New boat for 15M?

Question

With the economy the way it is, are dealers and builders giving discounts on small runabouts?

Answer 1

In the fall and winter is the best time to buy a boat new or used.

Dealers may have some carry over stock from last years production. New boats are like cars  as they bring new models in late summer and fall.

If you have a boat show near you this winter that is a good time to not only shop but buy a boat. Usually they are discounted or extras are thrown in like covers, stereo upgrades and such.

Answer 2

This time of year is boat show season, now til spring depending on where you are.  A lot of good deals at the shows,  better deals up north now as the season winds down.
