Interesting- do you think it's a supply/demand issue? With housing values having declined in many areas, it seems it could be that overextended folks with boats paid for with home equity might be quick to the liquidation market. Hence the lower demand, which would seem to lower the prices even further. There are certainly a ton of boats for sale for cheap on the cape and south coast this year.
