    Curious to know if the used boat market is going to be in decent shape this year?

    I don’t have the brains to predict it………

    I usually “wing it” and try to calculate by how many of a particular class of boat I’m seeing, the price they’re asking, and how many sell. Between boat show and May, there’s usually a pretty feel for what’s hard to keep and what’s hard to sell.

    If we weigh the current economy into things, the big spenders proved they’re still around during the holidays. However, consumer confidence is still a bit on the shaky side.

    What I meant was – I’m going to be moving out of state, and need to sell my boat b/4 doing so this spring….

    Mike,
    Where are you moving to? Did you find a new job?

    Ohhh……… well don’t I feel silly!

    If I can offer up a suggestion, don’t wait. Put it on the market for what you want now. That way, if it doesn’t sell right away, yours will be one of the first offerings viewed when “looking” begins. It also gives you time to adjust if things are going slow.

    What do you have for a rig…….. curiously?
