I'm interested in buying a family and salt water friendly boat and the Scout Dorado seems to fit the bill. I can't not seem to find used anywhere and the ones that are used (200+ miles away) are 4-6 years and not priced competitively with just buying new.
I take this as a good sign...no inventory = boats a keeper.
I've kicked the tires on pricing and $31k is the number I am at for a bare bones 115hp model. Per seedealercost.com, inventory pricing is about $25k. I'm sold at $25k but I didn't know how realistic that number is of obtaining. Will dealers sell boats for a profit of only a few hundred dollars? Is the website accurate?
I don't know if I should just tell the dealer that $25k is my limit or negotiate differently. I may be interested in other boats they offer and don't want to get into a situation where they find I am being too difficult and don't want to bother with the tough negotiations.
Any opinions, thoughts, help?
