After reading all of this, I'm looking forward to my next boat purchase. I feel like I got a really great deal on my current boat, but probably not as good as I could have gotten. My biggest problem was that I shopped for so long (and flew to Miami twice) that once I had decided, I'm not sure I was willing to walk away.
The broker did tell me on the phone that they had nearly closed at "$XX0,000" but the buyer couldn't come up with the coin. So, even if that was total BS, I knew what I could get it for. That's what I ended up paying, minus a few thousand in detailing, polishing, canvas repair, prop tuning... On account of it being the lowest price on yachtworld, and getting a few thou more off of the price, and being the boat we wanted, and getting good leads on financing, insurance, and licensing from the broker, who could say no?
