Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

its a little suspect as I saw that same boat for sale out of bellingham weeks ago... something seems fishy pun intended

heres another link to it


maybe hes posting in the USA as well
Yes, he’s cross posting on a couple of sites. It’s on the Vancouver Salmon Fishing page too on Facebook. He’s a local guy, I’ve chatted with him a few times over the years about what’s working, went out fishing, etc.

He is now a two-boat owner when he probably does not want to be. I think that asking price is a reasonable.
 

Anyone checked this out? Guessing it’s 18.5 or 19 + pod. Maybe underpowered. Looks like a lot of aluminum for 40k. Kicked tires with the lady posting the Facebook ad, weird situation she mentioned 2 owners, one over 75, one not in BC… Too good to be true?

What year does she say it is? Canvas looks bright and almost new? Love the cooler situation. The mercury 75-115hp are the same block. I think it would be fine with two people under 200lbs but would struggle a little bit with a full cooler and 3 people 2 of which are over 250. That's my experience running a 18 foot hewescraft with a 115 Yamaha.
 
Roger, I'm not posting any US boats until the tariffs come off.
I’ve been debating the whole future boat prices with myself for a while and am loosing the battle (aka continuing to make due with my <$20k rig):

Tariffs, inflation etc = increased boat prices

Recession and decreased discretionary spending (less demand/more supply) = reduced boat prices…

Does someone have a M.Sc in economics or perhaps just a few more grey hairs then I, and a magic 8 ball that cares to weigh in on which way prices are going?

Super curious.

Tariffs would make our aluminum more expensive to usa. . Dropping demand for it.. freeing up more of it for local consumption.. at possibly cheaper rates if there is a surplus. . 25% more for boats to be exported to USA would take demand down for our local builders... Maybe lower demand and cheaper input costs will equate to cheaper local options. I cant see hewescraft / north river or anything state side getting cheaper here over the short term. Uncertanty and less money all around should drop used prices. We are already seeing retail prices dropping, I think its a matter of time until the used market follows. I think the whole market was overheated before all the crazy down south started 5 weeks ago.

Stay the course! Hold tight, wait! **** will tank with a recession around the corner.
