Looking to buy my first boat. Help

I have my heart set on the 2019 AR195 I plan on waiting for the boat show in Seattle coming this winter.
I am wondering what kind of deals did people get from the shows? What should I request?

You won't get much (if any) lower then MSRP, but you'll probably get an extended warranty and some goodies thrown in

I'd personally wait a year for then to work the kinks out if the new connex system in the boats this year. If you aren't able to pay cash, a used (lightly) boat in the same size or larger would be a good choice .... Yamaha financing on new boats is hard to beat though

I'm ordering an AR210 from the show this winter in Wisconsin. The main reason is I won't have to put in my down payment (minus the $1000.00 to "order" the boat) until April. I should be able to put down half at that point and only finance half. The pricing should move a little bit, last year was about $3500.00 (i think), so I'm not holding my breath for a larger amount. I would like to take advantage of whatever warranties/goodies Yamaha throws in or discounts at the show, plus any extras Winnebagoland (HINT HINT!!!) throws my way (*Cough* Premium tower mooring cover, wake board racks and a booster ball). Just sayin... LOL!
So I guess it depends what you're looking for. You should be able to get some swag from the dealer at the show, if not, go to another dealer.

That's great and I'm not to worried about the new connex computers in the 2019 since they have had them in the larger models for a bit. Fingers crossed lol.

I have never been to a show so I figured there would only be one Yamaha dealer but if their is multiple then I'm really going to have to bring out my bargaining skills. I am definitely going to ask for the cover and the largest warranty I can get.

I do have the option of Seattle washington or Portland Oregon since they are about the same distance from me.
