I just got a call back from a salesman that I sent a request to in September or October.
He said "Prices might not get this low again"
If him calling me almost 4 months after I tried to get in touch with him is any sign....I think prices are going to be a lower than they are right now.

(I don’t want to fool with a trailer)
And they still need to come way down
My backup plan is to get a long bed B2200 with a shell and throw a foam pad in the back.

no power, still had a carb plus miles of emission stuff under the hood. Friend of mine owned it since new. Had a matching shell on it. When I sold it, the shell wasn't on it but I said it was included. The guy didn't want it, but I had it on it when he came to pick it up.

It will be interesting to see how much inventory they have, and how much they have gone up since last year.

The two dealers I talk to the most said the attendance was noticeably down and they both sold about half as many boats as last year. I figure it will take manufacturers an entire 2023 of taking it up the rear before they consider the idea of lowering prices.

It would seem dealers have the ability to stay irrational for a long time.

I've got my eye on a couple that have been sitting 6+ months. Of course, I haven't had any bites on my boat either so it's a conundrum.
I personally think the wad is shot regarding new boats, the higher end $250k+ stuff might not be impacted too much...but I think a lot of the lower/mid tier stuff will tank in value. IE, the market for $150k Sea Fox's is probably going to dwindle significantly.

There have to be some folks looking at that Sea Fox 28' CC in their driveway going "WTH was I thinking??"

Same with a lot of the pontoons and wakeboard boats

Pontoons in particular seem to tank in value, similar to a BMW or something. I don't really believe there are that many people who can take a $50k bath on a couple of year old boat and be OK. But maybe there are?
I've seen some late model Supra's with an asking price under $100k, I don't know exactly what they went for new but I know it was well north of that. Maybe the sell off we've all anticipated is coming?

I watch a lot of youtube and this guy who reviews cars was revieing a 2024 GMC 3500HD. By the end of that video, had had me going "I dunno? Maybe a $87K truck isn't that much? It is a nice looking truck". In another review he was driving a Jeep Rubicon 392. It was $110k. And was comparing it to HIS Jeep Rubicon 392.
I have no idea what youtubers make, but he bought a TRX AND a Jeep 392 last year. I need to get into the youtube business.
