Original Prices....

Does anyone know if there's a place one can find prices for the boats new, in the 70's and 80's?

I know Aslan sold new in 1983 for $473,000 FOB Tampa because I have the paper.

That's crazy to me. At $6 per hour at that point in my life I don't think I could swing the payment!

Buyer was principal of a Tampa Ford dealership. He passed away in the 90’s at close to 90. Safe to say he was well above $6.

SEVEN sold for 405,000.00 in 2004. It was 25 years old then.

I think in 1971 when my boat was built, Hatteras were about a big buck a foot, roughly. So, with various extras, a 36 convertible would have been about forty thousand dollars. Does that sound about right? I don't know of any archive of original prices.

As I’ve said when I was a kid I grabbed every piece of Hatteras literature I could get at the boat shows. Including the price guides that were not for public distribution. I’d wait until the sales babes were distracted and then grab everything I could get my grubby little hands on. My bedroom walls were plastered with Hatteras and Donzi pics.

What was the price back then? I can't make it big enough to read the type. VERY curious to see if I was even close.
