IMHO boats depreciate 20% year one and then 10% each year after that until they reach 50% If a boat is brokered then the client makes the final call on what they will or will not take. Some people are more anxious to sell the boat and some stubbornly stick to what they want versus what the market is bearing for their boat.

Go online and look at boat trader and yacht world and see what the asking price is for boats that you want to buy. It will help you get a feel for the market. If you are buying through a marina that have access to closed sales and should be willing to show you those sales. If not go someplace else.

No matter what you do before you buy any used boat and some say even a new boat you must have it surveyed.

Good luck and happy hunting.
