thanks in advance,

Did you get a hard-on bragging about this? Did this statement make
your small penis seem bigger?
Rich ****s like you that spend a quarter million on a boat, make me
sick.Help the poor asswipe....then MAYBE you'll be rewarded after
death. Actually, I hope the ****er sinks as soon as you cast off!
Your probably another ****stain who hides money offshore so he wont
have to pay tax on it, aren't you?
Another economy raping CEO probably.

When he drops that money on a boat, it keeps people who do fiberglass
hull layups employed. Same for people wiring a helm or installing a
boat motor. Or the people sewing the vinyl and fabrics to go on the
boat's furniture. Or the person taking calls in the boat maker's
customer service department. And, in turn, all the companies who
supplied all those materials to the boat maker can keep on making
their stuff...

If you hate people you don't know for the things they have, things you
don't have, that's all about you, not them.

To the original poster: If it's a buyers market and the dealer has
been sitting on the boat for a long time, you might offer 5 or 10%
over their cost, and they'll be happy to have it. If it's a sellers
market and the boat is either just in, or you are going to order it,
expect to be closer to the MSRP. But there should still be room to
negotiate down from there. Since this is a "want" item, rather than a
need item, be prepared to have a couple of alternatives, if you are
interested in getting more value for your dollar. Being able to say
no is the best negotiating tool in your arsenal.
