I gave you a bum steer. The guy in Everett listed his boat by its LOA,
rather than the nominal length. Unusual practice, and I should have
caught it myself. Sorry.
The prices on Yachtworld are the asking prices of all the private
sellers represented by the brokers who participate in the service.
There is no single source for the pricing, so with a wide enough view
it will accurately reflect the "asking" (as in fondest dreams) pricing
of the market in general.
Most price guides don't reflect the boat market very well- explaining
why you can find a 30-40% variation sometimes between one guidebook and
the next. An accurate book, (if one existed), *would* report lower
prices than those seen in a general industry site (such as Yachtworld)
because the same people pay the asking price for a used boat that will
pay the window sticker price down at Joe's Used Car lot......(almost
nobody).
