New Powerboat Purchase - Help

skisox24 · 03-18-2008, 07:13 PM

OK, I know its not financially wise to buy new. However, I am at the age where I would prefer to pay for warranty work than unknown or hidden damage. I will take the first year depreciation hit.

Never bought new before. What is a reasonable price vis-a-vis dealer cost for a new boat in today's economic environment? If I were buying an auto, I would definitely be holding out for well below dealer cost. Does it work the same in the marine world?

Any thoughts or help appreciated.
