Seeing reasonably priced used boats but they don't seem to be moving as quickly. Everything points to the interest rates. 8% new and 10-12% on used is holding people off from buying. If boats were still 30-50k it wouldn't be a big deal, but when you're looking at 100+ and financing for 10-20 years, that 100k boat becomes 200k. Not worth it for a lot of folks.

friendly advice, and I mean this will good intentions, the Fed dropping rates doesn't mean anything for the interest rates we will pay on money for boats. It is up to the commercial banks on what risk they are willing to take on these loans. The reason the Fed will drop rates is that the economy is suffering (at the same time inflation says higher), therefore the banks will be seeing these loans are riskier, therefore the spread between the 2 year short term risk-free, which the Fed can "control" and the risk rate we pay will widen.

Awesome update! I live is SE Florida and am still seeing people asking what seems like 20-30% or more above JD Power retail (for what that's worth). I and many savvy buyers are not dumb enough to pay original list on a 10-15 year old boat which is still a depreciating asset last time I checked! Car and boat insurance premiums are up double digits, especially in hurricane markets which will weigh on the market. Maintenance cost and wait times is up a lot (not likely to drop back due to labor/parts cost and availability) and the stock/home market is due for a big correction. Continue to hold dry powder for the sale of a century unless something great comes along in line with "normal" pricing. 😏

Great condition, original owners, and they had a bunch of aftermarket work done (multi battery amp switch, upgraded sound system). Got it for $30k. They were asking $42k for it which was a fair price already. I gave up on Dealers, non would negotiate any prices. I've recently had some dealers message me willing to negotiate now. Keep in mind, I actively searched as a serious buyer for a boat for about 3 months before coming across this one. But I am noticing better deals, used is the way to go. I think dealers are stuck in high priced boats that just aren't worth that price anymore.

I don’t think there is a boat crash and I’ll tell you why. I found a 2009 Monterey 234 FS bow rider on FB Marketplace for 23k, including trailer. Instead of this being a private party, potential purchase, it was a broker representing this vessel. Right off the bat, she tells me that their is a pending offer that came in Sunday. The idea from this broker came up that if I pay full listing, it might become available as no deposit from the first bidder arrived. I agreed, willing to pay if no deposit from first bidder. A day or so goes by to check to see if I could see this vessel….yes, maybe because they are going to bring boat and trailer to their store. Another day goes by, and the trailer needs 3k worth of repair, for an additional 1500, they can get me a new trailer. That was certainly a goal post moving moment and I backed out right away. Original offer 23k that would entail plus-plus-plus would nudge me past 25k according to my calculations. So right now, boat less for the time being and steering clear of the sales folks. Why, I used to be a car salesperson right after the Navy back in the days 😃

I heard you mention that cars were not like boats due to supply chain issues holding up sales. Car production and shipments from the manufacturers were absolutely being affected by component shortages far worse than boats. Remember the computer chip shortages? Manufacturers had hundreds if not thousands of almost finished vehicles that could drive, but didn't have windshield wipers which were legally required in order to sell. The new Ford bronco had all sorts of supply chain issues up on launch, like the MIC hard top that suppliers couldn't supply, people either had to wait or change to a soft top. Also, while the current commodity pricing has dropped from 2020 levels, the manufacturers and suppliers need to use up components purchased previously before the new lower cost items can be used and savings passed on to consumers. So it can take a while before the costs are reduced , and even then, will they really lower prices? Just less gouging that was going on a couple of years ago. I'm in the supply chain industry as a Buyer, so I've seen it all.

Also is there generally an engine wakeboard/surf boats use that is more reliable than others?

Used boats are still Way overpriced.

It's just a slow down. Election year BS. I got a boat for sale. 2021 Blazer Bay. Tricked out

High prices will just make a market for Japanese and Chinese competition. And they'll do it better.

Not sure if that will happen in boats over 16’ but we’ll see

The new boat market should have crashed a long time ago.

Roflmao…. Only wealthy people buy boats? So I assume they all pay cash? Wealthy people don’t take out 30 year loans on a $50k boat. Boats are going to sink faster than RVs and Motorcycles as the recession and financial crash happens.

About 60% of people buying boats right now are paying cash and default rates are only slightly up... stay tuned for that video coming soon!

The wealthy people I know don’t own boats (depreciating assets) they rent. Only middle of the road individuals own boats or the $10Billion+ crowd just to throw money away so the government doesn’t get it

The stimulus well is running dry....and recreational spending which spiked during the plandemic lockdowns is reversing. Remember when you couldn't find a boat to buy (reasonably priced)???? All those buyers are ready to sell. Same w/ Real Estate, RV's, bikes, motorcycles, golf clubs, et al. Gonna be great for anyone able to retire and ready to buy going into 2025... This downturn will last 15 to 20 years or until the last Boomer is 80.

What’s the sales by age? That will tell a lot. Boomers are all about toys right now.

Interesting thought… I’ll post my channel analytics by age but no industry data on sales by age that I’m aware of

Manufacturers will keep the prices high and pocket the additional profit from the cheaper materials..once they know we will spend x amount on y product, it never goes below that figure again
