Looking for a new boat

[motalot]

If he waits for the boat show he can make a deal with a dealer to get every accessory there is and let them display his boat at the show. I know of a guy that got a heck of a deal like that

When are the boat shows around Lexington or Louisville area? I would say he would even go to Cincy if needed.

If he cant wait I would go NOW as alot of dealers are sitting on 06 models that can be had cheaper since the 07's are out.

The Louisville Boat Show is around the last week of January...and I agree with what some of the other folks on here said, you can get some pretty decent deals at the boat shows sometimes...

i know every one has their favorite boat brand but your friend really needs to look at ride and drive as many brands as possible i bought a new 18'7" champion /yamaha 150in 04 and i am very pleased with ride and handling it rides better than any comparable boat i've been in

good luck

The perception is wait for the boat show, which is when manufacturers have a lot of incentives. But I can tell you first hand that the bills get a little harder to pay in the fall and winter for dealers like me. We will make better deals now than any other time of the year for 3 reasons:

1. Left-over units, we have over 40 right now!!
2. It's our slowest season and cashflow is everything to a business 3. The boat shows are our busiest time of the year and we can afford to turn down uglier deals then due to the number of boats we will sell anyways.

My advice would be to buy a leftover or a 2-5 year old boat if you are looking for the best deal.

Please give us a chance to earn your business, you won't be disapointed.
