2 Things
1:The part out business has set the bottom for running boats, instead of people selling boats cheap they get parted.
2: I would want 17-20k for my 86 242. People think thats nuts. I tell them "thats fine go buy a new 24-26' boat with a 525sc."

After almost 2 years of lower gas prices,middle income people with middle budget boats realize they can actually afford to use them again.

They can afford to use them if they cant find one haha it's frustrating. If I had the money I'd be ordering a 382 fastec but I need to work 15 more years before that happens.
