Where is "here", cchesley?
In Response To: The problem here is ()

Or do you mean in general? Certainly more boats are going to flood the used market! I'm amazed at how low asking prices are and how the non-value boats are growing in number and length.

But I sort of see another trend of boomers taking some new paths instead of the regular retirement routes.

I've had an older guy store his boat next to me for a few years. He has an old wooden boat that's sort of gotten away from him. But a similar battle is being fought by many aging boat owners. A yard worker told me the guy would be storing his old woodie at home this fall.

I asked, "so he's going to do some work on it?"

the yard guy said, "Nope. Next step is compost"
