I need to go through a dealer or pay cash for a boat. Buying used puts pretty harsh restraints on what I can buy. Unless someone wants to take payments or wants to trade for guns, I am in the new camp for now. Deals I am looking at used are stuff like blown motor boats, a 2010 that had its motor removed/stolen, whatever etc. Or 10+ year old boats that took major depreciation hits.

KINNICK,


First, please tell me where you work, because if you can pay cash for a boat I want to come work with you . LOL


And if all your finding in boats like that are blown, then your looking in the wrong place.


Let me know if you need help. I bet we can find you a boat by next week.

I could be wrong but I think he is trying to say he can only pay cash for an old broken down boat or finance a new boat.

I own a gun store. I would rather finance, but it would have to be through a dealer.

I was looking for blown motor boats with good hulls.

Right now I am looking, getting quotes, comparing boats, feeling out dealers. There are dealers I like that can't get what I want, there are some dealers that can get what I want that I don't want to do business with, at that point I will just order the thing from whoever and ship it in.

It blows my mind how boat dealerships work. I go into one and ask for a quote for XYZ boat with ABC motor and they tell me they can't order it with ABC motor because they are not a dealership for ABC motor. They can only order 123 motors on the packaged boats even though the manufacture offers ABC, 123 and *** motors with their boats.

Let me tell you why.


First, many boat company's now are owned by Yamaha. Believe it or not. So they come from the factory with the motor on it already because they get huge discounts for mass purchases of motors.


Second, the Louisiana Outboard distribution rules and zoning rules mandated by the Outboard manufacturers put a lock on how far apart dealers can be from each other. Hence this forces anyone who wants to be a boat dealer to choose a motor first, or a boat brand first and take whatever Zoning rules that come with it and accept the motor they are forced to sell.
