Thread: New boat

A lot of it is dependent on what type of boat. I personally haven't seen a big difference between the 2.
A lot of your best deals are when they want to get rid of their stock to make room for the next year model, but even then its not a substantial markdown.

Some dealers have a special at boat shows. I got a heck of a deal on mine at a show, but that was what the dealer was willing to do.

Shop around but know what you want before you buy one! Cabela's has a trade in program. Just beware and think everything through!

what are you thinking of buying?

I used to be a dealer "years ago". Back then there was a big incentive to sell at the show. Sometimes the manufacturers will work with the dealers on pricing at the show. Most of the shows are in the winter time as well.....another good reason for the dealer to be aggressive. As Dawgg said "know what you want and be sure". Know what you want an go for it! Good luck and tight lines

i like the Alumacraft MV 1756 SC it looks like a nice boat for river and creeks, and runs across large water to get to them. Do you have other suggestions I could look at?

Don't buy a boat that isn't exactly what you want just because the price is a good deal
