[QUOTE="SLE, post: 321107, member: 3889"] Well boys, that's a combination of high demand and ridiculous inflation. And as long our treasury department keeps printing money like drunken sailors and giving it away for free with interest basically at 0% outa the federal reserve, it's not gonna get any better. Unfortunately, sticking to the Ramsey's cash idea isn't quite as stellar when the you can borrow for almost nothing an pull in 8-12% in the market without even trying. Hence the inflation flying through the roof. Lots of factors, but the reason those 20 year old boats are $20k is because the new ones are $120k. Its all relative. There are lots of guys that bought new boats, ran them for 3-5 years and were able to sell them close to what they paid new, I'm one of those guys. However, the flip side of that was that same boat to buy new had increased $20k over that 3-5 year period. At the end of the day, your gonna pay to play no matter, so pick the poison that fits your budget!
