As some of you know, I've sold my AZ46 and am looking around for a replacement. I've spoken to a few brokers and the message I'm getting is that the market for used 45 - 50 footers is patchy and that there are too many boats chasing too few buyers. In fact, one broker strongly advised me to hold back on buying another boat for 1-2 months because in his view prices are about to 'collapse'
His scenario is based on a further interest rate rise after the election, tax rises around the corner, some parts of the economy not doing as well as Grabber Gordon would have us believe and red diesel dissapearing in a couple of years. He says new boat sales have also dived (not for all models, some are still selling well)in the last few months despite what the dealers say and the reduced attendance at Excel was evidence of this. Anyone for a Targa 52? Apparently, Fairline have reduced the list price!
Anyone got any views on this? Is he talking bollox?
