Luxury yacht dealers see strong sales in 2007


<snip>

The Dow notched a 16 percent gain for 2006 and oil prices fell below $61 a barrel Tuesday, helped by unseasonably warm weather in the northeastern United States.

"The outlook is positive for a number of reasons, including the weather," said Allan Valunas, a brokerage consultant at boat retailer MarineMax Inc.

"Because of the weather, they'll put them in the water sooner," he said, adding that Wall Street's pay bonuses of nearly $24 billion should also be a boon to sales.

With five days remaining for the show, Cruisers has sold one 44-foot yacht for $499,000, an exhibitor said.

A buyer was also in negotiations to purchase the 57-foot Carver Marquis 55, whose price was listed at $1.25 million, show spokeswoman Raevan Naanen said. The yacht features master and VIP staterooms equipped with LCD TVs, bamboo floors and a spacious galley.
