We all must be asking too much...
No, that can't be it since we are all over the place in price (prices seem to be commensurate with the boat)
I tell you what, Sean. Lets get rid of this "glut" of Panteras on the market. I'll trade you both of mine for yours and we'll each keep the motors in our 28's

Seems like 1 out of ten people I know here in Detroit are out of work right now ..... 3 of my four dirt bike riding buddies!
Really stange to see unemployment and layoff's seem normal ..... this has a big effect on big toys around here ... and probably the nation.

Mike, the funny thing is at least 3 of the boats that are for sale are for sale becuase we want to move up to something bigger or faster (or both!)
I agree though, the economy is such a mess that everyone seems to be trying to cash out of all their toys. Of course once the package is fully stimulated by the gubbermint, everyone who used to have a large savings will wish they had hard assets instead... Printing 3 - 5 trillion dollars is going to make the dollar look like the old peso. We'll be paying $100 for a cheeseburger and $350k for a 10 year old boat!
At least that's what I'm telling my wife!

All true but what is missing IMO is the regular middle class guy ready to step up to an offshore boat from the bowrider or classic Donzi model ........ I thnk it's a regular guy that buys a used 28 Pantera , or someone that has diversified interests and not interested in sinking all they got into a boat, that's sitting out of the market right now.
For example I would be sitting on the fence instead with what has changed in the past year and industry uncertainty. I love my boat and intend to keep it for a few more years but would not have bought due to future employment concerns if the decision were this month vs October 2007.
You can see automakers trying to address the uncertainty issue with the job loss guarantees. Let's hope it spins around quick!!!
