I am looking at the 06 Sea Ray 185 Sport. I want the boat in black, with the wakeboard tower.<br /><br />I went to Marine Max last Monday and looked at the boats. It was my first time to actually look at one seriously. I went back in there today after doing some research on the internet. The MSRP on the boat is near $30K. Marine Max has the boats discounted about $7 - $8K and say that there is no more room to work. <br /><br />I'm confused because I can understand the boat is discounted already, but to me thats just a "discount". I would think there is a little more money to work with in them. <br /><br />The boat should drive out around $24500 from what he told me and that is including 8 life jackets, bumpers, and all the stuff that is required to hit the water legally. Does that sound like a deal, or an average deal? Before taxes it was around $22,996 if I remember right. Please help me on this, I'm chomping at the bit to get one, but dont want to mess up. <br /><br />My second question is should I go with a very lightly used 05 185 sport for $17995 w/no tower or a new 06 for the other price. $17,9 is not drive out. That is the asking price. <br /><br />Thank you in advance for all of your help

Does this website have no traffic or no one wants to offer advice?
