Yes, and if you are talking about buying a 3-4 year old boat many of these are resold by the original dealer, so there probably is a high level of distortion in the reported prices of those boats.

But after 5 years, the dealer doesn't care or the boats are sold by independent brokers, so the reported priced becomes fairly accurate.

I trust Soldboats more than any other source.
