The boat re-sale market has changed considerably over the past few
months.


Up here in BC, seeing the opposite, mind you I'm watching 20'bowriders
mostly, not bathtubs with parachutes :-)

As economy perks along at full tilt more and more are buying, and with
such
a strong canuck dollar american boats looked good but now they are trying
to gouge canuck buyers. Ads on craiglist and such are $k's higher than
just a few months ago as they try to take advantage of CAN$.


So what you are telling me is that I should have charged Don more for
my boat than I did?

Damn - now he tells me. :)


I should have got you to hold the boat a couple of months for me. The way
your yankee dollah is slidin', it would seem like I was getting your boat
almost free by paying in American cash. I heard today the loonie was worth
$1.04 US.
