My guess is the bottom feeders will still be shopping next, year, and the next year, etc. The entire 8 years I've been on this board there's always been the "I'm waiting for the market to bottom out" crew.
I got too old and fat too keep waiting......so I bought

The folks selling those might be having firesales, but what have you saved by getting one of those?

I guess some just assume that no one that owns these boats can actually afford to own them, or wait for their number? The only "buyers market" or firesales I've seen, is for junk that will end up costing the same in the end as a nice boat to make it right. Funky paintjobs and weird power setups obviously are discounted, but then you have to change that or suffer the same loss down the road.

Capitalism at its finest, for every seller you need a buyer and that transaction will determine the price. Listed prices are a starting point and it goes from there.
Some hope for a fire sale but it never comes.... they end up talking alot and buying nothing.

Now, sometimes you may catch the seller who has the title and chooses just to get out and that is usually where you can pick up the steal.
If you are looking for a steal you'll just have to be patient, it may not come up today or tomorrow but maybe sometime in the future.

In Australia I can't give my top gun away in this economic climate. My buddy works for our leading boat trader magazine and says our marine industry is doing it very, very tough.

speed??????????????
It has a full cabin and a vacuflush head. That speed is with a load of fuel and 5 people in the boat. I have not run it low on fuel and only 1 person in the boat?? I think Cigarette has change the gear ratio in the drives on the new ones and they run like 110 to 111mph. You might check on the speed of a 39' with 700's that has a full cabin and a vacuflush head??
