I've been looking at several hard top aluminum boats:
Hewescraft Ocean Pro 220
Duckworth Pacific Pro 22
NorthRiver Sea Hawk 22
Alumaweld Intruder 22
and more
One odd thing I noticed among aluminum boats is that, nobody publish their MSRP and/or option price list. If not for one dealer publishing a real price on a single 24' left over, I wouldn't even know they are in my price range.
Based on what I read over various forum, I was expecting the Duckworth to be the most expensive, followed by North River, Hewescraft and Alumaweld. But the quote I got are totally the other way around, with the Duckworth several thousands $$$ less than the others.
So I tried to use Nada guide to find base MSRP for the Hewescraft Ocean Pro 220 ET HT. It isn't perfect, but the number I calculated using Nada is significantly lower than the "best price of the year" quote, which is supposed to be $10k off the MSRP. Are they just BS'ing me, or is the Nada MSRP totally off?
Anyway, the point is, I'd like to shoot for 20%-30% off MSRP. But without knowing the starting point, I feel completely in the dark in this negotiation. (it doesn't help that I'm not a good negotiator...)
