If one looks at the price of a new hull it is easy to understand. Add to it most aluminum boats barely get use that wears out the hull integrity. I refitted motors, controls. seating, electronics for around 22k on an 03 hull. I paid 20k years back and a new hull fitted the way I did mine is around 70k. So with used boats the value is not in the hull but motors and the rest of the stuff. Now if you got the money to burn hell the quality of boats has drastically improved as to size/comfort and beauty parade boats but they don't fish any better just cost more.
