"2001’s" becoming...overpriced?

If I remember correctly, this Barefoot was listed pretty high as well. Not sure if it was this one or not, but wasnt one was listed around $25k not too long ago?

....I wouldn't be concerned about it Nate. My neighbor sold an 88' BFN last year that was in prime condition with low hours and after 4 months of trying to sell it, he finally took $11,700. I think it's hard for most people to ante up more than about $2500 over a regular Nautique to get that hull and a 454.   

i think most nautiques(used) are overpriced......just my opinion.

nate and ryan, Overpriced and high priced are two slightly different scenarios IMO, with only one being justifiable. Anyone that already has one would like them to stay as high priced as possible. Try and remember also that asking price and actual selling price are often quite different. I agree with you that many just throw a high number out there to hopefully get a bite, as we've seen plenty out there like that still listed here. If any particular boat sells for a specifically high amount, then to me it's worth it to someone and then a benchmark is established and prices creep upwards. Anything legitimately becomes worth (or appraised) what someone will consistently pay for it. I don't necessarily like it as it's kept me from getting many a car I'd like to have had. And I don't know if it's a direct correlation but consider that a clean 35-40 yr old Ford Mustang typically sells for more than a 15-20 yr old model. In our cases, although it may become hard on the pocketbook, it's actually good for the breed I hope. So buy as soon as you can.       

supply and demand, just like muscle cars, you get guys with pocketfuls of money driving the price of the boats to the where they are at now. The popularity of wake boarding has a lot to do with it. one thing you'll never have a problem with is selling a Correct Craft. I bought mine new in 1996, had it for 4 years and put on line somewhere, I probably got 100 calls and some kid sent me a check site unseen for 2k less for what i paid 4 years earlier. I had no problems selling the boat. buy a new car and see what its worth the day you drive it out of the dealership, one of the worst lets say.. investments you can make. now go buy a CC they hold and possibly increase in value.

I second that
