Take note that they are the ones saying that STEALING one is a rare occurrence and not the rule.

I have been boatless for a LONG time(not my choice) but I choose to at least watch the market and only OCCASIONALLY comment.

WE all have a DREAM boat. It's just relative to your checkbook. I would kill for a sweet 388 or 40' MTI. Some guys want a big cuiser, and some want a Feadship. :cool:

However, like the housing market, you can do your best to time the market, but how many DIAMOND properties(or boats) will sell while you wait. Is it really worth another $5-10k to get your second choice?

Not to me. The point where my bank acct and the boat I really like are at a crossroads, I'm buying. I will not watch it go somewhere else over a few $k and miss more boating time.

Nothing wrong with trying to make a deal, and that doesn't make you a Dreamer, it's just better to pull the trigger sometimes.

Example. Does Dreamer need his old 28' Cig ? No. BLee need that cool 20' Cig? No. Just that they decided boating fun was more impotant than waiting on the NEXT deal.

Just my 2 cents.

DAMMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cash, nice job.

very VERY nice

People that buy these boats want that new boat smell. The second hand market is tied with the housing market and is in the toilet. It's a distressed sell that could go much lower.

Thanks guys. I really have enjoyed everyone's perspective.

That one is just mine.

Buy what and when you want, just have fun and be safe.

Well spoken...............as Tommy Boy says......."the salesman has entered the building"......... The don't let the #1 choice get away for a few dollars can be applied to real estate just as easily. "Reduce to the ridiculous" comes in handy at this point in the close, 20K wrapped into a 30 yr 7% loan is $133 a month or less than $4.50 a day. So M/M Future Homeowner do you want to lose this dream home for less than a Starbucks coffee every day?

Of course my response to the seller is always , If it is only $4.50 a day why don't you just give it to me! :rolleyes:

Damn you guys are acting like it's winter already, lighten up. ALL of you buttholes.

I was told they sold that 35 Fountain for $ 108,000. And was a clean boat, not a bad deal....

How close to the asking price did it go for? If you don't want to alienate the buyer, just note higher/lower by a little/ a lot.

As an investor, that is the way you should think.

For the person that actually is buying their dream home(or boat) $4.50 a day is a small price to pay.

My commercial buyers ALWAYS think in dollars, my residential clients usually think with emotion. Both ways are right.

Two sides to the same coin.
