Re: First time boat buyer.
Harris is a top line boat, and one of my favorite 4 brands. (I have a new Bennington.) I've noticed that Harris dealers are sworn not to every advertise any prices online. That makes it a little difficult to get a handle on what prices the boats are.
I would always suggest you contact the nearest dealership to you about ordering a boat. Spec. it out like you want it--no more options, no less options than you need for your current and future needs. Tell them you want their bottom line price, simply put, including a tandem axle trailer. Note that the dealer won't have any carrying costs or floorplanning charges on a special ordered boat.
If you're going to order a 115 hp motor, get a 4 stroke. And whatever you do, order lifting strakes on the hull for improved fuel mileage and 5 mph more speed. It really adds up to the boat being much more seaworthy for a little more price.
And while they're pricing the boat, find out how much more a tri hull will cost with 150 hp. If a Merc., go for the new 150 Fourstroke. I personally prefer the tried and true Yamaha F150--standard of the industry. And make sure the boat's spec'd out with the factory running all the electrical connections and cables for your brand of engine--to minimize the dealer's setup time.
Remember that dealers can acquire outboard engines thru the boat manufacturers substantially cheaper than they can get them from the factory direct--and can pass on part of the savings to you.
When you have all your local dealers' numbers, then go to the internet on Boattraders.com--looking for other Harris dealers that are willing to "deal" with you on price. Sometimes it pays a lot to drive a little. Sometimes it doesn't. Anyway it goes, only calling other Harris dealers will you get a relativity on the cost of that brand.
My last tip is to not get hung up on one brand. If you have a Bennington, Manitou, Premier, Cypress Cay or Tahoe/Avalon dealer close to you, they're very comparable to Harris--better in some regards, and lesser in others. Price them out also. They all have different price level boat lines, with the quality of upholstery being the biggest differences. And don't let emotions get involved in your search.
