Median from five boats; middle half from ten. Below that we print nothing rather than a guess. Linked years have their own page with that year's boats. The spread is drawn on the field's scale, in pounds.

What moves the price

Each factor compares boats of the same age, so a newer boat's premium isn't counted twice. Five boats or more on each side, or we say so.

These are asking prices, and asking is not selling. Days listed so far is not time to sell: a boat still listed has not sold, and we do not yet record when a listing ends. We have not measured how far sale prices land below asking; the methodology says what we can and cannot measure.

About the Legend 40

The boats behind this page were built between 1984 and 1989 and have been listed since Feb 2021, most often in the US market. 40% of the boats seen at least 14 days apart have cut their asking price.

How we measure: we read public listings from brokers and marketplaces, count a boat once when it appears on several sites, store its asking price each time it changes, and restate older asking prices at today's market level. We never republish a listing, a photograph or a seller. Every figure is recomputed nightly and dated; below five boats we publish nothing. The 15 boats here were listed in Europe and the US.
