    Nothing 19 ft - this seems like very popular for folks who have a regular garage and don't want to pay for storage. Be curious to do this for smaller boats.

    Damn I was hoping to see some boats for 10-15 k that’s all I can afford sadly. Any good things to look for in an older fiberglass boat ?

    Champion hands down.. Bought my first one for $5k fished out of it for several years then sold it for $10K. Consistently I see them sell for close to what they originally cost brand new

      I have a 196, I got it with a decent trailer and locked up engine for only 2500, hull and transom were solid. During 2020, rebuilt the engine and restored the boat, including a beefed up transom, new electronics, trolling motor, and this year she's getting a new trailer. Less than 10k in it and it performs amazing.

    Thanks for doing the research an breaking it down. As you've said, the sample sizes are so small with the bass boat market its hard to keep on top of current trends but you do it better than anyone I've seen. Sure a hell of a lot better than just spouting out, "My brand holds it's value way better!"

    Not that it is relevant anymore, but I am on my 2nd Legend. The first one, I paid $24k, I sold it 5 years later for $25k. Last year, I got one of the last V21 they made for $50k and have been offered $55k for it twice. As you said "pre White River" boats are built different.

    Boats are worth what you can get out of them at sell. Rangers has a reputation for quality and being able to market. However Nitro are the best deals for cost new to reselling, Nitro owners will take less of a hit than any brand.

      Yep. Wide open, or nothing. He would shut down and water would end up to the seats from backwash. Would be backing up at idle speed, then, SLAM it into gear and floor it. I realize it's a "tool" for them, but GEEZZ. @@KenSmithFishing

    You have accumulated quite the data base of used and new boats. Maybe you should consider putting that knowledge to work for yourself and become a 'personal shopper' for people that don't have the time or resources to do it themselves?
