Bayliner web sire says $9,995, but Olympic Boat centers say $12,875 out the door (tax and set up charge). Q: -how flexible are dealers with this $9,999 "M.S.R.P." business? How flexible are dealers in general ? I read an article about these boats a year or so ago - they are made in Mexico and are considered an "entry" level boat, but they do carry a certain markup for the manufacturer. What the dealer charges above and beyond the MSRP is his business. Strangely, the MSRP is usually a price above what the dealer will usually deal for - this is an interesting anomaly. Marine USA is selling that boat for $10,995 which is about what I would expect including dealer prep, delivery, etc. With tax in this state, registration, etc, about $11,500. Offer him $10,995. -what of the 2005 175 (3.0/A-1) in general? The Merc 3.0/A-1 has a pretty proven track record, right? Don't know, but it's the engine/boat combination you are getting for that price - no other options. It's a good entry level boat if that's what you are looking for. |
