The Newport, RI boat show starts today. The FTL show is at the end of October. You might see something you never imagined. I wouldn't be afraid of a used boat, especially if it has been strictly used on fresh water. I suspect a lot of boats were sold during the pandemic that may be coming back on the market as inflation continues and people's portfolios falter. Right now, dealers don't want to carry inventory over the winter, and individuals owners may want to avoid winter storage fees. Regardless, a priority is to be sure you have a slip or valet for 2023.
