You have tons of guys putting a high price on their luxury cars/boats/whatever and it's a "if I can't get my price I'll just keep it" environment. Don't expect it to change until we see a drop in the stock market after a record 8 year bull run and/or home values finally stop rising in most markets. Everything goes in cycles, and people are very confident out there right now. Just my opinion, good luck.

Dan, that boat is old school cool and you know what you have...no reason to let it go for less than a number that makes sense to you.
Thank you, In my case they look at the 1986 date and automatically assume it should be $50k. I priced it $.30 on the dollar. It`s probably the highest priced Flat Deck in the country but still a steal when you take into account the money and man hours involved. |

Been on both sides of the fence many times. It is more than frustrating when you call on a boat that has been listed for many months and you can't get a hold of the owner. Or you have to twist the owners arm to get info and a showing. The "I don't have to sell it" line is a major turn off to prospective buyers by the way, guess what .... I don't have to buy it! Price it to sell, be a serious seller to attract serious buyers.
There is a short supply of good performance boats and there is really no relief for that problem. The money to be made will be in well cared for examples with current maintenance and upgrades. |
Define Book, ??? if your looking for a stock factory built boat then you can get close to to a book price, if your looking at a custom built boat its harder to establish a value, most if not all of the hot rod boats that are for sale like ICDPL the market dictates value not NADA, craigslist, ebay, There's an A$$ for every seat I guess, just depends on how much the seat cost's.

And you right, if a guy calls me and offers a stupid # just because thats all he can afford, he's wasting both our time. |
I also believe the market is freeing up a little, seen some nice, fairly priced boats hit the market. And I'm thinking once the weather turns in the northeast, more boats will hit the market. As I always say, things will work out.

Used boat prices are going to say high and get even higher for good quality good shape boats. An's that will only change if the prices of new boats start going down. That's just my thoughts. There will still be great deals out there on boats that you can steal but them are guys that already have there new rides and need to get out of there old boats quick or need out all together.
The price of new performance cars has gone up too, but not nearly like the boats for whatever reason. Too bad the performance boat manufactures don't sell some models that maybe don't have all the features for a lesser price tag. |
