I am not sure which direction I want to go but this winter I hope to buy a boat. I am considering the AR250 or any 252 model - they do seem to be a great value boat. I am also considering an I/O but likely used. Are dealers sitting on new inventory? I can't help but think things have got to turn around and the average consumer might have to tighten the belt a little and toys may not be as important as keeping the important bills paid.

In Janurary of 2020 I bought a brand new pickup for 19% off MSRP... will Yamaha dealers be willing to deal come winter if sitting on inventory? Or is there no inventory to sit on?

Thanks for any input.
 
Just saw and AR250 2021 for $62,000 on the way home from the lake in a lot. 88 hrs on the boat. Boat prices coming down good it appears.
