No BS values on boats????? They arent even in the toilet theyve been flushed.....

I think that the people seeing pennies on the dollar will be boats that the manufacturers flooded the market with, either with big production numbers, infinity financing, or both.
IMO...
A guy who paid 200k cash for an OL does not need to worry.
A guy who financed an executioner until 2025 might have a problem.

I am hoping that somebody cool owns a 28 Apache... so far I found one newbie, and one eccentric older gentleman.
Sunkin owned once once.... that's way better than Rob Van Winkle.

griff- im not saying right now the average guy can go out and do that. I am in the aviation business and I know investors with big wallets that are putting together packages for the banks, and buying alot of deadwood that the banks want to get off of their books. The same thing has to be going on with boats. Now lets just say that they dont get greedy and want to flip those boats quick with a 10% profit, theyre still in at %30 of what was the market value. What do you think is going to happen to the market?

BINGO! You hit the nail on the head. There are many people as well as businesses that thrive in a down economy.
If I was selling a boat and needed it gone, what are your options? Take a paper loss because you owned the boat outright and sold it for less than you had into it? Lesson #1 boats lose $,$$$,$$$,lots of it. If you have to rationalize it, why not try to put a price on all the memories you gained through boating and boat ownership. It's sappy and you get the point. Your other options include selling your bank encumbered boat at a loss and making good on the depreciation OR the bank issues a repo and the derogatory credit follows suit. People with good credit and some 'play' money will always fair better in the long run. One choice to make - keep pluggin' along or adapt.
