Has anyone had success negotiating a deal on one. Looking at a 20ft deluxe sun tracker and the price TT&L is $24,500. I would like to get it around 23k. If anyone has negotiated on the price,what tactics did u use and how much did you get them to go down on the price?

Had a man at Hanko's tell me they get a lot of repair business for the Sun Tracker pontoons because they leak. Besides, are Tracker boats "no haggle" and what you see is what you pay? Try a Bentley or G3.

I don't know if I would limit my search to one brand, the end of summer is coming, you should be seeing price discounts. I would also look at South Bay, but the price on those might be out of your budget...

Pontoon boats depreciate so fast it is ridiculous. 3 year old ones go for a quarter of the price of new ones, so look at slightly used ones too. They are all pretty much the same, so find one that hasnt been used much and has been covered and go to town

When Archibald/Alto sucks real hard, it seems to make ponds in Western Ouachita Parish.

I got a big arse yard to store it. I'm gonna look in the classifieds. Just not sure if I wanna drop 25k. You would be surprised at the shite ponds I could ride my pontoon boat in around bawcumville.
