I have a new 240 SD ordered from a multiple location dealer. When I was looking, the sales manager made a big deal about the bow cushion being a standard item on ALL of the boats he orders. Well, the boat came in, without a bow cushion, and none is listed on the window sticker. He says "Sorry, turns out this one didn't come with it. However, I can get you one that is normally $1400 but you can have it for $915 which is my cost".
Questions...1st, does anybody use theirs, making this a worthless argument? 2nd, can you buy it somewhere other than the dealer? Third, is this really the price of these things? And if the answer to three is "Yes", the follow up question is...what the (*&(*& are they made of?
Thanks in advance.
PS...similar story about the rear stereo controls, but I can get one from Ebay for $125 or so and install it myself, so it isn't worth the argument. I otherwise like the boat and love the deal.
