HOLEEEEEEE CHIT! $$$$$$$$$

After looking at that I am definitely not going with the red/white seats when I have to redo the interior.

Under Contract!

Under Contract!

It was posted 2 weeks ago on youtube, absolutely nuts when I saw that it was already under contract as well Makes me want to sell my 08 AR230 to profit a ton of cash but I know I'd never find another boat for at least a year or two!

Yes, saw someone is trying to sell a 2016 limited S for $65k.

My uncle found a boat in a larger city about 5 hours away, printed off the price from their website and drove down the next morning. Got there and was told "that price is wrong, it is actually $6000 more than that" He said, "that is $6000 above book!" They told him that was the price because they couldn't get boats in and they had nothing in the showroom. If he wanted it, that was the price. Walked out the door stunned.

I want to get into a 212x so bad but the thought of selling my boat and not knowing if I can even get a 2022 here this summer is scary and I think unrealistic. I am told "we can order for you but have no idea when it might get here". My fishing buddies are having a heck of a time getting new depthfinders, trolling motors, etc.. for their boats. They just wanted to upgrade a few things and it is nuts right now.

Motorcycles are doing the same thing. A little 150 dirtbike used is like $3500 and a year ago I paid $1500 for them.

Same with Jetski’s, crazy over priced.

If someone wanted to give me $65K for mine, I'd have a hard time saying no.

If they actually sell it at that price. I hope people realize that they are going to lose that “premium” when they go to sell a few years down the road.

Good point, anyone getting into a big boat loan right now needs to keep this in mind.

Try buying a Truck right now.

Try buying a Truck right now.

Bought my truck last year and I am pretty sure it is worth $5-8k more now. Campers, boats, houses, vehicles, anything outdoors, etc etc, you name it, it's going for way more than it ever has before. Very happy we bought our boat in January, even got the dealer down 5k on price, when we picked it up the salesman said it gained $10k in value just sitting there for 5 months and I believe it haha!

That's crazy, but not surprising.

A small part of me wants to sell our boat for close to what we paid for it almost 6 years ago now and another small part of me wants to sell our Lake House that we bought less than 3 years ago. Houses in northern Wisconsin are just as crazy as boats right now, based on some recent sales we could easily get 2 or 3 times what we paid for the place back in 2018, granted we put some money into it, but more like 1/3 of what we originally paid for it, not 2 or 3 times what we paid. Or maybe we can just throw the boat in with the sale of the Lake House and try to get 4x times what we originally paid!

Only problem with either one of those plans is finding another Boat or Lake House AND paying "extra" to buy right now. So, we'll just sit tight and enjoy our life!

I see stuff like this and it makes me feel like I should sell my 07 Sx230, seeing as I don't expect to get much use out of it.

 

[Beachbummer]

If there was ever a time to sell, specially if you are not getting your proper full use out of it, that time is now.

I would sell before the crash. With rising interest rates soon as Yellen stated the other day. I would sell and possibly buy it back way cheaper when the crash happens

Boy this one hits close.

Dealer I traded my Sierra to sold it for $30k within a week. I bought it for $36k over 3 years ago and put over 75k miles on it. Only lost $6k in value.

Next door neighbors just sold thier house. Had over 20 offers in less than 8 hrs. The took the one that was $20k over ask with all inspections waived. Got over $300k for it, they bought 3 years ago for just under $230k. $70k appreciation in 3yrs. Makes me feel good about ours though. Same layout and we owe less than $190k now!

Had offers last year for payoff on my 190. $28.5k-ish range. I only paid $30k for it 4 years ago!

If I was a single guy, I would be selling everything I own and living in a rental until the market collapsed and I could rebuy all the things for cheap.

 

[BlkGS]

Part of me thinks shit is so overbought right now that the market simply can't drop. People would just be too upside down to fail.

Jokes aside, I don't see a supply side change coming soon. All of these are things that take time to ramp back up. Houses, boats, cars... You can't just poof a crap load into existence, and the more you expedite them to market, the more expensive they become.

We bought our house in August. It's easily gone up in value 50 to 60k since then.

We are expecting our first child so I don't expect much boating time for a year or so, but I'm also hesitant because it was a huge pain to find my boat the first time, I can only imagine how tough it will be in the future.

I mean average retail on NADA with no upgrades (and I have a bunch) is $24,200 on my boat. That is a little more than I paid for it new if I remember right. With my upgrades and the trailer, NADA has it at $27,300.

If I hit a rock this year due to low water and sink her, it wouldn't break my heart completely (and yes, we will have low water conditions this year but I doubt I'll hit a rock lol).

We have a lake home in northern Wis, we got a letter from someone asking to buy it. Weird. And its weird because we live in AK so it wasn't just a letter dropped in our mailbox, they had to dig up our AK address. Bought our lake house for $400K and a similar one sold for $700K. Insane. I heard rental cars are tight this summer. Strange times.
