Thanks for your comments I found very constructive.
The last boat I look at the price at $xx,xxx US reduced.
With a price tag marked as "reduced" can you still start you negotiation
at
3/4 of the reduced price.


You can start negotiation anywhere you want. The only downside is that if
you start at a price that the seller sees as completely ridiculous then he
might get ticked off or at least conclude that you are not a serious buyer.
The fact that the price was reduced means nothing - perhaps it was too high
to start with!
