I'm just absolutely shocked this boat hasn't sold. Good price and appears VERY clean. Was talking it up the other day to a gentleman that was looking at a Bullet. Someone should snatch this thing up.

I just think the economy has alot of people spooked to buy boats right now.

But my theory on straight bottom cigs is theyre now a working man’s boat. Blue collar guys doing pretty good but for the most part don’t have cash liquid. In the past, these guys would get a loan with a decent down payment. Or get someone to carry paper or probably the majority of the time, pull cash out of their houses. However, now, liquid cash is still scarce for these buyers. Except interest rates are stupid to consider pulling money out of the house and most banks won’t loan on a these boats because of age and even if they did you’re still looking at high interest. So people either have to get creative with their financing (someone carries paper) they pull cash out of investments or they sit and wait to see what the market does.
with that said, I still think this boats worth every penny of 79 from the looks of the photos. If it’s even close to as clean as it looks. Again, someone needs to snatch it up.

Not by the looks of the market! Post 2000 cigs are still selling for 30-50k more than they were selling for 5 years ago! boats are selling and inventory is still pretty slim.

yeah. For sure. I also think the inflation of a 38 cigarette doesn’t coincide to cost of living wage increases. Meaning we bought our 95 gun in 2005 for 85k. Philly made it happen and doable. But Now I look at 2013 guns (10 years old like our last gun) and you can’t touch one for under 300k it seems. I guess everything has sky rocketed except wages. Crazy.
