Folks are also apparently baling out of the 32' to 45' used power boat
market due to increased fuel prices.

From the May 2008 edition of Boat/US power trade or sale:

14 feet to 24 feet - 21 ads
25 feet to 31 feet - 40 ads
32 feet to 45 feet - 157 ads
46+ feet - 10 ads

Although this may not be a true indicator of the market one has to
also consider the drop in stock prices of boat manufacturers.

Notice also that those who can afford the larger yachts are not baling
out (at least according to the Boat/US ads).

With dockside pump prices expected to exceed $5/gallon will you be
selling or limiting cruising your 32~45 footer?

This is a hot boating topic at the present time yet no replies.

Are there any boaters visiting this NG?

It seems the main discussions here involve insulting other members,
throwing negative comments towards boats NG members own, trolling for
fights or posting a variety of OT comments.

I thought this was a boating NG.

Sad.

I'm not sure that is a valid sample source. Most people selling
smaller boats are going to seek out less expensive ways that use more
localized advertising. If I had a 20 ft bowrider for sale that's
about the last place I'd advertise.

Good point. However, I have been a Boat/US member for years and have
never before seen the number of larger boats for sale.

Yeah, only a 12 year old would post a URL to someone holding a sign
saying something stupid, huh? Oh, wait, that's YOU that did that.....
