New Boat Negotiations

I''m a newbie here so if this topic has been covered before, please accept my apologies... Question: what is the custom/protocol for negotiating the price of a new boat with a dealer? I''ve purchased many a used boat, and am quite familiar with the offer/counter offer dance. However, with a new boat it seems like the dealer just throws the "order form" at you, and that''s that. Is it as simple as looking at the order form, rounding down 10% in your head and saying "OK, I''ll give you x for it"? Any advice would be appreciated!
