A bow thruster is another tool to use but you should know how to dock your boat in most any conditions without one - the thruster will make it easier on some occasions.
Most sailboats I have seen with thrusters are in the 40' and up size. Smaller powerboats sometimes have thrusters.
I also agree with Tranona about the depth of the forefoot not suiting a thruster. You want the prop to be below the waterline a ways, not at the surface. As well they take up space inside and I doubt a Bav your size has much room for one.
And yes the salesman could well laugh when you leave.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
