I got a price on a Ranger RT188C today with a 115 Yamaha, 80lb thrust Minnkota Ultera, Ipilot and Helix 7SI with link at Trader Bill's. I think I might find a little better price. Any Ideas? Thanks

call bill at big river marine in west memphis. he can get you one and i bet he can save you some bucks...
Was you sitting when trader bill told you. Close to 40 then 30. That the same boat I been look at and Bill @big river marine has my boat and helping me set it up.
Not sure if it's true or not, but if it's a custom boat from the factory Ranger sets the price not the dealer. When I bought my RT188 I got online and built it and it gave you the price! Supposed to be some kind of no haggle deal. Of course there's always room to haggle for extras and maintenance type things.

Bill over at BigRiverMarine going to have best price around plus he gives C.C discount.
I agree, Bill's your man.
rzrbakhunter, that's kind of what they were telling me too but also there was room for haggle but I told him I missed that part somehow. lol He held his finger over "their price" and showed me where they had knocked off 1K from the base price. I know this because there were several prices of other boats I could see on the same page. I told him I didn't see how they could sell boats and not make any money and he told me that was the way it worked out. I left!
I'm sure Ranger has a deal with their approved dealers where they get commission. Also I was told Ranger will run special promotions that aren't really advertised to certain dealers. But I learned early in life to take everything a salesman says with a grain of salt. I went to two dealers the first had one but not what I wanted and when I got online and built it the price on the Ranger website was 1k less and mentioned it to him and he kind of changed subjects real fast. Ended up buying mine from Cabelas because I told them what I wanted and it was the same price as what I built on line. Also had them throw in a pretty good size gift card so I could get the rest of the essentials. This was before I was a member on here so I'm sure I will be giving BigRiverMarine a shout for my next boat because I've heard nothing but good things from satisfied customers on here.Quote:

Call Bill Burnett at Big River Marine. 1 800 635 0202.......he gives discount to c.c members he will have the best price
I like the looks of those glass boats Greg just posted!
I would shop locally personally as they will be the one servicing your rig. But there are a lot of folks that may think otherwise.

Just got my Z518 last month from Barling Boats in Fort Smith. Checked several dealers and they were a couple thousand cheaper. Easy to work with and installed all my extras free of charge. Ask for Kristie. She is easy to work with. Good luck and enjoy your new boat.
Thanks for the referrals guys. Can't win em all. Lol
