Way out of control fo' shizzle. That's why I bought a Laser. More bang for the buck. I did very well for my consumer $$$
Just got the new Hot Boat.
Are the prices of boats way out of control or is it just me.....
130,000 for a 27 V bottom with a 525.
34,500 for a lightning with a 250HP 350.....

Yea thats nuts I'm so poor I have to fix up old used boats...
Then again I still think 35000.00 is way to much for a new truck too.

that's why we bought a 91
Definately out of control. However, that 22' Cougar MTR for about $59K seemed very reasonable by todays standards. Nice Boat.
I agree way overpriced. But as long as their are those who are willing to pay the prices it will continue to get even higher. I wonder if boat sales got real slow and sales were way off if the builders would lower the prices? Most builders say it is merc that raises the price every year 2 to 3 percent. Myself I think thier is more to it than that ..........GREED. MY 02
Can you say "Home Equity loan"? Boat builders will continue to sell 150K boats as long as people will hock their houses to buy them! It used to be that you got a car-type loan for a boat but nowadays you get an RV loan or a second on your house. Pretty insane to use equity from an appreciating asset to purchase one that will depreciate 20% in the first year. Regardless, the boat companies will raise prices as long as demand is strong. Personally, looking at Ultra's new prices, I don't see how I could justify dropping 50K on a 21ft boat with a small block.
good point high roller. What cracks me up is how much bigger the boats are getting for use on the river the bigger the boat the bigger the price. I feel it will someday go back to the smaller boats at the river if not soon than someday. Look at the boat trader alot of good used boats for sale. what i mean by smaller is 21 to 25 range.
Hot Boat has a magazine
It is hard to believe the prices these days, you want to play with the big boys you have to pay:yuk:
