You mean boats don't only lose a few hundred dollars a year?? lol It too me almost two years to find a reasonably priced boat. I'm in the car business and I'm used to seeing premium vehicle take a hard depreciation hit the first 3 years (roughtly 50%). I will never understand why boats don't follow the same depreciation curve as luxury cars. To me they're very comparable. No one needs a boat or luxury car, they're more expensive to maintain the older they get. More than once I've found 4 year old boats that were selling for the same price or more than brand new one year old leftovers sitting in a boat dealers showroom.
