Another problem is that those of us who had boats for sale at realistic prices..not trying to rip any one off, but a real value, got tired of dealing with everyone wanting to lowball you. Everybody was offering half of asking price, then they would get pissed when you tell them to pack sand. Like really you think just because it's for sale it should be given away.

Here is a good example Formula 302 in Detroit, newer engines with trailer for 13k, nice ride, but still not sold....and its reasonably priced..
I think that there is an unreasonable expectation out there, that if you are selling a boat, it must be a fire sale because of the market 5 yrs ago during our depression, so reasonable priced good boats are out there, just not a 2001 for 13000.00

The market does seem pretty good for used mid size boats, our 251 Checkmate that's on Power boat swap shop has gotten a lot of action. I turned a few offers down this week, will see what next week brings.

If you see a clean well running used boat, you can't "think about it" for a day or two. They sell quick. My Checkmate sold last summer in a day, 5% below asking price. They are out there, but don't snooze.
