Guy I sold it to resold it this spring for 39000 with 1600 hrs on engines .
And that’s a typical price now .
Many boats that are 15-20 years old are selling for approx what they cost new in their year built .
Why, because new boat prices are insane .

Yes - no way we could afford to replace our boat @ these prices.. I think the best option for him might be to find and older high quality boat that might have older power on it and look to repower it. Not that any boat should be looked at as an investment but you won't get hurt as much going this route then you would if you bought a lesser brand new or newer and decided to sell it.
