Optimistic Pricing ?

[nicho]

We sold our Bavaria last year for a bit above what we paid for it…..but not that much! We currently have a new motorhome on order, and they have gone up hugely (not least because Fiat put the Ducato cabs up by over £3k overnight). Our plan is to use this for a couple of years, then return to boats when I am 80, and fed up with travelling throughout the uK. Boat wise, we will look for a Sealine S34, and use it in the Solent to the best of our ability, or simply stay in the marina and chill out!! I trust prices will have settled a little by then, with 1999/2001 S34’s currently asking £90k, and one in Scotland at an eye watering £109.950!

The S34 was also one I was looking at back in around 2018. If I remember correctly they were around £70k then for a decent one with a pair of KAD 32s

2 years ago I would have happily sold my 2002 S37 for 100k Now S34’s are going for that. Hence upped my insurance this year.
S34 excellent choice of boat by the way.

Yes, with a couple around £60k, and even one at £55k, which had Mercruisers and looked a bit of a dog. We’ve got a couple of years before looking, so hopefully the market will look a bit more sensible by then.

We’ve got a couple of years before looking, so hopefully the market will look a bit more sensible by then. We have always had Sealines from a 255 to an S37, S41 and S48, apart that is from one disastrous time with a Cranchi Endurance 39. The S34 will be quite adequate to live aboard for a couple of weeks or so - one with AD41’s would be perfect, but not too many about with those fantastic, non electronic engines.

We had an S34 and it was a great boat. Price wise they tended to vary (we viewed quite a few) and good ones could still be a bit expensive pre-Covid price hikes but you got what you paid for. We paid top end as it was a stock boat that had only just been put on the market. We sold for a bit more as we came out of lockdown in 2020 but we had spent a lot on it so it was a net loss. It has just been sold again and was asking quite a bit more and given the state of the market and the popularity of the model I am guessing that it probably achieved asking price or near to it.

Sealine S34 Used Boat for Sale 2004

A Turbo is worth 40-50k a Corniche 30-40k. Those prices are over inflated, and if the World gets back to normal by mid this year will di-inflate faster then a bubble.

They're worth what someone will pay for them.

Which right now seems to be rather a lot!

 

[Galley Slave]

Nicho, you are absolutely right, the s34 with ad41’s are perfect. we have one and the boat loves to stretch her legs when we let her

One thing I noticed on the “what boat do you have“ thread is that there didn’t seem to be two boats the same.
However is the S34 the most ‘occurring’ boat on this forum?
Apologies oldgit for severe thread drift,

Don't know the answer to that but I recon it is a right good boat........ Unless of course you are a Sealine Hater

I got £95k for my F33. Was underoffer within 1:30hr of it being live, Only took 4 days from listing to completion.

I paid £50k for it in december

I can't imagine why it was let go at such a low price as £50k but clearly you picked up a bargain and sold at top price. Must be a candidate for deal of the decade .

Boat prices up , used car prices up, house prices up, cost off living up , interest rates up, and now inflation on the up, not just in the uk and ireland ( where I live ) but the world over , the bubble is going to burst , were over due for a good recession.

I was looking to buy a boat this year too, kids growing up and off to uni so some long overdue play time awaits! But don't want to pay massively over the odds for a boat. A nice Sunseeker Monterey has caught my eye but at £25k I'm thinking it's on the high side??

 

[Seastoke]

No ?? The chap i brought it from was in his late 80's & barely used it the last few years due to Covid. he just wanted a quick sale

Was is name old git

The one In Poole for sale? I know the chap, sold that boat to him a few years back

 

[Chawks]

Yep that's the one. Looks very tidy to be fair

I'd be inclined to agree with you were it not for the fact that the bubble has been 'about to burst' for the last decade.

Impossible to second guess what happens next, we're into uncharted waters with the government propping up house prices, printing money, and inflation meaning that money is becoming worth steadily less (are boats really 25% dearer, or does the same amount of money just buy 25% less than it used to?).

He's done alot to it compared to its condition when i sold it, probably worth it

I always think at this cold and wet time of year it is good to keep positive and cheer people up don’t you.
