On a trade? Probably.

Retail sale - check nada.com for a pretty accurate retail price.

Is there any chance you are taking a single example offered for a
quick sale and using that as a brush to paint the entire product line
of two well-respected companies?

If you have more data from several sales of same product as well as of
similar product from other mfgs. please share so that statistical
inferences can be made.

If you think Honda & Yamaha are bad for depreciation you should see
what a used Ficht or optimax is worth, assuming anyone will buy them at
all:-)

More bullship from Karen Smith, who doesn't know her ass from the side
of a barn, probably because they're the same size and color.

Harry,

How could you stoop so low??? :=)))))))

Might have had something to do with Smith's post, in which she
insinuated she knew something of significance about the resale value of
used "hi-tech" outboard motors in the United States.

Have any real data to back your wild allegations up, or just spewing
crap out of your blow hole, as usual?

You got any data? Look at the discounts that dealers were offering. Look
at the questions of reliability. The perception of the Ficht was they were
failing. And that perception leads to a heavy discount when selling. Plus
all the questions that were on this board and all the fishing / boating
boards about parts availability. That in and of itself lowers the price.
If I was in the market for a used O/B I would look at Yami, and Hondas, and
Merc's over the OMC, just because of the perception.

The persons who were defending ficht when it had an admitted 20% failure
rate, when warranty claims were exceeding eight+ million dollars, and
which sent OMC into bankruptcy are the same persons who are *still*
defending it now.
