I am going to look at a trawler on Wednesday that is priced at twice what others the model and size are listed for, but it appears that it is very well maintained, has a ton of updated equipment, and ready to cruise. I quess I could by a cheaper one and spend two years fixing it up, but I will be 70 next year, and that would take a big chunk out of my time left.

What you described is exactly what I think the root cause is when paople have a difficult time buying a boat.
I know it comes as a shock to people that what they think is a lot of money is not enough to buy a good condition boat in the size they want.
