Yesterday the Daily Telegraph reccomended people in the process of buying houses reduce their offer by up to 20%. What is the prediction for boat prices?
I must say I thought it was a very poor piece of journalism given the current situation.It always depends on who has the upperhand at the time ... whether buyers or sellers market.
If you want a common boat - you can beat price down substantially - always have been able to .... but if its rather special and limited availability ? Your chances then are very lucky if you can.
Sadly such as DT making such comment to me is poor taste - coming on the back of reduced work / income ... casualties of virus ...
I know we all want gold for price of iron ... but on the backs of so much suffering ?
How are you going to go and view them.
I have mentally written off the entire value in my boat and my shares so any that remains when this is over will be like a little lottery win!
And you haven't decided on the asking price yet!Well, on a positive note when all this is over I think people will be rushing out to get to sea and enjoy their hobbies. Instead of going down it may just go up. I'm in the up brigade with all the other upstanding members. If you want early dibs on my tub, I'm accepting offers at 200% of the asking price. Grab yourself a bargain now

All my boats (4) are paid for ...owe me nothing ... no marina fees etc.
We had an email this morning confirming our marina fees have been cancelled until further notice - we didn't ask for this BTW. (Swansea Marina)
Brilliant ...
Not sure I agree, after all we pay to keep our boats in a marina and that hasn’t changed. My river licence fee is another mater though.Let’s hope MDL reimburse those who have paid for the season already or at least reduce next season significantly !
Other marinas are available .

I don't blame the people for dropping out. It's a tough call, my wife and I are in the process of buying our first boat and have had some serious discussions about pulling out ourselves. We've paid the deposit and were due a sea trial tomorrow, obviously on hold now but we're going to hang in there as it's a lovely boat. Feel a bit for the owners though as they're still paying the Marina fees.Chap I know has just had his buyer pull out, he decided not to buy until the fuss is over.
