it seems like everything these days is being overpriced.just wait till this summer(gasoline)i have been to three different boat shows this year and the price on the new bass boats is unreal.most of the 18' boats with a 150hp is in the $30.000.00 range (after taxes and everything else).and in todays world this is a mid size bass boat.most of the dealers i talked to in tennessee and ky tell me they will finance a new or used boat now up to 15 years!!! in todays world with corporate takeovers,merger mania,company buyouts,and layoffs a lot of us will not even be working in 15 years!!! look at ford,chevy,and chrysler.they all are in big trouble.look how many employes the big three has laid off or will buy them out.not all of us are doctors and lawyers looking to buy a boat but most of us are the blue collar worker.i am afraid in the near future you will see a lot of dealers and boat mfg. go out of business because of the pricing of the boats and the economy.just my opinion.thanks
