im with jupiter...

ive been on the buying side and know whats goin on..

there are THREE boats in the classifieds now ASKING less than i offered in feb.

i was told then NO WAY.....:rolleyes:

as for boats i missed out on... the prices were low

why dont you go back and buy one of them then? is it pride? why would that stand in the way, you wanted them then but not now? I disagree, 20 bucks, this time next year ted doesnt have a boat.

pay up...

got somthin in july... my old 28ss...


pride? no... that was there value then.... at the begining of the season... i not paying that after missing a whole poker run season....

and i said asking now... not just sold for

D. you know I have your new boat???????

workin on it..... but id rather have the blue/ silver

call u when i back from abroad next week...

I disagree, some seller's still think it is 2006 when it comes to pricing their boat. If they would price them realistically then they would be sold in days (like some have recently) and then they wouldn't have to start threads like "what is it going to take to sell my ..........."

I will take that bet even though he did buy a boat this year. He will buy a boat next year for 20-25% off whatever they are selling for right now.......

I know you bought the 28, but that what you were going for, you know what I mean, you were going for something bigger...tell ya what, i know where a 2002 TS is close to you for right around 100k, would that be good enough if the boat checks out? if so i'll throw in my 20 bucks.:D

welll gorsh captain obvious, of course some are going down everyday, but the ones that are good boats priced reasonably will be selling sooner.

I think the best buys will be the repo bank owned boats, you dont see many, but if you can find one it will be a fair deal.. also I think you will be seeing a few out their soon.. people HATE to make payments in the winter.. exp if their broke..

Just my 02 ct.

Ted will have a new boat when he feels the numbers are right. He can buy whatever he wants.

Him and I have talked boat pricing for hours upon hours and the market is doing exactly what we said it would do. It's riding a roller coaster like oil and every other thing that effects our lives.

I don't blame him for waiting. Why drop 150K on something and find out you can buy it for 100K 90 days later - and thats whats happening boys.

A dealer still has my '06 42X w/ 600's after over a year. My INVOICE on that boat was 270K............... It's MSO and can be bought for a little over 200K I believe.

This market is too bumpy for my liking

I know of two owners kicking them self for not taking my offers... I guess I will try again next year for less:eek::rolleyes:

They usually have stopped cleaning, servicing, and generally giving a damn about the boat before they get it repoed. Not to mention the stuff they "steal" from it before the bank takes it (covers, stereo, props, carpet, engine parts, even seen drives removed). If they can't afford the boat they sure can't afford to maintain it.

Again, mostly trash that will require substantial money to be worth having.

I learned a long time ago

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR

you may get a better deal on something now, but thats just because someone has not cared for it or does not appreciate it. you guys keep kickin tires and workin people over, we will be out boating, call me if you want a ride :)

Just drives?????:D

both you and Dreamer (and let me throw Jim darr in there)..are two peas in a pod:grinser010:..I should start a poll on who will buy a performance boat first.;)

dont forget hydrocruiser. :D

ill take a ride randy, ill buy the beer and bring the bi tches.....:evilb::evilb:

I wouldn't throw them in the Jim Darr category. They are buyers in a buyers market. I think dreamer/customrdyer have both had a dozen performance boats between them and CR likes to get a new one annually. They need to buy the boat right and aren't brand specific. I would put myself in the same category, I want to buy another boat but want to buy it right.

edited for proper content :rolleyes:

Hey Rod where is this 2002 Tiger for 100 grand???????:rolleyes:

Now that would be a deal I would have to think about!:drink:

Very funny........

its Rob, its a top gun and you dont need to worry bout it :D:evilb:

low ballers vs bagholders is the real story. nobody is going to pay inflated prices anymore. the party is over folks.

Sorry Rob, my typo, I know your name, I wasnt that drunk:rolleyes:, do you have pics of the top gun for 100,000. let me know

I only put them in the same scenario as Jim of buying and selling boats, now..in a different scenario, The Jim's are all on their own:grinser010:

wrong Forum guys!
 

:eek:All you guys looking to spend 50k for a 100k boat...This is a Cigarette Forum..check out or "Google" Used Bayliner.com for a deal on a boat you can take the family out on. Don't think OSO has a Bayliner Forum. Not everyone has alot of money to spend, so buy what you can afford rather than running up your long distance charges on your phone bill and wasting peoples time looking for something that isn't reality. I would hate to see someone spend their hard earned money on a boat, then not be able to put gas in it!

I may be mistaken but I beleve I have bought more boats that you ( & most on here) in the past five years...:party-smiley-004:

:Whatever:

well said..

If they want to pay high so be it, that is why the prices are so inflated anyway..

I got a glimpse of this when I started looking at cruisers, they cost way more to build, have stoves, frig, air, ect. all for the same money or less...

The ones that buy new are going to loose a big chunk of change, do they care ? guess not.. I cant take or afford to take a huge hit on a boat. so I must be very careful with what I buy.. & I dont see it yet..

i guess i better sell my $50k cafe & save for a ts so i can be cool like everyone else. :rolleyes:

The boats that are being sold are being sold for 30-50% off retail 12-18 months ago.

The boats that arent' being sold are the boats with asking prices that haven't changed in 12-18 months.

It's that easy

i have to agree.... some of the prices that everyone thinks their sheet is worth was even silly 2 yrs ago... :party-smiley-004::party-smiley-004:

Here is a great price TG: http://www.offshoreonlyclassifieds.c...o18923-en.html

93 TG fresh power for 58K on a trailer! It has been for sale for a year now......

Cafe might not be worth 50K anymore......a two year newer TG is only 58K http://www.offshoreonlyclassifieds.c...o18923-en.html

:party-smiley-004::drink:

that thing looks pretty good ,the 93 tg, if its been for sale for a year must be more to it, that seems like an awful good price , if the pic aren't lyin

I've been following this thread...It just makes me laugh.

What are you going to do? EVERYTHING used is dropping in price in this economy. It's expected. New stuff is still selling well, just mostly over seas.

Looking for "fire sales" is cool and there's some out there from the guys that are hurting in business due to the economy or used their property to buy the boat and now have to lock in those adjustable loans with a huge increase in house payment. But the "fire sales" are few and far between still, I'd say. If it is a good fire sale, it's not around long enough for it to sit in the classifieds.

Boat sales have slowed across the board as expected but to sit here and think that boats aren't selling, you're crazy. Lots of stuff moving for "realistic" prices. That's not saying they're 50% off or some crazy sh!t like that but most that are selling are dropping the price a bit.

The boats that aren't selling...There's always reasons. You get what you pay for (for the most part).

Unfortunately I have a boat that's going to take a hit if I ever sell it (straight bottom gun). But oh, well. we enjoy it and we bought it right (thank god).

So, carry on...search out those deals. Most will tell you to pound sand but who knows...Maybe the one in 30 people you call will take your lowball offer. Doesn't hurt to try.:drink:

my wife cried when he sent me email w/ new price. she actually looked at the boat when she was in vegas & thats the one she wanted. she isnt an expert but has been on many & we looked at a couple, she said it was immaculate. but back in april it was still about $10k more than what we wanted pay.

Roberts boat is VERY nice and clean. The absolute only reason I can see why it hasn't sold is the TRS's and the older seats. But at that price...Who cares about that! I could live with no headrests and the TRS is a great drive.

Amen.... this horse is really being beat to death....

:rolleyes:
