Don't forget that there was a huge shortage of used cars after they did the "cash for clunkers" or whatever they called it.
And most cars you buy now, you can make them last for ten or more years, creating another shortage of used vehicles.

Maybe there's a shortage of used boats because of the economy, people just are keeping that they have, instead of paying the huge prices they want for newer ones now.
