dealer retail price list typically negotiable?

I'm going to buy a boat and I have a current manufacturer's price list that I got from the dealer. Do I pay full price for the hull and each option?

Re: dealer retail price list typically negotiable?

No, negotiate. If you can wait a bit, they often have "boat show specials" and such that include a bunch of popular options. Purchase at the end of the summer or in the middle of the winter, and they are more willing to deal. Watch out for high-priced dealer options that you can purchase cheaper elsewhere and either install yourself or pay someone else to install.
