Is there a written process to new boat buying that someone may have on thier
website?

I have narrowed my new boat choice to 3 or 4 brands.
I've checked out some of them at a boat show and will be attending another
before I'll be going to the Dealer's locations.

How much time will I want to spend at each dealer before I decide on the
boat?
Once I decide on a boat, do I get a test drive in a demo?
It the boat is not on location and it needs to be ordered, how much of a
deposit to expect?
How long are factory lead times typically on a 21-23' cuddy?
Do I need a surveyer for a new boat?

Serious replys only please

Thanks in advance!
