This was great, thanks, I have been researching "do all boats have a hin?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Siyichael Mysterious Smasher - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for discovering how to get a cheap boat title report without the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
I have been boating since 2006. Bout my first 185ls stingray ant the show for 21500. Had a blast. Sold it in 2018 for 13000. Bought a 2011 208 stingray with 100 hours for 18500. Had an offer this year for 30000. I say if you buy used and right. Boating won’t cost you much more than fuel amd insurance . I had even better experience with my jet skis.
Going to a boat dealer tomorrow for the first time in the looking/talking/buying process.I've never bought a new car from a dealer much less a boat and am fearing the worst ie. getting the stereotypical "salesman" routine/treatment and being taken advantage of.I can only hope they are as genuine and level headed as you seem to be.
I have a 2023 Yamaha 195S,, and the wifey wants the 222SD. I reached out to the dealer I bought my boat from and he wanted to give me absolutely no money for the trade. Kinda surprised with only 14 or 15 hours on my boat. Maybe hit up another dealer. The 195S is a great little boat, but as they say, happy wife, happy life.
As a subscriber, I just keep getting more and more great info from you guys! I almost feel I need to one day, make the trek from Toronto to Portland to trade in our bow rider. Fantastic channel. Thank you for this. 🇨🇦👍🏼
Years back I built a 300 ft wooden boat with berths for my family and plenty of space for a variety of animals. It was a great time to build a boat because it ended up raining for a few years and everything flooded. Guys with little center consoles didn’t fare well.
All this said ..ove read alot of the comments. I bought and read a thos book. How to buy and sell new and used cars. The concept is the same. Know the market. The best way to Buy Anything is from a distressed seller. Have money/cash Cash is King.
Well that stinks, I already broke #2. They actually told me to sell it myself to get more. Also, price difference right now between a 2020 and a 2019, same boat, same electronics and TM, on their lot I’m looking at statewide, is at least 6k. Varies by 2-4-/+ k nation wide. Last year I waited and they ran out, or the dealer added all kinds of upgrades, useless to me, and the price stayed or exceeded original price. I’ve found timing the purchase of a boat has been a huge struggle!
That is why you should make a good relationship with your local dealer that has the brand you want. Tell them your struggles, and ask for help. If they aren't receptive, look for the highest rated dealer as close to you as possible.
In general yes. This year (and last) saw all boat values hold pretty firm year round due to the low supply. It may take another year or so to get back to “normal “
Maybe buying in winter and selling in summer will put all 16 of your children through the finest college. Also said 16 children will get to experience the water.
Have you experienced buying a boat in the off season? Did you experience any drawbacks?

Isaias Medina replying so I can come back for the hin lookup
What’s the cost?
I purchased an outboard going into the Thanksgiving holiday (US). I bought the outboard 10% under MSRP and a 3 year warranty extension.
@@britishsouth that’s great!

That is so nice for you to say, thank you!! If you want some more tips before, just shoot me a text at 613-272-2581 and we can connect :)
Just bought one yesterday !! A new Lund.

That is unfortunate. That boat should have only depreciated about 15% at retail in one year (max)
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight. Best wishes,
Our pleasure and same to you George and Sara!

Such a nice thing for you to say Barry! Glad it is helpful :-)

🤣🤣🤣 Underrated comment!
It's always summer in Florida $$$ 😏
Yep. Was there for 8 years. 89-96
Bought a used 2018 Boston Whaler 130 a few weeks ago for NADA Book Value, which is a great deal in this market if you ask me!
I buy my boats like i do my vehicles, last day of the month in a snowstorm
Lol, hopefully no snowstorms in boating season! 🤣
Can you do a similar one on the best time of year to buy a used boat - either privately or via dealer? Thanks
Hi dear do you need help getting a new boat?

How to buy and sell new and used cars.

Great info. Thanks.
Our pleasure Chris!
Unless your in the sunshine state!
1.5 playback ✅
1.25 is just right.
Awesome video
Thank you!
Rather amazing that people take purchase advice from the guy selling.
When will boat prices return to normal?
When people with money pay their fair share of Taxes.

Len's Cove Lessons in Boating thank you and will do!
I brought my boat in September
That is likely a good move from a pricing standpoint!
@@boatinglessons Got mine this November!
@@michaelpiller1513 good plan - ready for next year?!
Does this apply for new boats
Hi dear do you need help getting a boat
Is this the same for Used Boats?
In general yes. This year (and last) saw all boat values hold pretty firm year round due to the low supply. It may take another year or so to get back to “normal “
Is this true in Florida
I am not 100% confident the same thing is true in Florida. The seasons are reversed a bit.
Maybe buying in winter and selling in summer will put all 16 of your children through the finest college. Also said 16 children will get to experience the water.
Ha... when you have a pocket full of money and WANT a boat is the best time to buy. LOL
Yes, correct - no point buying one if your don't want one @ededelenbos :-)
@@boatinglessons Honestly not meant as a put down! Just the perfect advice. It just hit my funny bone though.
Hi dear do you need help getting a boat
Lol. A relationship business. Let's have a sausage fest on showroom flior.
Rich people throw trash away all year round. Any time is a good time to buy trash from the rich....find a dumb one.....and save dough
Interesting perspective. We will keep an eye out for these ;)
