Market Highlights
- The Vintage Marine Appeal: In 2026, classic 1970s day cruisers like Centurions remain highly sought after for their iconic lines and thick fiberglass construction. Unlike modern complex boats, these mechanical setups are straightforward for DIY enthusiasts to maintain.
- SoCal/River Culture: Southern California, particularly the Inland Empire, serves as a hub for the 'river boat' scene. A boat in Upland is perfectly positioned for buyers heading to Lake Havasu or Parker, commanding a premium for its turn-key readiness.
- Value Stability: These classic hulls have largely bottomed out in depreciation. A well-maintained 21-foot cruiser that is 'turn-key' often holds its value around the $8k mark indefinitely, provided it is stored properly and kept in good cosmetic condition.
