Thanks I will check it out!!
I dont think the season is all that is effecting the price of boats. You always hear people saying that they want a boat but after they buy one they find out that having a boat takes work. People dont understand that one has to put the effort (and money) into maintaining a boat with cleaning, winterization and so forth. After they figure this out they lose interest. I drive by three rv/boat storage lots every day and they are loaded with boats. I have watched these lots to see what boats are coming and going. The
thing is only a couple of boats are being used regularly. The others just sit and rot. In one lot there are two really nice rangers that havent moved for two years!! So people think since they havent used there boats much they are worth what they paid originaly. You always see ads stating "boat has just been sitting there" or "hasn't been used in fiver years". Mybe I should start a service for people offering to take these boats out for five or six hours for a test run to "make sure they are running ok". I will take my poles for safety purposes only.[
