Hmm, at first glance the MSRP is $59,925, with trailer. Upgrade to galvanized trailer is usually $400-$500 or at least that is what others have mentioned. Please someone jump in if I am wrong. The Coast Guard kit they should just throw that it. It isn't worth that much. Most people just get it thrown in. I would ask what cover they are talking about?? The Deluxe Premium Mooring Cover from Yamaha? If yes, then that is a good price for the cover. Looks like they could be juicing it about 2k-3k tough to say though.

Do they have the boat on the lot? Or confirmation it is coming in? IF you are just ordering it now, it may be a long wait or may not come in at all.

Most dealers are charging MSRP Plus about 2K for delivery and prep right now. If you take off about $1,500 for the cover, kit and Trailer upgrade. You are at about $2,750 over. Is it a great deal? No. Are you going to find better in this market? Probably not if you want a boat in 2021. They are making a nice profit, but it's a sellers market so it's hard to blame them.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point and I guess I have to try an negotiate or decide if I want to pay their premium.

In a normal year this would not be a good deal....they are charging you $1245 over MSRP for the boat, plus an extra $1000 for the trailer. But this isn't a normal year.....I fear you won't have much of a bargaining position as they'll have a line of people behind you with check books out.

I attached a pricing sheet for a 2021 212SE, I am considering buying. Want to make sure I’m paying market rate. Any thoughts?
It’s been a week and a bit. I’m just being nosey.... what did you decide?
