I sell Liberator tunnel boats. I got three used ones in this month and all are already sold. Two of them before I even actually got them here!

Had a conversation recently with a man looking for a clean boat who claimed to have looked into quite a few offerings only to find most were overstated junk. As often said you do get what you pay for!

There hasn’t been many production boats built in the last 10 years, market should be hot for sellers on the low end boats (under 100k).

I have a friend looking and that hit it on the nail. Most boats build since then have been high end with big HP that takes a lot of money to just keep running.

Find clean running boats with 500-600 HP is NOT easy.

not at all. All three of my boats now fit in that criteria. I call myself a triple dumbass for even having three boats. Unfortunately the market has shifted to basically custom boats and the majority if not all new boats are full custom, well over half a million dollar boats. It’s what the market has produced over the last ten years.

Im not butt hurt, it is what it is.

The used market is hurting my heart right now... what got me into a Nordic Heat 5 years ago, won't even get me in a Nordic Rage right now. Not sure if inflation of economy or egos...
