Went to the boat show Thursday at noon with my buddy who's up from the
British Virgin Islands.
Seemed to be the same old..same old. Lots of motor boats with only a
small amount of sailboats.You'd think a shift would start after the gas
price scare last year.
I was mostly checking out side console type aluminum boats as an upgrade
from my Yukon 15.
Prices still seem hefty.... at least three times what I paid for the
Yukon. I'd better wait & see what's left in my wallet after I purchase a
new SUV next month.
Just to make it interesting, we had quite a snowstorm that
day...starting as we drove out.


Maybe hold off on the SUV, might be able to get a GM SUV on firesale in a
few months. Maybe 40-50% off MSRP for cash buyers.


Would that come with..or without a warranty? ;-)


Probably without. LOL. Does anyone expect GM to last the year?

But give me a new undamaged not seconds Sierra 3500HD with long box and
leather, Duramax auto and all trailer/towing options in a 4x4 for say $20K I
will live with a 90 day waranty. That way if I need a $10K fix, I am
assured value. Oh, and the wife demands heated seats...

Call it depression pricing. If I had to pay more, would look at a
F350-Lariat. Have a F150-Lariat, nice ride. Because many seem to be on
sacrifice sale right now.
