[QUOTE="Allen, post: 238484, member: 389"] The problem with buying boats is that you will have a difficult time comparing apples to apples. Boats come setup with different motors, electronics, seats, trailers, covers, etc. It all depends on what that dealership orders in the bells and whistles dept. There are an awful lot of those bells and whistles that people like me don't use, so I see no reason to pay for them. In that case you are on the right track with the ordering part so that should make it easier to compare apples to apples. Use the manufacturer's website to outfit your boat and then toss that specific order at a few different dealers to see who gets your business. I'm one of those that may be willing to spend a few hundred to a grand extra to buy a $40-60k boat locally, but if we are talking $2k, I can justify the drive. [/QUOTE]
