Welcome to the site.

It totally depends on the circumstances around a particular boat. If the dealer has been unable to sell it for sometime you will get a better deal for example. There are plenty of 2007 leftovers to be found. I have seen close to 20% below MSRP this year.

Check with the dealer in Oregon--- he seems to be undercutting everybody elses price. :?

I wonder who that is? I live in Oregon and based on the boatshow prices this year I wouldn't call any of them a "bargain" but there must be something going on that I don't know about.
 
Thanks Captain Matt.
I'm in the market for a new boat and I am considering a 25' c-dory. I have a hand me down boat from my father but need to upgrade. I'm not used to boat buying, and while looking around, I have found boats to be expensive. I need a pilothouse boat and I think the 25 will fit the bill. I have more questions and will post them.

I don't think I would expect to pay 20% under msrp. At least not on the west coast. I understand the east coast might has a whole different boating market though. Also there's a recent thread on this very topic with some very helpful responses.
 
Contact the various dealers and ask. I am doubt that you will really get 20% under sticker--also remember the trailer, the extras, the taxes etc.
Often a good used boat is a better buy. Most of the 25's will have 4 strokes and they often come up for sale.
 
I was specifically thinking of the leftover 2007 Tomcat offered with trailer for $99G just a few weeks ago. If my arithmetic is correct that is close to 20% below MSRP.
 
My understanding is that all of the C Dory boats are sold to dealers at the same "price"--with perhaps some factory rebates or promotions. Each boat will differ depending on what is on the boat. I would want to know if the $99K boat was fully out the door, but if there were other charges tacked on? (Transport, rigging, etc) Was the boat run as a demo? --plus it could be almost 2 years old (I believe that the 2007 series began in June or July 2006)--I took the question to be that of a new boat and discount from the factory sticker price. RV's can definately be gotten at 25% discount today (depends on model)--I just have not seen C Dories discounted this much. But as noted a week ago--if the market it tight--the boats have to be moved and flooring costs covered.

The basic boat is listed at $79,362 today. When I purchased my boat it was listed at $69,660 base price. I would assume that the 2007 boat would be half way between the two. 2008, 150 Suzuki's rigged run a min. of 20K

One has to look at boats which are simiilarly equipt: extras include Wallas stove; $2713, Windlass; $1567, Head overboard macerator; $527, Norcold Refig: $1120, Washdown system; $533. So a fully loaded boat, without trailer and motor would be $85,822. No trailer, no engines--The trailers can vary by several thousand between models. The engines also are a variable price. I would say that a pair of 2008 150 Suzuki's rigged would be a decent buy at $18,000--plus rigging.

So the boat with motors fully rigged (no electronics) would be from $79,362 to $85, 822, plus $20,000 (engines) plus transport (at least $2500) plus trailer ($5,000 to $7500. Lets say $100,000 for stripped boat and engines. Add in transport (may or may not be included at the $99K)--and any accessories--cheap trailer at $5500. Lets say $108,000? Would be close to as I would see an ordered boat comming in at. Then add in Tax.

Some boats come with the radar arch, canvas, electronics--and it easy to add another $10,00 to $15,000 or more onto the price. It is not impossiable to get close to $150K into a Tom Cat 255.

All of the Yacht World adds, say "Call dealer" for price.
