I can't beleive all the Seacrafts for sale!
 
I am seeing more than ever in the past week, here, Craigslist, yachtworld, boattrader etc...and they are all at great prices comparatively. Those with premium Seacrafts asking premium prices will be tough sells. However there are alot of folks looking for SC.

The entire industry, both new and used is dead right now, especially in FL. The project boats are mostly under 1000, and anything that has a 5 year or older motor is having a hard time getting much past 10k. A lot of boat for the money to be had right now.

So why can't I find the 20 open that's is turnkey for under $4000, and with a new wengine with less than 50 hours, T top, livewell, new trailer outriggers?

Owned by a little old lady that just drove it to church and back :D :D
Oh and right down the street from me with a full tank of gas!!!

Just dreaming

But I am looking for a 20 open that needs some TLC without power

Just look at the chart of Brunswick stock symbol BC or West marine symbol WMAR. That should give you some indication where the boating market is headed. CNBC just had an expert on the tube predicting $120 for oil practically as a lock.

My local Contender dealer has a brand new 31 fisharound on his lot for about 9 months. T top, twin 250's etc. I called and they said perhaps they could knock off 10k from their 219k asking price last March. They are blowing the boat out with "0" hours for 155k now. IMO it will get alot worse at least here in Fla. :D

That is pretty much what I have seen,
A boat, even a seacraft, is not an investment, it is a luxury. When things get tight, they are usually the first thing to go.

FYI...the boat in Tampa needs a transom before any motor should be hung on it. I think that is more project than Jorge is looking for. I might bite if he was selling for what it's worth. Until then, the search continues!
