Location: Elk River, Minnesota | When I purchased my last boat (October of 2004 for a 2005 model year) I shopped around for the best price on the rig itself over the phone. Then, I went to the dealer I purchased my old boat from, and asked them their price. They were about $1000 high and I stated where I found a lower deal. The sales lady went to the head person, came back and offered me a deal that was only $30 more than the other dealership. Same exact set-up...trailer and all. I figured, if they can get that close, and I know this dealership and who would be rigging my boat, it was worth it.
Cannot hurt to try... Do your homework over the phone as best you can, take the best deal to the dealer you feel most confident in, and see what happens. If they don't come close, you walk away.
