The ups & downs of chartering

Did you negotiate the price of your boat when you bought it Ronnie?
Do you give senior discounts?
military discounts?
How about AAA?

Chris,
No on all 4, though I'm not sure what AAA is.
Not sure you are being serious or sarcastic !

Here is a portion of one of the guys emails.

"you can't expect them to go to the standard web page quote $1k and not ask if you can do better in this day and age, especially when they are all Wrentham residents that either know you or your kids from in town sports and hoped that you might treat them a little different than the average customer off the street,"

With friends like that who needs enemies? Tell him to get bent!!!

And whatever they do I'm sure they'll willing give you a discount without even asking

Nothing wrong with seeing if you can negotiate the price or asking if there is any flexibility though I probably would not do it if I new the person fairly well. Making a comment about it after that is something completely different and completely disrespectful and shows that guys true colors in my opinion.

When dealing with friends I always say I pay full price or I'll go elsewhere.

Too uncomfortable any other way.
