Hi - In my endeavour to find a boat and having asked many questions (which will never end) 1 question I have to ask is
As I am totally new to the boating world and as a brit not so good on the bartering front - what would be a starting point for negotiating a price on a boat ? I know condition of the vessel etc would obviously play a part in this - but is there some degree of bartering that can be done ? - I am sure someone on here has said before that 20% lower than the asking price is a place to start - but I will point out I wouldn't want to offend/insult the seller/broker with my naivety either.
All opinions welcomed
