Hey guys,
Talked to a dealer Monday about a tracker Grizzly 1648 MVX that I decided on. Said he'd get me full quote. Received it today and it said that they don't have the MVX as of now (which I knew because I was just there) but they'll be getting an AWL shortly snd he could hold with a deposit. I saw on the quote sheet that the price was exactly the same. I did quick search on my phone and couldn't find much info on AWL as its not on tracker website. Everything else I saw made it seem like it's an old model. I emailed back and asked what's the difference between AWL and MVX. His reply was "There is no difference. Grizzlies are all built the same, welded hulls. Only boats that are riveted are the jon boats that sell as Toppers."
Pretty vague. Still don't have access to computer but a further search shower AWLs are over 200lb lighter. So now there is a difference. The only pricing I can find on them are 2009 and earlier for $2100-$2600. I was quoted the MVX price of $2999.
I'm very leery now. Does anyone know about these models? I haven't written back yet but I'm seriously considering going to next closest dealer....54 miles away, if it turns out this guy is intentionally being dishonest. It seems I should be able to order an MVX and if I had to settle for an AWL, it should be cheaper and I should be told the differences. It's a basspro shops too if that matters. Thanks for any input. I'm a rookie so not sure of anything
