2011 Bennington 2575 R Stern lounge I/O

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.
 
I just sold our 2006 bowrider for 87% of what we purchased it for. Probably could have gotten a bit more if I waited longer than the five days it was on the market.
