That is the going rate, and the bad news it's not looking like this coming summer is going to be any less busy than 2020. Finding a deal might be hard, and it probably will only be a couple hundred dollars. Not that's a drop in the bucket, but $3,300 v. $3,000 doesn't sound like a good value. Your idea isn't bad about buying one and selling, as the pontoon market is hot. You're still going to have to spend $8,000 to get something that is 15 years old with a decent running motor in decent shape. You will most likely get your whole investment back, but have to pony up more and deal with the buying/selling process. Just my .02. Good luck with which ever way you go!
