Is there such a person as a "Classic Hot Boat Collector"?
Will a 1977 Eliminator Daytona be worth as much as a 1969 Yenko Nova ($300K+) in ten years? :idea:

No. Well, maybe if it was a dinghy attached to a 2016 49' Eliminator Daytona with 3 Pfaff S/C motors, #6 drives, enclosed cockpit, computer guidance system with fly-by-wire controls and 3 resident bunnies to 'maintain' the driver, err...boat

I don't think so.
When ClassicGlastron.com was started, a lot of people stumbled across the site thinking they had some sort of financial windfall. Tons of first time posters ask, "What is blah blah blah worth?"
There are a handful of boats that have appreciated in value and a few that will hold their value but no great windfalls to be had. None of the 50s and 60s boats are worth 300K, even in perfect condition. None are worth 30K. At least, not that I know of. There are some 70s boats that cost a few thousand that are still worth roughly the same few thousand.
There is the odd boat, such as the Glastron Scimitar, that is worth 10~15K. That would be for a copy in perfect condition with the Mercury outdrive and with the Glastron aluminum trailer. That's more than the boat cost new.
I've called about a few older Glastrons and had the seller cite the existance of the CGOA and then suggest a price that is entirely stupid. Perhaps this will cause an upward rise in old boat prices for which a support site exists. I don't think the movement will gain traction, however, as a boat is a consumable and they only have so much life in them.
I think the biggest factor in keeping used boat prices up is the increase in price of new boats. It's starting to make more sense to maintain and re-power older boats and that will reduce the supply of old hulls.

If you have followed Campbell boats at all you would know it's already begun.
The 24' cuddy is a very popular boat and seems to be quite the prestige symbol here in Havasu. the boats have not been made for many years (10yrs I think), with a limited supply and their popularity, the prices are going up, about 50% over the last 5yrs I have been dreaming/drooling at them.
so It's entirely possible that certain makes and models could climb in value, and of course like me, there are always people that will be loyal to a certain make and model.
I can see a trend building and to borrow a car term RESTOMOD, restoring of older boats with modern running gear, as prices for new boats go through the roof like $260k for a local manufactures deck boat :jawdrop: :rolleyes: :hammer2: the only option left to many will be the pre-owned/restored market.

Cars boats etc... have collector values if a name attached to it . Elvis' tiny runabout boat went for 40 K ! If that boat was mine ,couldn't get more than a 1K for it . If the item has racing history that helps tremendously. My vintage motorcycle sold for twice the price what the new [ famous ] owner paid for ,after he resold it :idea: ;)

I think it began 20 years ago. I bet these if ever for sale could fetch $50K + in a barrett Jackson type auction. :)

I've hung out on the Fiberglassics site and there is some pretty rare and unique stuff being restored over there. Some of it is extremely collectible but there isn't much of a market for that stuff like there is for classic cars.
Im sittin on a classic Sea Doo.....It was tossed around in a Hurricane and landed on Miami beach.....It has history......what am I bid....Authentic South Beach sand included... :p

there is an a$$ for every seat. But I donno about a transom for every chrysler OB. lol
Super cool old rigs though. I have an old class D hydro and the mark 25 that goes with it. Also have an old 5 and 10 hp mercs that are like new and have been put away for now.
The restors on the classic old boats does seem to be catching on. Dave Sammonds (among others) is doing a few projects right now and saving some of the old inboard race boat history.
Thanks for posting those photos. I love the old stuff.

Those Seadoos shouldn't even be called boats....they are just oversized, noisy, rough riding jet skis....pieces of shiat!

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion,but I tend not to look down my nose at anything....I have owned a few of these "oversized jetskis"...The first one I bought new in 1995.....for a couple of reasons....the only lake I lived near was a small one....I needed something that fit in my garage ....and I lived on an uphill lot...and I wanted something inexpensive and small that my kids could learn to drive a boat with...... My kids skied,and tubed behind it for hours at time....and It ran...usually fully loaded,for hundreds of hours, mostly at wot......and never,not once ...did anything break....cant say that about any of the boats I have had since...thats for sure...everything has a purpose...It fit mine......It was an absolute blast to drive....easy to tow,easy to store,cheap insurance,zero maintenance issues....yeah...It's a piece of shit allrght....... :p

That's a respectable position. :cool:
I try not to look down on anyone's boat, either. :)
Of course, I'm running a 16 foot 70s Glastron. A Classic! :D
