A much-discussed website that offers consumers information about boats – including the dealers’ cost for the vessels – went live on Thursday. SeeDealerCost.com includes manufacturer and dealer price information, including prices on used models, as well as dealer locator information, educational articles, FAQs, finance and insurance information and the option to request a quote.
The site will also explain that the dealer price does not include items such as shipping, dealer prep, taxes, fees, rigging and other items, according to those associated with the site.
Dave Taylor, an industry veteran associated with the venture, recently told Soundings Trade Only that it’s time for the boating industry and other recreational product providers to embrace a way of doing business that is friendlier to consumers.
“Customers expect easy access and transparency with information and pricing, and to be able to get that information on their own terms,” said Taylor, who was senior vice president of sales and marketing for the US Marine division of Brunswick Corp. before joining the new venture.
Meanwhile, many in the industry fear it will hurt their business.
“Why does the consumer need to know what our cost is?” asks Phil Keeter, president of the Marine Retailers Association of America. “What purpose does that serve?”
