Default Boat selling

If someone was say, wanting to maybe get into a lil bit bigger boat,but wasn't in a real hurry. In your opinions, what would be some good reasons to sell your existing boat like sooner than say waiting for a year or so? Is there a certain amount of years,that after that time the boat "really" starts depreciating in value?

if its like a truck, once it reaches a certain age it will stop depreciating and hold its value according to condition..... just a thought but I figure you are wanting to get rid of it before its that old and then theres the flip side of all this and thats the boats that seam to gain in value with age.... good luck with that chance though

Pathfinder holds blue book value better than most....selling now or waiting a year won't make much difference. You should look into a blue wave pure bay 24 when you are ready. Rode in one saturday.....one of if not the best riding bay boat I ever been in.
