I’m a professional hater 😎
lol! How dare you notice boats now come with more options than they did 25 years ago. That’s just justifying the price of new boats, same as new cars. If anything that’s the opposite of hating.

Personally I love half/full caps. Unfortunately, that’s one of the most expensive options you could do to any boat.

The fact is, boat prices suck regardless of size, type, year, condition or market. If you’re in for the pure pleasure of it, you grin and bear it regardless. You’re either in, or you’re out. That is really the truth of the matter.

These Magic re sellers are really in their own league when it comes to pricing.
Ya. When I sold mine last year I listed it at 90 it was gone within days. Bernie said to start at 99k I said na man let’s get this thing gone. I didn’t need 2 boats.

Twin engine Lavey on FB that looks like a good deal with all new interior for 69k
For some crazy reason, Lavey's just don't resale well. I dont understand it either. They are ridiculously well made boats and perform excellent, but for some reason they sell for less than comparable boats in the size range and sit on the market longer.

i agree, I initially thought it’s because of the wild designs and graphics. Friend has a 2750 and I love it, I’d move into one when I have kids

Great boat for family, I had the 2750 with TCM 600 in it, kids were teenagers at that time, and they loved to go for speed runs on the tube, one of the kids' buddies ( crazy bastard) would go over 70 in a tube.
