new boat discount

[medline]

has anybody bought new from a dealer, and is there a guide to discount that may or may not be expected with or with out trade in? i am thinking of a new merry fisher 585? any guides as to when best to purchase?
cheers

Without a trade-in. I'd expect a substantial discount on a Merry Fisher. Do a search on the various retailers. Also look at recent used boats, which often have lots of extra kit at knock-down prices.

RE. when best to purchase. I'd have thought late Autumn through to about February. Dealers may want to reduce their stocks before the next years boats arrive.
Worst time to buy - Easter.
All IMHO.
