It's crazy....I got a decent deal on mine. The dealer gave me $5000 more than any other dealer on my old pontoon boat. He flipped my old boat in a week and made $6K on the sale.

"Feels" like things are topping out. Although that doesn't mean a crash is around the corner. Maybe we flatline-ish for 3-5 years.....which wouldn't be the end of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last boat I bought was in 2005 (06 model) and we started negotiations at 35% off MSRP. Didn't end up far off it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this bad bitch has been great, still does 50 and starts first push of the button everytime, only downfall is it smokes like an old farm tractor that has a head gasket leak, but it does help the black flies down.
