Where to get prices for boats??
 

Is there anyplace on the web like a kbb.com but for boats??

Im trying to find out what the dealer pays for the boat vs what the
"sticker" is.

Thanks
Rob

The only way to find out is to be an invoice and look at it. Even
then, it's questionable with dealer sales rebates, promotions, floor
planning and everything else involved in pricing a boat.

=================================================

It's more or less irrelevant. The real question is what the dealer
is willing to sell the boat for. Make a low ball offer based on
typical one year old used boat prices and see if they are willing to
negotiate. Find out what the "boat show special" price was, and use
that as a negotiating lever. Use the one year old used boat price as
a lever. If the boat is in demand and the dealer is on allocation,
they may not budge an inch, and why should they? On the other hand if
things are slow and the builder is offering incentives to move
product, all things are possible. If all else fails, find another
dealer or look for a "like new" used boat.

try www.nada.com
there is a section for boats and a section for trailers.
it saved me tonight - a local marina is pitching me a tandem trailer for
$1875 - 1994 vintage.
nada says it's worth less than $1k.
