Supply and demand always drives price, where those points meet on the price curve is called the equilibrium point which also the sales price. If demand does drop as PureBay said then a price drop will follow. It has absolutley nothing to do with getting what you paid for or what the boat should cost.

Casey, you receive an infraction for using too many "big words" on here such as equilibrium. There is no translator for "W".
On paper, there is no comparison between a Haynie, and a capped boat. The fit and finish is not even close. However, on paper and in "real life" are two different things. Every time I ride in W's I am amazed by its performance and its ability to get up on top of the waves. I would definitely consider purchasing one for my next boat. The Haynie makes no mistake about what it isn't: it's not a pleasure boat, ski boat, family boat, etc. It is a pure fishing machine and I can see how guides and other hardcore fisherman love these boats - not of whole lot of "purty" to have to worry about messing up.
I run a Triton and it's a great boat that is solid as a rock. But my Triton is just like everyone elses except for accessories. Not a bad thing, but the more I fish the more I wish I could tweak certain features, which is something you can't do with an assembly line boat.
But that's why we have a free market, to each his own. Especially in TX, where custom boat companies rule the market...
