Nice refit, you couldn't duplicate that today at under $500K. I like the cockpit mezzanine. I would venture to say that the aft salon bulkhead...
There is a glut of used 80s - 90s production SF that can be had for a "song and a dance" compared to what they would sell as a newly developed...
The 46 has 19 degrees of deadrise at the transom the 50 hast 17, so at rest in a sea way, the 50 is more comfortable. I have fished a late 80's...

I just don't think that this type of buyer has the perspective you are talking about. It is not a trailer situation and they most likely would not...
I had a good old timer broker friend who use to be the GM of the Crow's Nest out of NB. He had a real commercial boat background sold everything...
When a particular boat model does not strike a chord within, we tend to think it will crash on the market. Hell, I can't understand why you would...

Moving up from a 80' Monterey ex-Renegade/Patriot to a 90' ACY does not seem that out of the norm, and you can bet that no one wanted to build...
