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

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

There was one on craigslist in tampa not too long ago, with a trailer, in that range.
Happy hunting

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.

There may be lots to look at on the East coast, but none on my side of the country. I would like to find a 20' that needs a little restoration. I live on Puget Sound and have yet to find any kind of Seacraft within 1500 miles of me. The local Craigs list averages probably 250 boat listings per day, not one Seacraft in eight months searching. I really do not look forward to driving all the way to Florida and then towing one all the way back.
