In today's economy, a lot of buyers ask, "How come the prices of used boats have not budged?" There's one particular boat we sort of looked at two years ago that is still on Yachtworld today, at the same price.

I suspect the target market for a 50' Gulfstar is kind of small. And even for someone with cash in hand, the cost of care and feeding of such a big boat would be daunting. I know that boat's way out of my league. I sometimes think that concept to "too expensive to buy/keep" is totally lost on some people of a certain means.
