How many times does one see a fully decked out boat, a few years old,
that some retiree is selling because they found out they don't like
sailing (once the novelty wears off) or they suffered some physical
injury (like a blown disc from hauling an anchor the wrong way) or their
health is failing?


That is the boat I'll be looking for.


That type of boat is a great value. Someone else took the hit on the
depreciation, you're in a position of strength negotiating price and the
boat is lightly used. You might look inland and up north. I've seen a number
of large boats used in lakes in the Rockies going at fire sale prices. They
aren't listed with brokers, try Craigslist.
