This could become the new standard (higher used boat prices) . I never understood how such a large ticket item depreciated so much in 5 years. I do get the market (sellers) kind of dictated the used boat cost. In other words, sellers were okay with selling a 5 year old boat for 20 to 30 percent less of what they bought it new. Some may argue that a 5 year old boat is better than new, all bugs done. When I bought my 2007 Silverton 45C in 2012 it was perfect for the 7 years I owned it. When I sold it in 2019 other than a few hoses that needed replacement boat flied through the survey. Point is, the hit used boats have taken IMHO is silly. Especially when you look at the same boat and the cost to buy brand new. Just saying, this current used boat pricing may be with us for a while.
