Your right, timing is everything
Your one of the lucky ones! If you were lucky enough to be able to strike fast after the storm, you could get a pretty good even decent buy and allow yourself the winter to customize and work on it. We had quite a flurry once the dust settled after the storm. That stuff is really tough to come by now. Don't get me wrong, there's still deals out there but you have to look for a diamond in the rough. Another thing I've noticed is a lot of the boats I've sold in the past few years have left the state which means we likely don't get them back to sell again.
A lot of people along with losing a boat also lost a home or had it damaged so when the boat check came in the mail it got put towards home repairs.
The market will come back...I don't think this year or even next, too many things working against it right now if you know what I mean
and once it does the market will be flooded with good buys driving the price of new boats down a bit to compete with everyone else.....AT least that's what I'm holding out for!
