Well buying a boat in this market, well if your looking new their as cheap as their going to get. If the MFG cannot make a profit they just won't build it. As for used, most people who have a 30 plus boat with 525's are not hurting for money, but you may find someone who wants to trade up and will let it go to get in their new boat, eith way best of luck. I would say don't wait until fall, you might as well wait until next year if you do!!!!!!!
Best of luck WILL |

Just would like to know some others feed back on buying a boat in this bad market.Starting to look at getting another boat 32 to 36 ft , with twin 525hp, I have 3 boats that I like,
but don't know if I should wait see if prices come down a little. Becaause with gas prices and the econmy so bad whos going out buying boats like this right now. |
great time to buy now. Like its been said, somone with a 36ft 525 boat is probably not hurting for money and will not give it away. If they cant afford it and need to give it away, the boat is probably not properly maintained.

I just got a 40' Formula and the great part is i can go use it now.

Wait until fall if you can, better deals then. Economy will take years to fly again, esp the boating market with gas at $$$$ per gallon. You have time.

Clay is right . All it takes is a nice weekend or two to get a lot of people who are on the fence out looking for boats. :D
Even if they don't end up buying, their activity and the potential offers they represent raise the level of "perceived" interest. Also, people who were planning on selling often change their mind and just decide to keep their boat through another season. That's why I was determined to buy in the dead of winter when fewer people (not OSO'ers of course) are thinking about boating, and sellers/marinas/brokers are getting fewer calls. Go get it now! I have already been out more than a dozen times this year. Let's go boating! :D |
No not basing the purchase of a boat on gas price's, but the price of gas will that drop the value of performance boats and the econmy does not help values.
