No......It can't be true......AC2717 is telling us there is an honest marine dealer? Clearly he was deceived. Just teasing,Maxum.
Actually I use the same tactics when shopping for vehicles and all of the advice that you offered is very good for anyone shopping for a boat.
Where I disagree with you is on your condemnation of all marine dealers in the lakes region.I know many of them and know they wouldn't allow sales people to do the things you described.
As for being a "guilty salesman"............no,sorry,I'm a guilty restauratuer,but I'm not telling you where.I can only imagine what you'd put waitstaff through.
I can hear you now....."$18.95 for a steak?....I don't think so...I'll give you $14 bucks and not a penny more." "Is it really choice or is it select and you're lying to me....was it fed on grain or grass? Is your scale calibrated? how do I know its really 16 ounces?.....etc etc
