Im trying to find out what the dealer pays for the boat vs what the
"sticker" is.

=================================================

It's more or less irrelevant. The real question is what the dealer
is willing to sell the boat for. Make a low ball offer based on
typical one year old used boat prices and see if they are willing to
negotiate. Find out what the "boat show special" price was, and use
that as a negotiating lever. Use the one year old used boat price as
a lever. If the boat is in demand and the dealer is on allocation,
they may not budge an inch, and why should they? On the other hand if
things are slow and the builder is offering incentives to move
product, all things are possible. If all else fails, find another
dealer or look for a "like new" used boat.
