Good luck with the sale.
Unfortunately in this market the buyers are few & far between.
I've got my eye on another boat at a dealer here in Florida but they only trades they will take is a Cigarette.
If you can't get 55k for Tsumani I hate to think what my boat is really worth in this day & age.
It seems trying to retail a boat is just about impossible unless you give it away. I sure hope this market gets better soon.

It will be interesting to see exactly how the market recovers. So much gear now goes for so cheap. It all still costs as much or more to put together. The only way to get value for your boat is to trade for someone else's depreciated gear.

funny I have seen some boats go for really good prices and then I have seen some well for the money they'd have sold for 2 years ago.

seems good marketing and patience are the key.

Sure there are less buyers so demand is low. Supply is high which makes for a bad market.

BUT when the right buyer finds the right boat they are still bringing good money if they are a rare boat because the buyer has very few choices.

As the market cleans up and more people are willing to buy and more people are less willing to sell the economic model will shift and prices will rise just like always.

Nessecities alwayshold the most value in a bad economy and pleasure accesories Hold Little until people get sick of living on the nessecities alone and have the means to change the situation.

Once people are comfortable in what they have for money/debt things will come back around

doesnt anyone remember the early 90's
It wasnt the END then and it wont be the END now.
It will take some time and sound financial practices though.
