End of Sea Ray as we know it

I am in current negotiations for a new 2018 400 Fly. MSRP 1.05m. Current negotiations are at 730k and I think I can get it down to 720k which equates to just over 30% discount. These are real numbers after incentives etc.
my concern is the drop in price after purchase. I am new to SR and all my other boats have held value well (Boston Whaler, Grady White, Pursuit). That being said this SR seems to be a perfect fit for what I am looking for right now and the quality is above all the Europian similar boats (Prestige, Bavaria etc). I figure to have the boat for 7-10 yrs so maybe it just doesn't matter.

Have you looked at used? 720K will buy a lot of boat on the used market. There are good clean fresh water boats out there.

Many others if you look at yacht world or boat trader

Yes, I agree. I have always preached to never buy new. My problem is we really like the new designs with the amount of light and size of the bridge along with the lower helm. I big kicker is my wife will not let me buy a boat without a joystick. After she had the opportunity to drive one she said it is a must. That pushes me to a very late model and there are really none available out here on the west coast.
 
The San Diego boat show is this week and I know for a fact that there are several boats that will be on hand equipped with joysticks. If you can't make that, attend the Newport show a month later.

Thanks Carbo, I plan on being there.
