| Friend of my got what I believe was a very nice deal on a Crestliner last fall. After fishing with him a couple times a really liked the set up and made a few dealer inquires regarding 1850 Pro Tiller models. I see Lund lists a $47,000 MSRP on a similar boat but advertises a dealer price of $37,000. Pricing appears to be erratic to say the least. What is the typical margin on these aluminum boats. |

| You just have to go and deal face to face. If you want to price on-line & via e-mail you will never know what the bottom dollar is. MAP pricing is what they all use but the accessories & rigging is where you can make your better deals. Remember, a to good to be true deal from a dealer who is broke in 6 months does you no good. A good dealer to support your purchase is better IMO than the best price. |

| A good boat does not need dealer support IMO. Out of my two boats never had to go to the dealer for any repairs. |

| Sonar, trolling motor and other seemingly similar things can have drastic price changes to a boat, some dealers will sell sonars at cost on a boat to move the boat others want fair value and installation covered. Either way is fine, that is just one possibility |
