How you LOOK also makes a big difference. If you want them fawning
all over you, dress like you own the place. If you want to be left
alone to take your time and look around without being hounded by
someone on commission, dress like you're ready to mow the lawn....(c;

What's great fun is to take someone with serious money and hot to buy
to a boat show dressed like you're going to mow the lawn. Been there,
done that....very entertaining......

The look on the salesman's face when you say, "We'll take it, now,
cash." ---------------Priceless

Also what kind of response do you normally get when the broker
learns you aren't buying anytime soon? Sorry for the newbee questions. JC

Always call. Otherwise they aren't there or can't find the keys. Buying a boat
can be a long process and most brokers know that. Some brokers will take a lot
of time to show you a boat, while others toss you a key and point to it.
Sometimes I'll look around the cabin and find the owners phone #. That allows
me to call him direct and get more details as well as sound for the price
envelope he has in mind. It's your money.
Have fun.
