Default Urgent ! How much do people pay below MSRP ?

How can you possibly be choosing between a Tayana and a Beneteau? The
automibile equivalent is, do you want to buy a mini-van or a sports
car? You need to figure out what you are really going to do with the
boat. Buy the Tayana if you're really going offshore cruising. It will
probably have all the equipment you need, is built extremely well, but
will be slower in light air. It's made to be able to withstand a good
blow. Buy a Bendy Toy if you're going to get into racing and do local
cruising. The Beneteau will be way better in light air, more
responsive steering, and generally go faster. (Less motoring during
light air days).

There are tons of used fiberglass boats, you are in the driver's seat.
Don't let any broker tell you that you need to make an offer or you
could "Lose the boat "

I have worked in a yachtbrokerage, so believe me, there are more boats
for sale than there are buyers. Now I work in yacht insurance. BucBook
is the guide that lists replacment cost (new) & used prices for modern
production vessels.
