[@dennisrobinson4588]

I have noticed some of the boats in my price range have reduced their prices as well, but still seem a little high, I have time so I will wait until the right one comes along. Thanks Chris God bless you all!

[@B-Th-Change]

[@mannypuro7874]

Thanks for posting these - you've really helped clarify what I should be looking for, what really matters - and it's bringing the dream closer than ever.

[@dbc7772011]

Love the video! All these markets are intertwined. Housing, automobiles, boats, yachts. Interest rates affect them, the overall economy, fuel prices, major conflicts in the global world. We saw the major crash and 07 and 08. The coronavirus also put a major disruption of supplies and distribution. I would not be surprised to see another major correction like in 07-08. Love your videos and info!

[@panzergaming444]

I am a young captain of a 30ft peterson chaser racer/cruiser and its funny how you mentioned solo sailing and couples sailing 30ft-35ft when i first started sailing i thought a 25ft boat was huge and needed a crew. Main point i like your attitude and your knowledge and advice on sailboats got me to subscribe. I have a feeling the newer generation of sailors and captains will be more exciting!

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Thanks my man, I sincerely appreciate it

[@barrysummers1622]

That’s good news, on this side of the pond it is even worse with brokers hiking prices, 15 year old boats listed for twice as much as when they were new. Where to look for a 47 to 50 foot boat in the US, ?.

[@DarioDiLello-y9m]

What are you showing Part 7? I am planning on retiring on a boat early 2025. Going to seek your help at that time to make it happen. Thanks

[@yougude]

I like the brief descriptions of individual vessels that you give. Is it possible to discuss headroom? It's certainly one of the most important features for me!

[@daveg6492]

I’m 6’5” so it’s very important to me as well

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

It's spring time here. Boats are cheaper in spring because winter storage fees. I see cheap boats around great lakes all the time. Most have never seen salt water, but have seen many winters. Then see ads for boats in the south at almost double the price. Plus it's still cold so most aren't in the water yet. Our first boat was a cheap c&c 43 landfall. Biggest boat for least amount of money. Not something I would take out on Lake Superior or cross oceans on. Our next boat we hope it will fit down Erie canal and be sea worthy enough for sail to Isle Royal National Park.

[@jodyssey9921]

I keep watching your buying a used boat videos even though none of them seem to apply to me lol. Your vids are geared towards people with more money than me looking at larger boats than I am, I still keep watching though. All the boats I'm looking at are around 25' and under $10k purchase price with another $10k for refit.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

😊 it's all the same principle, I'm not rich at all, just get what works best for you, I'd fall into the 50k or less crowd

[@jodyssey9921]

@ABC gang why not? $$$ is why not. No boat at that price will be ready to go without me spending more money. I'll be alone so will need a wind vane at the very least, probably will have to buy a tender, probably a radio and/or epirb, stuff like that.

Hi chris as a novice and for other novices out there its both good and nice to get others opinions and advice about what you think is a good sailing yatch. But as you say we have to be honest and take a serious look at what we need and what we are going to use a sailing yatch for. Great video ty 😊

[@ChasingLatitudes]

I try, I also have old so its part of my daily routine hah

[@badgersupdate]

Fuel, food and just about everything is going up in price. Salaries are not. The first thing to go is the holiday, then the boat. That along with the Marina fees and Bring On Another Thousand is having a direct effect on boats. Last year there were no boat slips available. I got offered 3 different places last week. Prices in the UK are rapidly falling 5-10% . Hold on to your wallets. There’s some bargains coming.

[@outdoornet7111]

I think so too. The Inflation just seems to get started and it does not look as if it would go away anytime soon. Especially in the EU, the Central Bank can't really raise interest much to combat it, because of the high debt of many member states.

[@attitude928]

A lot of baby boomers have been selling their sailboats. Marina costs continue to rise. The young seem less interested.

[@Ethaara]

It is pretty awesome to check the market even without the intent of buying in the next 1-2 years, it is like a roller coaster but good to know that it can go down, and it is worth waiting for a few months and time the purchase when it comes to it.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

[@DisticTV]

Been looking at the Beneteau 38.1 or the 38, just hoping for the price to drop in the next couple years

[@ChasingLatitudes]

i love both of those I prefer the 38 for the removable bulkhead

[@DisticTV]

@@ChasingLatitudes I do love the removable bulkhead, my only concern is how solid the bulkhead would be.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

@@DisticTV they are great, its built so that the bulk head is not meant to be structural, my absolute dream vessel is the oceanos 35, little more cost friendly than the 38 both in initial purchase as well as running costs, gotta save those pennies ya know

[@danielt63]

I spotted that 323 in BVI myself... I suspect that the transport to the states would kill all the savings though...

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Yes, unless planning to stay here or possibly in Florida, but as you said having to take any further than that would kill the savings unfortunately, luckily for me I live in the Caribbean

[@corradodeluca1320]

Thank god. I will be waiting (skipping) one more season and then I may pull the trigger . Nothing against boat sellers but I will refuse to pay these prices (when I know how much the same boats would sell for just a couple of years ago.). 🤷‍♂️

[@ChasingLatitudes]

[@philgray1023]

True, I'm currently waiting for real estate prices to come down too. I mean we have been offered only 9 times what we paid for our house. Surely this can't go on like this. Or can it?

@@ChasingLatitudes In 2017, I sold my 1985 Mottle 33 for $38,000. In 1985 it was bought brand new for ...... wait for it $37,500! The new owners put a set of sails on it in 2021 and it was sold in 2 days for $46,000. That was with the original 1985 Volvo engine.

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Hhaah, awesome

[@Simonck]

There's a SO 43 DS for sale in Southhampton UK for £105K, I viewed it the day it came onto the market. Whoever is selling it has jumped onto the skyrocketing yacht prices. As an ex-school yacht, it is about £40- 45K overpriced, the present owner has DIYed lots of it when in reality someone should have taken his tools away. As a project yacht, it could be a belter but not for £105K

[@PynkPwny]

I really wish I knew how people quit working and just go cruising especially at a young age. I could save for 10 years and still be nervous about doing this even though I'm good at keeping a budget.

[@jaredflurry937]

I think it’s effectively a sabbatical for many. They take a couple years off to sail on a shoestring budget. Go back to shore and work when the money’s short and other needs in life start to call. Others hope to strike it big on KZbin to fund their cruise, others telework. That said, it’s not really that hard to straight-up retire around 40 if both partners are committed to the dream, earn solid salaries, and don’t mind frugality. A $1-2M nest egg is effectively guaranteed after 15-20 years of saving $50-100k (e.g. saving one partner’s whole salary). That size portfolio will easily return $25-75k a year.

[@PynkPwny]

@@jaredflurry937 probably true outside the few bigger YT sailing channels. It just seems like more of a pipe dream than something feasible for most average people.

[@farashay4587]

I know you don't like catamarans much, But will you make the same analyze on cats market please?

[@Mechone11]

Not in Canada where the average price of a house is over 800,000 over 1.2 million in the Toronto area , sail boats are inshort supply and are getting 20k to 30k more than 2 years ago. Also Beneteau closed its US factory and the charter companies have turned to cats. Put it up for sale gone in days and how many of these price drops are damaged goods?

[@ChasingLatitudes]

Wonder if you realize I'm not American ? 80% of my members area is Canadian you silly

[@TheBeingReal]

Give it a year or two, there will be a flood of boats on the market as people who bought and didn’t fully know what they were getting into. Be some boats at “It needs to be gone NOW” prices.
