I bought my MaXum 2500 new in 1990. First boat. Only 'new' conveyance
I've ever bought. I bought the biggest boat I could put on a trailer
without getting totally ridiculous, so I wouldn't have to trade up soon,
and knew when I bought it I would be happy with it for years. 17 years,
and still satisfied with what I have. Just perfect for the Sound and San
Juans. No 2-foot-itis here, and, no slip fees.

I was wondering if there are any stats on how long people actually
keep their boat. Like if they buy a new runabout or cuddie etc. how
long do they actually keep it, before selling it or trading it in for
a new model.

some people keep cars a year then trade for new, others buy new and
run the wheels off it.

I've never bought a brand new boat in my life and really don't plan on
it. My two boats are 1983 and 1977. Both in very good shape and will
be keeping them for quite a while.

Does anyone know what is the average trade off or average length of
ownership is for boats?
