Why are CC boats so pricey?

[CC Rider]

My buddy is buying a 30' cabin cruiser type used boat pretty cheap. When I tell him what I'll pay for a used CC, he thinks I'm friggin nuts! He says: "That's crazy, it's just a damn open hull with a steering wheel in the middle! Why so expensive?" I couldn't really answer him

I figure it is supply and demand. New the Cuddy is more expensive. Used it is cheaper. I just purchased a 28' Cuddy and paid $5k less than the same manufacturers center consoles I looked at.

I had a 28' Hydra Sports Center Console up untill late 2009. The Center Console is a great fishing boat and handles rough seas better. I would have never sold it had my x-wife and her attorney made sure I had to. Now I have a cuddy mainly because I have a Girlfirend who wants to spend the weekends on it. I do like it, but every time a center console goes by I salivate just a little.

as stated above..supply and demand

I think CC's hold and maintain there value longer and better due to the versatility and various usefullness.
