wait. customer refuses to buy a boat from a dealer that is shady/unethical/jerk. whatever the reason. now refuses to service boat that customer is bringing to same said dealer that didn't want to buy from in the first place? if you choose to play the pricing game/hate the dealer/like a different dealer and go elsewhere, have a game plan for what you are going to do to get it serviced.

I have to agree with most that dealers make a good living off service and most should want to service a boat for the money but as a small business owner I should be able to refuse service to anyone- remember the story about the gay couple not being able to get a cake in denver- and now the above customers got what they asked for.
