It seems like around here it’s finally slowing down. A lot of the used, high dollar late model boats aren’t moving as fast as they were last year….Still too dang high though.

Treat others like you want to be treated when on the water EVEN WHEN IN A TOURNAMENT! No fish is worth having a confrontation because you cut someone off or came in on top of someone.
What’s the point? Nicer stuff costs more money?
Boat prices may not drop this year; they might even rise due to the pandemic's consequences over the past two years.

When you print money and throw it into the economy that’s what happens. People won’t make good decisions on their own (yolo) so the fed tries to discourage by raising rates. The wall is coming I believe in a big way.
Yet many here were called out out for so called conspiracy theory’s when our so called leaders pressured everyone to stay home and let Uncle Sam pay the bills. The government continues to prop up many sectors with record amounts of deficit spending. I don’t think we are close to seeing the end of high prices. I honestly think these prices will become “the new norm” crippling too many families as they become dependent on D.C. for their livelihoods.
used boat market seems reasonable here and stuff is not moving that quick so....tons of stuff available
My boat is a 1991. I would not sell if for 30K. Still love it.
Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.
If you look, you can still find brand new 2022's on some dealer lots. Wedowee Marine for example still has (2) 2022 Caymas boats.
I think Covid crazy prices are coming down…but used values are still up. I just sold a salt water boat and got exactly what I paid for it 4 years ago. Took 3 weeks and couple price reductions.
I saw a 2008 model boat listed on here recently for $20k, with several comments implying that was a decent deal. I sold one of the same model boat, low hours and mint condition, in 2011 for $22k. Both situations can be right: that is, mine was worth $22k in 2011 and the same boat today could have a market value of $20k. That’s how inflation works!
I think supply and demand had some effect as well. New boats were hard to come by until recently, so naturally the value of used came up. Lots of boats (bass boats anyway) are sitting on showrooms right now. Any brand you want. So of course there should be a corresponding decrease in demand and price of used.
