I rather save up some more money and wait a year and buy something similar like this one the pay 65k for soon to be 15 year old boat...

EWB, more info please!
Agreed. Problem is you have guys that bought their boats when the market was stronger, thus paying a much higher price relative to what it's actually worth today. I just think for a lot of them they can't stomach to sell their boat for the actual market value today and their selling mentality is still stuck in the "pre-poor market" era. Not gonna happen today. Like I've said, they'll be holding onto these boats for a long, long time. No different than the housing market.

Jmoore I understand what you're saying. And I'm not meaning everybody out there is asking too much and needs to firesale their boat. But when you see the same boats for sale for months/years on end, what does that tell you?

+1 SteveO

The way I see it, the marketprice is what the boat sells for in a couple of weeks, the usually tirekickers, emails/phonecalls and finally someone seriousshows up with cash and takes it.

Firesale is when the boats sells for 2 hours..

Supply and demand, the only thing that is for sure is that they are not getting more expensive by time..

Question!

The V-berth, how long/wide is it? If anyone have the spec och can measure that would be appreciated!
