I think the low sales is because of youtube. People are learning their lesson before actually buying from youtube. Potential boat buyers are becoming educated and avoid getting cleaned out

I live in New England and it's absolutely impossible to find a boat slip the waiting list for moorings is 2 life times so why would anyone buy a boat when the only place you can put a boat is a drive way

lmfao, go to your local bass pro shop and see their "entry level" boats. fuc that. those damn things were 25k+, for a bare bones 17' boat. anything above that and the prices soared. Really "nice" boats were 80k and up. And across all boats the quality really sucks. really really sucks. they lost their fucing minds.

In GB we are told ongoing costs for running a boat is a tenth of the purchase cost. £200 K boat £ 20K per year. Greedy mooring firms, greedy insurance, greedy chandlers who quadruple everything. A waste of money.

Who would finance a boat or a car or any other such item? If you cant pay cash then that usually means you can't afford it.

I was shocked when everyone was jacking up prices and knew that it wouldn't last forever. I've been waiting for the crash to happen and now it's happening after six to seven years. Now I'll have to wait till the dealers start reducing their inflated prices and come back to reality. Maybe next summer they will be reduced but I'm thinking by the following summer they will have lower prices where people will be able to get a fair deal.

The fact that so many genius business people expected the Covid spike to not be a spike is dumbfounding to this business person.

Material costs are killing boat builders. Plus they are competing against used parts and boats.

Marine boats are way overpriced, prices are wicked. Absurd if you think about what you get, paying 25K dollar for a diesel with 65HP just because it is for marine. If you replace your car engine it is 20% of that price.
