all in all i paid $165 shipped. i wish bought 2, oh well.. lucky me

engineerjoe

I just got mine today. I paid $185 as I am not a tower member and had to pay shipping. Can't wait until this spring to try it out. I was planning on buying an SV27 Tuesday morning before I found the marked down RIO. Seemed like a no brainer.

What tha.........?? How would I have known?? I can't believe my BAD luck! Did they advertise this sale?? Are they going to have it again??

Discontinued eh? I guess no more Rio 51? What is going to replace it? Any rumors?

I don't think they are going to do it again. I did not find it advertised anywhere, I just happened to be searching through boats Tuesday morning to find a boat for $300 or less. A large scale gas boat wasn't something I even considered as they were all way out of my price range but I looked anyway and lucked out.

twindaddy66

Thats a good deal. I've been researching big gassers for over a month now...the Rio was one of my choices.....not any more I guess. It would have been nice to know they were going to can it...and put them on sale...I know last week they dropped the price to 599....I see nothing on the Aquacraft site about it...

garho08

so, lucky me then! NIB $165 shipped woot woot!

jologs

the woot - woot guy told me about the news. woot, woot, mine will be arriving on march 5. Aquacraft Rio 51 woot woot woot!!!

Dreamin Hemi
