No, I don't think that's a good way to look at it. I think his price is fair. By your math, if you wait 5 years it'll be worth $10K. These boats are near the bottom of the depreciation if well cared for. Now in 10 years we'll see a more significant drop, but in 10 years we may belong to Canada if the economy doesn't shape up soon.
Em I think you're getting a very nice boat at a great price.
Again best of luck.
Thanks Nehalennia. I went back through the listings on boattrader.com and continue to believe that it appears to be a nice boat at a good price. I'll know better tommorrow.
