Like a lot of others looking to purchase something bigger I am worried about longer term depreciation. Currently got a sealine 195, and have been considering bigger boats like larson 254 with kad32, or bigger still, a fairline 29 with twin ad31. My thoughts were that where the difference in gph for smaller boats like the larson v its petrol powered equiv, the advantage of the diesel will be largely diminished therefore it will fall in value considerably to a level maybe just above the petrol. But with the bigger fairline, 90% of them were diesel anyhow and running 2 v8 petrols in such a boat will still be unpopular. Therefore its value may fall but not to the extent of the smaller boat. Does anyone else see the logic in this? I guess If i want to play it safe is to buy a petrol larson 254 with a more modern mpi petrol in it. Keep this for a year and review the situation. At least I can be sure its wont plummet in value.
