LOL, good call, Dreamer! Some peeps don't fully understand the magnitude of how bad the boating market really is.

Actually, it has nothing to do with me, I just can't figure out why an 01 can be priced at 169K, and then you see an 03 at 150K, and then you see and 07 at 250K, but then you also see an 04 at 250K also.

There is no continuity.

The bayliner joke is classic though.

There never has been any continuity in the boat market and there never will be. Very similiar boats always bring different amounts. Just becuase you see a 03 Top Gun get sold for $120k (and I'm making that number up) doesn't mean every 03 Top Gun is worth $120k. I know of a CLEAN 2002 with 575's that sold in the past month for more than they are asking for that 2003. Why? Becuase it was worth more.

It's just like a car, if you have (2) 2003 SL500 that roll through the auction why does one do $31,000 and one do $34,000? Becuase of the color, miles, and the history....same thing with a boat.

I know that you'd like to buy a T/S Gun, but what you think they are worth is just too low (at the current time), and odds are (and I'm not saying ever) you won't find one for what you think they are worth....at this time.

If Rice Hauler could be bought for $99k it would be gone before you even had a chance to think about buying it. That would be a no brainer to anybody. But, as I said to you earlier, find a boat you like...make an offer. They either say yes or no but don't be upset when everyone keeps saying no at the numbers you are thinking.

My $.02

Rice Hauler did sell for less than 99K from Coopers.

I'll just keep my little Magnum for now. It outruns the TS's on my lake anyway.

It may have, but it could have sold for $50k. Would you think it's only worth $50k? Just becuase he got a smokin deal on it doesn't mean he has to pass it on tot he next guy, I know you'd like that but it's not the way it necessarily works. If you can make a buck on it, why not? There is a fair market value for everything....it's more than $99k.

How come you didn't buy it?

Bad year last year. I probably would have made more money, if I wouldn't have spent 50% of every work day trying to figure out how to buy that boat.

Another one will come along. They always do.

I am glad these things are worth what you guys say, so that when I finally get one bought right, I can sell it to you guys.

One went for 34K because the dealer had his buddy standing there with him and it was going to be his personal car.

Default Shopping

I am going to purchase either a 38 TS 36 Gladiator or a mid 30' catamaran (skater MTI). I have been planning this purchase for about 10 months. My original plan had me buying just after Christmas as I felt that would be pretty well the bottom of the market.

I am a cash buyer but in talking with my banker and some in the marine business it appears there is very little money to lend for boats and high performance is some of the least desirable paper. This means that most deals will need to be cash or home equity loans. With this in mind I am taking a wait and see attitude. I went through this in 1991 and bought to soon. When is too soon? I guess just before the first upturn.

To soon is the day you do it. Like meeting the girl of your dreams at your own wedding reception.
