New Boat Markup Pricing

[Marque]

I came across this site during my recent search. It doesn't list either of the companies you were talking about but it may give you an idea of how extreme the mark up is. I have no idea if this info is legit so take it for what it is. I researched boats for 6 months and was headed towards buying new. In the end decided "slightly used" was the way to go. New boat prices are insane and list prices are with no options. Too many people buy new, install all the accessories, and upgrade after they have been in it a year. The guy who had the boat I just bought before me added 20K worth of options, I picked it up for 15K under sticker w/o options. It had 60 hours with transferrable warranty. I know that's not what you asked, just my .02. I would say 5k off a 35k boat would be a starting point but you will most likely get 2.5-3k during the winter. You may have better luck trying to work options in if you choose to go that route although most dealers pull your eyes out when it comes to installing accessories.
