New Boat Shopping-2017' deals

[Pock]

Hi all,

I'm new here and am in the process of shopping for a new boat. I have owned other boats, but this will be my first boat of this design. We have looked at Malibu, Axis, Supra, and Moomba. For the money we want to spend I think we've liking a 2017 Mojo. I have researched all kinds of listings and lurked on forums trying to make sure I'm educated before I make a purchase. My question is, with 2018 models coming in, what kind of deal/sale would be considered good on a 2017 considering they are only a few weeks from being last years model? I know options make a big price difference but I assume being anywhere near full MSRP would be a horrible deal. I guess what I'm asking is if I was to build a boat on the Moomba site and it cost $XXXXXXX, what kind of room does a dealer have right off the bat for negotiations and then how much more will they move at the end of the year?

Thanks all!

Welcome, where are you from? That will drive a big piece of your question.

Another option is to wait until the boat show in your area and see if there are any left over 17's.

a 17 Mojo will range from 65k up to 91k.

Thank you, I live in Northwest Louisiana, so I have Texas, and Arkansas nearby. I was considering just waiting until the Dallas boat show in Feb to see what kind of deals are available or even just ordering a 2018 exactly the way we want. With toys like these that are not only expensive, but depreciate quickly, I need to make sure I'm not over paying.

Greg Orr Marine currently has some 2016 boats they are blowing out .... They may be all Supra's, though.

Thank you. I visited them this weekend. I think the 2016's were Supra's. One of them was in really poor shape for being new. Sad!

I am from the east side of northern LA, so I have a clue about where you are talking about. I think Bayou has a Helix left in inventory and I hear they may no longer be our Supra/Moomba dealer. For me, that puts Gregg Orr as my Supra dealer and B & L Marine in Monroe as my Moomba dealer. I did not even realize I had a Moomba dealer in my back yard up until last week when I designed a Craz after looking at one at Gregg Orr while I was up on Lake Ouachita camping. I will be talking to B & L possibly this week getting a price on a new Craz/Mojo. I have still yet to figure out the normal % off on the SC products. I have been shopping Malibu's for a while now and know about what they come off. If the Craz or Mojo can come in under the new Malibu 21 VLX (around $80k but to me is nicer on interior than Moomba plus I am just used to the Malibu wakes), or come in under an Axis T22/T23 price, then I may go with a Moomba.

I got 15% off msrp when I bought my 16 craz in February 2016. Didn't take a whole lot of negotiating to get there either.

I got a little over 22% off on my 2017 Supra in July right when the 2018 models were starting to hit the dealers. They also gave me over payoff on my 1 year old Mojo that I bought from them...unfortunately for the dealer it is still for sale on their used lot.

I almost forgot...the dealer also threw in the 20 hour and 100 hour service as well

So not to stir up controversy, if I go to the SDC web site and look up 2017 models and enter a bunch of options I'm seeing at least a $15,000 mark-up and in some cases over $50k. I was offered trade in on my SA, between trade in and low retail NADA based rates there was a $15,000 spread.
