Example (just using easy rough numbers):
Say a 2011 39 TG costs $500,000 and a similar 2011 39 Rocket costs $375,000 new. Ten years from now the TG will likely be worth more, say $150,000 and the 39 Rocket might be worth only $110,000. Some would say the TG clearly has 'much' better resale since it's still worth more, but when you look at each in this example, both are still worth about 30% of their new cost.
Furthermore, based on what I've read (and seen) regarding the Rocket, it looks to be a far better boat than something like the old 388's, which had a crappy rep... so I dont think it's fair to compare the two. Just look at the rigging pictured above, I'm not so sure there's a night and day difference in quality between the two like there was years ago. In fact, I dont think I've heard a single bad thing about the Rocket... including the ride quality. On the contrary, I've heard, read, and seen nothing but praise.
I guess what I'm saying is despite the fact that there's not a #1 painted on the side, there's probably a lot more value in the Hustler than many folks might realize.

When you factor in the cost new, I'm not so sure I'd say the cig has "much" better resale. I agree they bring more money in the used market, but when you look at the percentage of cost in the used market vs new, I think you'll find the resale is much closer than you might think.

Since when is logic and rational thought allowed?
Very good post, resale is best thought of as "Cost of ownership" not what it sells for.
