I don't think there are any dealers per say, but I will venture a guess at $245k

Brian - you need to be getting a paycheck from AT! You're doing more sales for them than anyone else... How about it Pat? Does Bri need some business cards?

BTW, my experience having been someone who has ordered a boat from the factory leads me to believe that dealer cost is somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% off MSRP (whatever that number is). Typically a good deal from a dealer is described as one that achieves 25-30% off MSRP based on what I've gleaned from OSO over the years. Since AT sells direct it would be difficult to target their numbers but it's fair to compare their offerings to other boats of the same size/power and do the math to figure out what kind of values can be had.

I know the boating world doesn't like to post dealer cost. And from a selling perspective, i totally understand. That being said, When you buy a car you can go online and find the invoice cost before you go and try to haggle. Why all the secrecy in marine sales? I've always thought that it would be great for a manufacturer to come out with "no haggle" pricing like Saturn does. Build in enough for the manufacturer and the dealer to make an acceptable profit without making the customer guess if he's getting a good deal or buying the very same boat as the guy before him, but for $30k more. Just thinking out loud, not criticizing dealers or manufacturers.

This topic has always made me think that there's gotta be a better way than what is conventionally done.
