Same here. I'm lucky enough, my wife and I have a decent combined household income, probably well above average which allows us to live on a lake and ski behind our own tug. But buying a new boat is so out of reach with today's prices. It's just ridiculous.
But we can brag about prices all day long, they still will go up and boats will still sale.
I don't get it either.
Seems like I will (have to) stick with my 2010 Response for quite a while.
