I will be doing this next year at this time, until then my 92 Javelin 389T continues to get the job done! There's good deals on here, too, and BBC. Smart decision and don't forget to negotiate a little. 😎 Dallas Cowboys....eventual Superbowl Champions 😎

There's a tremendous number of used, like new boats for sale that will still carry a warranty. That's the best advice that I can give. Brands of boats and motors are too subjective for me to comment on.... Have you seen how good bass boats are holding their value these days? I bought a Legend Alpha 199 like 7 or 8 years ago. Paid $43K. Had it for almost 6 years then sold its for $39K. Only thing I added was a 2nd power pole. Not sure exactly how they are going today but from what I've heard that is still happening.

I guess I'm just going off of my own perspective. In 2019, I bought a 2018 that listed for $75K new that had 16 hours on it. I paid $52.5K. There's always deals out there if you look hard enough. I do not disagree with the fact that nice, used boats are holding their value at an unbelievable rate. Best I've ever seen, especially since Covid. 😎 Dallas Cowboys....eventual Superbowl Champions 😎

I've always tended to agree with your thought process on this but it's been crazy over the last several years and yes especially this year with VERY limited new boats available to purchase

Well, the OP did ask what “I “, “we” would buy, so yes, I am the “beholder”.

It was listed at 75K , listed is the key word, sold for is the key phrase. Yes used boats are at an all time high for resale, not sure this trend will last much longer, sell high then buy low.
