I have a cash deal for this guy on the 19xs triton along with a trade with a potential buyer in place for $2000 more than trade... deal done right... NOPE.. owner of marina calls me and tells me his guy messed up the numbers... that the list price of the boat is as low as it will go and that they have another potential buyer but were trying to figure out his credit... UNREAL. I have a check in hand and they are checking some other guys credit... plus I told them I would buy some gear and a new graph with the boat... and they try to play the "another buyer" deal... unreal... I have bought a couple boats around my way and for some reason these guys always tell everyone that the price shown is the lowest it can go... and what is even more amazing is they get away with it with most buyers... and customer service... none... you would think I was selling the boat and they were buying...

unreal...

so I called a guy a couple cities away... bigger triton...new... 2010...250 merc...only a couple grand more than the smaller 19xs... plus the guy was nice...said thanks... and genuinely seemed to appreciate my business... For all you guys buying boats... stick to your guns... if you think your being taking for a ride, you probably are... remember you are the one spending the money not them.. I cant believe I actually felt guilty for offering lower than list... never again.. lots of good sellers out there with some being on this forum... what is even worse if you knew who ran the marina I was dealing with you would be shocked...

Well there are certainly dealers out there that could care less, they just try and get you in the door and bend you over. Theres one here and I will never deal with them because they have the same attitude as you described. Ive always been told everything is negotiable and Cash Talks. Something your dealer cant understand. Id literally tell them where to go and keep looking as someone has mentioned there are alot of 20X boats out there and a few in that price range, look for a leftover 11 or a demo 11 yr model 20X or maybe even 21x...

And for 39K you need to look at that one owner 2011 Legend Alpha 211 from an Individual(not dealer) loaded out down in nashville. Its even got the SHO on it. crazy to pass that up for a Ranger... sorry Rodney.
