I thought the seat mounts were different on the '12's versus the '11's and older models. I was hoping for discounted prices on 2011 models when the '12's came out, but not at my dealer.
That could be. But there are no "significant" changes to the Oasis that would require a major price increase. Any price increase would have more to do with the cost of materials, labour etc, going up, not new features.

I don't think we're talking about price increases as much as we're talking about the absence of a discount for prior year boats. I believe the primary changes between 2011 and 2012 were the addition of the extra guide pin on the drive unit and the new seat mount mechanism. I haven't heard of any changes at all between 2012 and 2013 boats, so I would guess there's nothing too significant.
In 2012, I wouldn't have bought a 2011 boat if I could get a 2012 for the same price. Right now, I'm not sure there's any functional reason why a customer would care if their boat had a 2012 or 2013 serial number on it.
Of course, some models may have some changes and I am mostly familiar with the specs for the Revolution when I am talking about a lack of differences.
