It’s 2020 and the boat shows in Tampa are going down in March!!! Should i buy then for a better price or, buying a 2020 AR210 model wouldn’t matter on price drops then?

I see you're looking to buy a 21'. Do you know which model? Do you know what they cost? It pays to do your diligence and be prepared. Have a price point and try to stick to it (although must of us go over). Once you got that, haggle, and haggle some more. Once price is set then go for extras (coastguard kit, extra battery, better sound system, boat cover, spot light, etc) and at the end t-shirts, hats, can coolies and key floats. If they want to sell they will. They love saying "this one is already sold, however...". Also, be prepared to walk; there's always another deal!

I purchased my 192 from there. Ask for Brandon and tell him I sent you. Really good guy. Don't know if they still have it but, you may be able to purchase maintenance which they match; not a bad deal. Good luck!!!
