What do we think my boat is worth in the market

[kingblazer84]

Well as we all know everyone will sell something if they get what they want for it, and this goes for my boat that ive had for 5 years now. Im still thinking of possibly upgrading to alum or newer fiberglass with newer power even though my boat has been so good to me, also maybe move up to 18+ !

thought I would ask for some honest/nice opinions on what guys think my boat is worth.

I think you’d be in the market around $6500.

 

[Corey_lax]

If you get $6,500, I’m listing my boat right after you lol

 

[scott craven]

The boat looks clean, but the power is old...
keep your rigger's, cannon balls and sounder
as they won't contribute to the bottom line.
I would ask $5500 as a starting point

 

[Trophy21]

In Victoria 6,500. Anywhere else, not so much at all.

 

[kaelc]

If you are motivated to sell I would say 4900 and sell the down riggers and balls separately. I love some of those old Mercs but that one is as old as me and it is a 2 stroke so half of the people will be turned off, just like with guys born in 77!

 

[RiverBoy]

my father in law just sold his ancient 16’ runabout with ancient yammy power for $3800 sight unseen to someone and i personally wouldn’t have paid ten cents for it. completely kicked on, held together with sika flex, no riggers, no gps / finder either. i say shoot for the stars right now while the gettings good

 

[Gear'n'beer!]

I’m considering selling my boat. Partially because the market is so hot and partially because a substantial part of the joy has just gone out of it for me. I would find it very hard to be boat less but in this market.......

 

[kingblazer84]

thanks for the insight guys at this stage I may just put it up for a stupid price of $8500 and see if someone bites if not no biggie lol ill prob hang onto it for the time being and possibly upgrade to 4 strokes when the old 2 stroke kicks the bucket she runs real well and starts every-time both of them do! it owes me nothing!.

 

[Doubleheader]

Looks like a great little glass hull! Although I have a soft spot for the vintage outboards I don’t put much value on them, or faith in their reliability. I’d say it’s worth $3500. Good luck with the sale!

 

[zurk]

ive been getting showing requests for my 2018 kingfisher 1825 priced at $79K so pretty sure you will get some bites for $7995.

 

[Matt16]

Hmm, given the age of the power, and the fix-it list, I think $4-5K.

 

[Fishalot]

I think right now the question is not what the boat is worth but what someone is willing to pay for it. Prices are crazy, swing for the big money!
