I think it's part of the paradox of old boats.
Boat stuff is expensive, but sailboats are not. So you can spend 10K putting
a diesel in an old 27-footer ... and still have a 10-15K boat. A big reason
to buy the already-updated boat and not to buy a smaller boat with the
notion of moving up a few years later.
A few years ago, I saw a beautifully renovated Bristol 29.9 on Yachtworld
... for 65K. I'm sure the owner had that much into it, but no 29.9 is worth
even 25K these days.

I suspect it's more the "my boat is special" phenomenon.
Anyway, I just thought it was funny.
If any lister is interested in the boat at that price, contact me off
list and I'll sell you my swamp land in Florida, too!

I know we've all been shocked at the deflation in used boat prices
recently. If you're a buyer, it's a great market. If you're a
seller, not so much.
And fairly often you see boat listings from sellers who didn't get the
memo about the price deflation.
So last night I'm having dinner at the club and on the bulletin board
is an ad for a Mirage 24 (a C&C design). Looks like nice boat with
decent upgrades. Ad doesn't specify the year, but let's assume
mid-70's.
Asking price.... Wait for it..... $25,000!
Holy cow!! I can buy half a dozen Mirage 24's for that price and still
have money left over....
This must be one special boat...
