Non-current Discounts of MSRP

Keep in mind custom orders need to be transported, so if dealers don't have other orders to fill out the load (my dealer said they come in batches of 4 or 5) , these costs can't be spread out. I've even heard some boat manufacturers force their dealers to carry inventory so they then try to get customers to buy whats on the floor.
That makes sense, too. I think when a dealer has boats on order, both pre-sold and stock, pre-sold boats can be put onto the transport truck where a stock boat would have been, in order to fill that pre-sold order. I could be wrong, but it seems like that could be a possibility.
 
I just bought a Bennington I found on line. 2025 24LXSSB with a 250 Yamaha SHO. MSRP was $139,000, sale price was $112,000. He gave it to me for 102k delivered to me. Delivery was $2400.
Nice! Be sure and post some pictures.
 
It has been a productive morning! Stumbled across a dealer in my region that offered me a great all-in, out the door price on a custom order SL22 with Sea Legs and trailer. I placed the order and now we wait for mid-May delivery. Can’t wait to join the Bennington family!

If "we" ask, what did you get for your 2014?

My local dealer didn't have the boat I wanted, I hated not using him. I still have my 2014 and a couple people have already told me they want it so I will sell locally. If not, I would've traded it in just to make things simpler.
 
In July last year I found a new 2023 20SVL, yeah, I know, the lower end of Bennington it had a 90hp on it which is what caught my attention, dealer said Bennington asked the to take 40 of them and they would help with " under the line" rebates, he wanted $33k, after much haggling,, and driving off the lot, ee agreed on $29k for the boat and $2500 for a 2024 magic Tilt aluminum trailer, which is import down here in the salt water, when I was researching msrp it looked like $44k plus trailer. When we picked it up Yamaha announced the day prior they were adding an additional 2 yrs to the warranty. Which was icing on the cake, we have 35 hours on it now, and look forward to every weekend so we can be out in the bays and intercoastal waters down here, not sure if that's considered a good deal, however, it was good for us, being just me and the wife of course.
