Actually, many builders make similar boats to the ones GB markets. Those
who really know boats know you pay for the name with GBs.

==============================================

With used boats or used anything, price is all about supply and
demand. There are always plenty of GBs for sale so we can conclude
the supply is good.

Is it possible that prices are higher because the demand is high?

Take a look at some 20 year old GBs and then take a look at some of
the 20 y/o brand X competition and you will get some inkling of why
that is so. You will need to leave Kansas for this comparison, but
either coast will do.

The GBs are not perfect by any means but the basic structural
components are very high quality and that is why they have outlasted
the others. The appearance and overall design is timeless and very
well balanced also. They turn heads everywhere.

Since mine is parked in front of my office window all week when I'm at
home, appearance definitely counts.
