First how can they raise the value like that when the boat is a year older, and how can I fight this value, there is now way my boat is worth that much, you can buy a new one for that much money! Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I think my boat is worth about $20,000.00, but I dont think I could get close to that amount with the economy the way it is. Has anyone ever had to deal with this, if so, I would really like your help, or suggestions.
