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.

(And why would anybody post dealer costs on line anyway?)

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