Gas is selling for $3.40/gallon at my marina. I'm wondering how much the price of gas will impact boat sales (new and used). Will boats depreciate even quicker?

At 3.40 that would be a steal up here on L.I. !!!

We're almost to the 4th of July.
I see many boats for sale but haven't seen dramatic price reductions.
Perhaps because I'm looking at boats under $50K?
