Just wondering what some of you think Four Winns would take off the MSRP of the V375. My wife is on board with the V375 ((((BONUS))))). Based off the Four Winns site, the boat with almost every option is a little shy of 400K "MSRP". I wonder what the real out the door price would be???

We will be selling one of our places down state, here in the Grand Rapids area. Our plans are to head south every winter after retirement. We will keep our house on the lake here in Michigan for the summers here.

There's a good, solid 30-40% margin in the boat.

That being said, your best deal will be based on what your dealer will do.

Transportation/freight shouldn't cost you the huge price - get that 'thrown in' or cut by half or something.

If you want raw numbers... 20% bare minimum off. 25% is doing pretty darn good. Anything over 30% could be considered amazing.

I don't think Four Winns is doing alot of special deals with dealers thanks to the new ownership. It used to be, a dealer could call and say 'I need X to make a deal happen'. And, FW would step up and do something.


I can't believe I'm saying this... but you might consider used... there are ALOT of 'big boat' deals out there if you are looking at a 250-300 price range.

At this point it a long term goal. However, if the deal of a life time comes along then that would possibly change a few things. I have never owned a boat that large but have always wanted one. We only have the H210 SS because we have another place thats on an inland lake. So as we come close to retirement I plan to sell our main residents and head south for the Michigan winters. We are thinking that whatever boat we buy (V375) would be based somewhere in the south. We are still kicking around ideas where to buy a slip. I know there are a lot of really neat places in southern Florida, but who knows!!

Just go for it now. This boat is right in your price range, and already in Florida.
Why wait until you are retired and too old to enjoy it.
