He talks about boat cost with age at about the 14min mark, the rest of the data is pretty interesting, but his data shows a continued price drop past 10 years. |

Re: Used Cat market in the next 10 years
Thanks! I actually just finished his interview with the broker about regional and seasonal pricing. Excited to give this one a watch.

Re: Used Cat market in the next 10 years
I think catamaran prices are going down - but only because the boats are getting older. Older boats and older designs are just not worth as much.
Look at newer boat prices and they have definitely gone up. I'd guess that the price has increased by about 6 feet over the last 15 years. In other words, what a 44' costs today is what a 50' cost 15 years ago.

Re: Used Cat market in the next 10 years
I don't foresee unusual changes other than the expected one of more older cats becoming available so older cats may become slightly more affordable. Cats aren't new anymore, no use thinking they will change the sailing world overnight. May go from 7% to 8% of the sailboat market. The price precludes most would be buyers.
Boats value goes down as it gets older...with a few exceptions. Good luck getting top dollar for a 40 year old boat. |

Re: Used Cat market in the next 10 years
Thank you to everyone who has replied some great info and further resources for me to look at. We will be in the market for a ocean going boat in about 10 years and I'm getting serious about our retirement planning and have started researching now. Our plan is to spend 6-7 months a year on the boat and the rest of the year in an RV. I'm hoping that the large numbers of Cats being sold now will result in somewhat lower prices and more options to choose from by then. My DH would prefer a trawler (stabilized) and I'd prefer a catamaran. I know we are backwards the wife wants a sailboat and the husband a power boat lol. We plan to do a crewed charter in the next year or so and I think I can convert him to the Cat...we can get one with engines after all
