Wanaflatsfish Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I was looking over the FACEBOOK MHP page and saw my PF22, 2005 for sale. Yes, I"m sure it is her.....they have her up for sale for $29K for a F150 (rebuilt power head), JP, Trolling Motor, Ameritrail, etc. How does the price of a PF22 go up by $6K in 9 years. I sold her back in 2012 for $23K....I now know, the market is completely out of control....I wish the seller a good sale and he / she gets the price......but, it seems like there is NO end to the madness and shortage of boats, engines, parts, etc. I am so happy I have the Ghost restored and ready to run this fall....I can never replace her for what I have into her with anything similar in price or performance....my 2 smoker, 115, while a 1995, my mechanic stated it's brand new and compression perfect, water jackets and all cooling system new... My greatest fear is someone hitting me from behind in traffic DC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Agree Wanna, prices are crazy. As far as getting rear ended, install BIG RED lights on the trailer and a removable crash bar with BIG spikes on it. That will teach them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hobo Posted August 30, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Good morning Dino my-friend,,,, You are "right-on" about the current crazy boat market and I see no end in sight... A couple of weeks ago I had a local doctor (dead serious) offer me $14K more for my 2005 2200TE than what I paid for it last July... It is not for sale!! I never thought I would see the day when I would have a Pathfinder with a T-Top on it but I'm slowly getting used to it and I've only broken two rods on it so far... That shade is certainly appreciated and enjoyed on these 100+ degree heat index days I woiuld really like to see your little "GHOST" boat.. It really sounds nice... It is an HPX-V isnt it??? I've had two of the HPX-T's and one HPX-V... I want to find another of either model HPX's for a project boat... --------------< "){{{{*>< 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh B Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yes... it's out of control. It's the reason I sold my old boat and also the reason I'm rebuilding a broken boat, because I looked for months and couldn't bring myself to pay the asking prices that are out there right now. I keep hoping we'll see a major correction in prices when the market crashes, but if I've been saying that for years now and there's a good chance it will just keep going and I'll be some salty old guy complaining about how high the prices are... still... ha ha If you have something you love, keep it... if you don't love it, sell it and take the profits. Then convince one of your buddies to buy something you love and take you fishing. Josh B. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linesider 159 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yes the used market is ridiculous, and I'm in the industry. I ended up selling my boat and ordering a brand new one because it made more financial sense (since when has that been a thing??) Used 1990 era hewes are fetching12-15k when they couldn't sell for 8k 2 years ago. I'm at the point where you can either spend the money and enjoy life or potentially wait a couple years to save a few bucks, hoping you're still in good health.

jensenjeff Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Just be patient. In about 2 years the market will be flooded with 3 to 4 year old boats that the green peas decided was not for them or their pocketbooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then I'll keep playing with a paid off boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
