Toytime,

Definitely do some more research. 4Winns are nice, but to be honest there are alot of nice boats in that size/price range. Look at used boat values on NADA and BUC so you can get an idea of how much depreciation the model you are looking at is subject to. Some brands of boats depreciate a lot more than others. Depreciation is a KILLER when it comes to boats.

Your best bet to get a good deal was at the boat show in february. As jrc stated, its spring and that is a popular boat size. If its your first boat, you might want to look into a low hour used boat with some warranty left. It might just be a better bang for the buck.

Don't forget to get your Safe Boater Certificate!
