You should be able to get a discount on any new boat.

I say *should*, because my experience suggests that Whaler's are tough to get/find a deal on.

A friend of mine spent years looking at small Whalers and even used, even beat up, they held their value VERY well, going for relatively high prices, I.e. not much less than a new one.

And they didn't last long for sale whenever they went up, even the basket cases sold very quickly. If you're looking for a deal, I'd suggest looking for a used one this time of year, something someone doesn't want to winterize/store or keep making payments on over the winter. And being prepared to make an offer/jump on it quickly...
