Went with a friend to look at new boats today. I've never purchased from a dealership and was wondering if they typically are willing to wheel and deal a little or is the sticker price typically bottom line? There were a couple discounts applied to the pkg deal already. It was a Lowe aluminum bass boat that he was looking at.

DO"NT DO IT !!!

Always negotiate, new or pre-owned. But unless you just have to have a spanking new boat, shop for a good pre-owned. Have the boat, motor and trailer checked out by an independent marine shop. You'll save yourself a ton that you can spend on gear or guides.
