Over the last couple years who has either bought the first boat, traded up, or knows someone that has.
Just like to know how our market is doing.
I did it twice in the last 3 years.

Bought and sold.

Out of the game for the time being.

Traded up last Spring.
Upgraded over the Winter

Went from a 21' Checkmate to a pontoon to a Power Play 185 to a 230 Stingray to a 24' center console to a 24' sport boat. And that's just in the last 5 years. I'm stuck with the Progression for a while now, though. Wife and I have an agreement- if I don't bring home any new boats she won't bring home any new puppies. Still trying to convince her that I sell a boat after I get a new one, and she should do the same with puppies.

Ordered 3 new boats in the last 3 years.

- 2014 Yamaha 212x (twin engine jet boat, 60mph) - officially got the boating bug.
- 2015 Checkmate 2400 Long Deck with 300xs (75 mph)
- 2016 Hustler Talon 25, with Merc Racing 565 (102mph) - just picked up in December. Can't wait for spring.

Yeehaaaa!!!

love the posts so far but 114 views and nobody else knows someone that moved up.

I know the feeling, I went from a 29 outlaw to a 36 outlaw to a 42 tiger. Wife says if I get a 46 I'll be living in it

I've had 5 boats in the past 5 years........

1998 32' Fountain Fever with 502 Innovations (bought used)
2005 Outerlimits Quattro with 525's (bought used)
2008 Outerlimits Quattro with 700's (bought used)
2015 Outerlimits SL41 with 700's (ordered new)
2016 Outerlimits SV43 with 1350's (ordered new) which I'll have the beginning of May

Now that's what I call moving up!!!!

Not far off ur plan Rollin. New Cig 42X May 2915. 2011 Cig 39 Unlimited before that three 35' Nordic's 2000, 2004, 2007. All bought new.

This is a bad habit!
