Thanks for the input guys. So we are looking at roughly $900 in increased motor cost per year from 18 to 23.
Being close to sea level I don't need a 450. However, there is a used boat of interest with a 450 and I'm trying to estimate what they paid for the boat. The used boats I've been watching minus the G23's aren't moving. I'm starting to see some prices drop to what I'd expect folks paid just not on the boats on the top of my list.

I would not say it was an $900 per year increase. The 440 was 6500 ish in 2018 and in 2019 I recall the 450 was just over $9000 ish and 2023 is 10k.
Point is the big jump was in 2019 with the new 450.
The above is Supra pricing, moomba charges less for the 450 upgrade.

Indmar has a specific intake manifold for the 450. The GT350 throttle body does not bolt up to the 400's intake.
If anyone with a 450 can post some pics of the TB and Intake manifold, that would be great.
It certainly doesn't cost more to make the 450 vs the 400, just paying the premium for 60hp and 48 ft.lbs

As long as people are paying that much for an upgrade, that's what will be charged. It's not just in boat markets, it's just business. Just because something can be made at a low cost doesn't mean it will be sold at a low cost. Heck. Look at a pair of "Crocks"! LOL!...... Of course it still doesn't mean "I" will necessarily buy it.
