Have boat prices finally started to fall or is Premier Boating Centers in trouble? Or maybe they just added the MSRP to the listings and struck through it to make it seem like a deal?

I've been looking for a smaller skiff for the last few months and noticed today that these guys slashed prices in the last few days. They have a location near me in Lufkin so I haven't really poked around anywhere else besides boattrader and FB marketplace. Private sellers are now asking for more on a 3-4 year old boat than you can buy a brand new one for in some cases.

I want something smaller and more reliable than the old beater 20 ft '96 Pro Craft that I have. It's got a 225 that still runs strong but I've got 15 and 12 year old sons that I want to be able to go out and fish on their own, and that's just way too much boat. Something like this little Mako would be perfect:

What about a Regal/ Cobalt/ SeaRay cuddy cabin? They make some pretty sick options these days. If I could get two slips I would have one of those and the wake boat.

I had a Searay 245 Weekend years ago, it was well made.  A little underpowered with the 5.0L but it had a Bravo 3 drive and would still hit 38 mph.  I took it out of Freeport a few times to the rigs to fish.

Fuck, I totally forgot that CA now requires a Boater Card for any operator of a boat with a motor greater than 15 hp, or a sailboat greater than 30 ft with a motor.  It's been a requirement since 2018, but they phased it in by age.  As on 1/1/25, everybody has to have one.  $100 fine for the first offense, $250 for the second, and $500 for the 3rd.  My guess is they may be lax this first year.  But it's CA, so maybe not.  Doing an online course, and have it running in the background as you need to spend a certain amount of time on each section.  Fucking California.

I'm selling my 40' Cruisers Yacht 3870 if anyone is interested.  Asking $75k.  It's in the water now at Sail-n-Ski Lakeway, ready to be used.  It's a beautiful boat and in great working order.  Slip can be transferred.

Put it on FB Marketplace and let us know how many people offer you half of asking or if you let them make payments to you.  O/U will be set at 12.5.

I’d be interested at around $37500 if you’ll let me make payments. I can put $300 down and the slip lease prepaid for the term of the loan.
