Pricey Used Boats

Had my 2013 Ranger 2050 Reata in Frankie’s Marine to get something fixed the other day and Frankie walked by, looked at it and said I could get mid 60’s for it easy. That’s only a few thousand less than I paid for it 8 years and 600 engine hours ago. Problem is when I spec out out a new one on their website with roughly the same equipment it comes to $89k before tax and freight. And that’s for a 2021 model which they aren’t taking orders for anymore only the 2022 models. And according to Frankie Ranger is increasing the price of the 2022’s by 15%!!!. Lets see that’s $89k X 1.15 = $102k Yikes!!

I feel bad for you dealing with those guys

In the 8 years since I bought my boat from them they’ve always given me excellent customer service. Even this latest time I brought it in, I had something break in my kicker steering and was leaving in a couple of days on a fishing trip. Despite being swamped in their service department they pulled me in and fixed it while I waited. I’ve seen other posts complaining about their service but that has not been my experience at all.

Frankies were always good to me.

I sold a 1800 ProV, Yammi 150, and 400 hours in the fall of 2011 for 21,500. Dealer said I did well at that price. 10 years later I see the same boats now selling for over 30k.
