Decided to put together a quick thread on how much those boats you see at the Trump boat parades actually cost. The most common boats I see are offshore fishing boats, center-console and express cruisers, and the occasional motoryacht. I pulled these from boattrader ads.

Here is what center console fishing boats cost *used*. The Mako is 25 years old, still $90K.

Here is a classic 36’ Grady-White Express and a 30’ Grady White Freedom

Here are two express cruiser, one Sea Ray and the other Cruisers Yachts, both very popular shipbuilders.

And you sometimes see some big yachts in these parades. Here is what a Hatteras motoryacht and Sea Ray flybridge run

And this is what a nice sportfishing yacht costs. This is a beautiful 52’ Viking.

I want to reiterate - this is what these boats cost *used*. Some of these are 10-15 years old, one is 25 years old.

Bottom line: those people in Trump boat parades are likely way richer than you or I, and probably way richer than anyone you know. They are not common folk.
