According to Frank Vander Horst of Maximo Marine, a dealer in St. Petersburg, FL., the best prices ​are not found at boat shows. On the contrary, if a buyer is looking for the best deal, he encourages them to visit him at his dealership. The reason is, most dealers, Frank included, pay tens of thousands of dollars just for the space to show their boats. This doesn't include the transportation costs, not to mention the headache of hauling boats back and forth. The dealers have to recoup their costs somehow, so it gets passed on to boat show consumers. more

Conventional boat buying wisdom dictates that the best deals can be found at boat shows, right? After all, the boats are there for the taking and all the prices are slashed to rock bottom prices. While it may seem that buying a boat at a boat show is better than buying from a dealer, in this instance, conventional wisdom does not hold true.

One exception to this rule may be the last day of the boat show. Some good boat show tips include waiting until the last day of the boat show to make an offer. A few boat buyers say that dealers are more anxious to sell, and are therefore more willing to cut prices. This tactic may pay off most if you have done your boat show homework ahead of time, and know what is a really good price to offer a dealer.

Other boat buyers suggest writing down boat show prices and later visit the dealer. They may be able to take a lesser price than at the boat show because they aren't attempting to recoup the cost. Certainly, the dealers I came across always prefer to have customers visit their boat dealership because they can build a relationship with them and cater to their specific needs. In the long haul, this may pay the biggest dividend when considering the total cost of owning a boat.

We’ll use a Grady White Freedom 275 as a sample boat. It’s a popular 27-foot dual console boat set up for single or twin outboards. A NADA Guides search yields an initial page showing the boat’s basic specs.

Finally, you’ll be asked to choose the size of the motor(s) and whether or not the boat comes with a trailer. Then click on “submit,” and the next screen will give you the information you’ve been searching for: the boat’s NADA book value, split out into suggested list price, low retail value, and average retail value. more

You now have the blue book range for the foundation of your pricing decisions. Remember that both sellers and buyers have access to exactly the same information, and will certainly use it to assess the field before anyone makes any offers. There may be good reasons for pricing your boat well outside the range, either high or low, but you should state those reasons right in your listing specs, because you’ll be trying to appeal to potential buyers who have done their homework. here
