Sounds like maybe I'm in the minority here, but I'd try to find a good dealer as close as possible and not travel out of state. I've always felt service is better when you go back to the dealer in which your boat was purchased. What if you have warranty issues with the hull or motor? Are you going to run back to that out of state dealer? Or stay local for those services? Anyway, just another way to look at it I guess. If it were me, I'd get some quotes from other dealers and show those to the local dealer. You might be surprised by what they can do for you. Good luck, Lunds are great boats.
Not as far as I'm concerned after sale service is more important than a few bucks at purchase. If I have issues I don't want to drive 100 miles. If I was a local dealer and you brought in a boat for service that you had driven to save a few bucks your place in line would start behind boats I had sold.
I have bought my trucks from the same dealership for over 30 years it's family run they treat me well and I like the service. I have used the same marine dealership for an equal length of time for the same reasons. over the years I have sent them a lot of business, they know it and appreciate it . When i look for service my boat doesn't sit in the yard. Both are within 25 miles of home.
Some small town dealerships don't get the volume discounts of big city dealers but they can make it up in many other ways. They tend to have low staff turnover and you deal with the same sales and mechanics for many years.
