What % off MSRP did you get?...
With the rates being down so low now and lots of talk about buying new boats, and its a buyer's market etc. If you bought your boat new, what % did you get off the total MSRP?
EXAMPLE: MSRP was $150000 actual price paid was $112500.
112500/150000 = 0.75% with the difference being .25%

Okay bought a new 99 38 PQ and paid around $116000 and retail was around 194k-196k, not sure exactly. It was a new and current yr. boat that a dealer had. That would be about 40% off.

Rick, I couldnt find a used 95 for that price at the time. I guess buying a boat that is a few yrs. old, isnt always better. Makes you wonder what markup% really is? I guess I dont get to vote.

Man you guys are raising the bar here for cutting the good deals. 25-30% has been kicked around as being really the bar for the excellent buys new off the lot/ordered.
State what time of year you either purchased off the lot or ordered built from the factory? I beleive October-February are the prime months $$$ wise for ordering built...

I negotiated the deal for my boat in Oct-Nov timeframe and actually placed the order and wrote a deposit check in Jan and told them to take their time building it. The boat was delivered in May just in time for a full summer of boating. I ordered it directly through Shockwave Custom Boats, a custom builder located out this way.

29.56%, the boat had been used as a demo for the season, I bought it late August '97, 20 hrs on it. If you figure in the $10K too much they gave me for my trade (they lost that much when they sold it) it comes out to 36.86%.

Looks like the 25-30% crowd worked their dealers pretty hard. But I see only 19 out of 255 looks so far has rogered up their percentage. Must be a large number of used boat owners...
