Used Boat Price

Make an offer.

I'd go to boat trader and then look at classifieds. This forum has been great on learning other info-like what motors are bullet proof versus which are junk.

Post your boat specs (or prospective purchase specs) and you'll get plenty of price feedback.. Tree-fiddy bing the predominant response.

I am sure most think their boat is worth more than it is. I just want an idea of what to offer and to be able to back it up when asked how I came up with the price.

I applaud you, most folks what just pull a # out of thin air and try to have you believe it with zero justification nor care to offer one.

I certainly wouldn't put my boat as an equivalent to a pristine boat if mine was beat up. But I found any boat within a year or two of my boat (boat was only 4 years old so that was easy for me). Then I made sure comparable didn't have any absurd upgrades. I knew I took care of mine so when I saw the highest price, I started there. If my boat was beat up, I may have adjusted. Came down like 3k off of that price before selling. But I still got calls at the high sales price.

When they do research, they'll see the same range of prices you did, so you won't be outrageous. It will look to be in line. Once they call it's all about what they are willing to spend and what you are willing to take. Advertised price is just there to get them to call.
