I think if anyone could know they would be on Wall Street cleaning up rather than here. If I had to guess I would say that prices might be similar or slightly higher, but not down or up very much.

Perhaps, but the Jeanneaus and Beneteaus that I'm familiar with are apples and oranges to about 5 or 6 years ago. You can buy a brand new 53 for almost exactly the cost of my used 54 right now...

At your price range, you should probably buy directly from a private owner - Craigslist is your friend.

Rather than trying to deal with lots of brokers and their various whims, you ought to find just one broker who you find personable and helpful, and turn your boat search over to him//her, let him...

Just shoot at the range. Much less of an impact on the environment, and safer. Plus you get more feedback about how you are shooting. Will make you a better shooter.
