New to boating. Interested in getting an SLX 250 new. Covid and civil unrest have changed the way I view my free time during the summer.
The above boat fits our needs and I've already taken the safety courses as well as watched lots of videos (BoatUS is great). I plan on getting some professional instruction; but, again the pandemic has made that hard. I have friends who have offered to train me on their boats.
I want to buy the boat next winter, possibly order a new one, and start using it next spring. I plan on rack storing it at a local chain of lakes.
My questions are about buying a boat. I've bought a lot of sports cars and the discounts vary greatly. I know these are loaded questions.
What is a reasonable discount to expect on a new $150-160K MSRP boat?
What is a reasonable discount to expect on the same price custom-ordered boat? I can choose from 2-3 dealers in the 200 mile range. I'd rather go with the dealer closest to where I will use the boat.
I hope it's not the same with sports cars where ordering directly from Germany gets you a pretty slim discount..
