When you get serious about looking get out of the cities. There are dealers around resorts and lakes in WI and IA that will have the same boat for a little less due to the market. My best friend from high school's dad also works are the boat shop in my hometown and I could alwasy swing in since it's near my parents place and ask around on some models.
