Why is this Mariner 4 over $100 more than the other Mariner 4 that is on Amazon?

I don't know of any difference. I still have mine and it is well made. The optional motor mount will not handle a heavy electric or an outboard of more than 3 HP. Buy the cheaper one, they're the same.

I paid 21.99 a couple of years ago here on Amazon. I love mine, and thought I might buy another for my vacation house - but not at 4x the price!

I noticed that. I think the normal price for this machine is $299 and amazon has it listed wrong. I bought it elsewhere on sale for $199 and the original price listed for it from that place was $299. Amazon has some great prices on machines but I don't think this is one of them.

The price seems to be the lowest when there are only a few(1-4)models left. I bought mine last week when Amazon only had three left and the price was about $80 dollars less than today. I have noticed this before that when they get a new shipment the price is $2000 and when only a few left it goes down to $1800.

I don't believe there is any difference. The cheaper price is probably due to the high sales volume Amazon generates for them.

I haven't checked the MSRP, but it's listed for around $320 here (though out of stock) and it's available for less than $300 elsewhere, so I think it's safe to take it as one of those Amazon random-before-discount-prices.

it doesn't normally cost anywhere close. It's $149.99 direct from buttkicker or $129 at other outlets. Those prices are for the version 2 which fixed an issue with the power amp overheating on the version 1 (this one makes no reference to version so one must assume he is selling the first version). Some goofballs price items this way so they can make people feel that they are getting a deal by posting the amazon link and then asking $300 or some funky number.

Great question. My guess? I'm pretty sure Amazon (even for Prime items) works through lots of different distributers. The one offering the single blade may be different than the one offering the double blade, hence the price difference. I could be wrong though.

I have a Mariner 4 inflatable and with 2 adults and gear I can go at 5 mph at high elevation (makes a big difference if you're at a sea level vs. 6,000 feet). It runs great, never had any mechanical issues. Great buy for the money!

There is no difference, just no amazon sellers offering a good price right now, I paid 349 on amazon for mine, be patient they will come back... good luck

HI I just went to home depot site and it is the same exact one for 439.00. I see that amazon has it now for one thousand eight hundred plus dollars which is absolutely ridiculous. I hope no one buys it for this price. At the time I paid 499.00. even that was high due to the fact that water gets in somehow from the back. Hope this helps.

I agree with Joe. What is the reason for Amazon to raise its price on 5800 Navigation from $249?

I have no idea, I went for the 25 because at the time I ordered it, it was $16 with free shipping. Looks like they raised the price to $19.99. The 25 works great for me, but if the 50 is a better deal then go for it.

Why not just purchase the Glorious Montana model for the Spirit? It is model number 7569 and is available on Amazon right now for $30.

Same here, man. It was $2544. It jumped to $2700 and then $2850. I want to get it soon, but I don't trust those other external sites with their weird return policies. Anyone else know a reputable dealer that sells it for Amazon's previous price?

I ordered it from Amazon on 4 Dec 10 (three weeks ago) for $260. I see it has been available for first $400 and now $290. I guess they won't ship it to me as long as they are getting orders at a higher price. Shame on Amazon - why did they advertise and take orders if their plan was to delay shipment in favor of newer orders? UPDATE (6 Jan 11): I actually ordered it for $235 (the balance was for the mount), and Amazon has just given me a delivery date. All is well with the world.
