What's my boat worth?

[captainjack]

Well I looked at nada but it varies 15k so I was hoping u guys could give me your honest opinion on what I should ask? I even tried seeing what else was out there for sale but my search was not to successful... Thanks for the help guys an u won't hurt my feelings! Thought I wanted a 2nd boat but I really just want one that fits our hobbies better now.

Seriously, I like to do a search of SOLD items only on ebay. How ever, you don't exactly have a common boat. Might be hard to get good compairables...

What are you gonna replace it with??

[pond tuuunes]

Did you try to compare on boattrader.com ? Or maybe call Playcraft, they seem to be nice people and dont mind helping out. JT

Well nada says between 61675 an 40035? Boat trader has one a 2010 with a 225 Honda for 45k? I haven't called Playcraft. I did call the dealer I bought it an they were not any help. As far as what we are gonna get? I would be happy with a Ranger Reata the wife wants a toon lay out so we are thinking something along the lines of a lowe sport deck fish... We were looking at the 2nd boat option but that knocks out the justification of our current boat using it less... An our 5 year goal of a lake home. So we may end up with much less of an investment to get us to that point sooner. Anyway planning on putting current boat up for sale in April so just trying to figure out where to start asking price?

The problem you may run into is that your boat is worth enough that it will make for a nasty monthly pmnt for the avg joe who cant come up with a lot down or get a 10-15yr loan on it cause its used. Alot of buyers will go buy new instead just beause the pmnt is cheaper even though yours is a lot better buy

I think the issue is that your boat is very much a specialty item. It's an awesome boat but there just isn't that many people looking for that kind of pontoon for that kind of money. Your best bet is to see if the dealer will take it on consignment.

That might be a good idea. Dabbeling in the used truck market years ago, it always blew my mind how some one would pay thousands of dollars more for basically the same vehicle on a lot. I guess it's just comforting to some people to buy from a dealer instead of a private individual, even if they are getting no warranty what so ever

[captainjack]

I have sold lots of high dollar boats so I am not scared of that. Just was looking for some opinions on where I should list. I guess I will go with my gut...

Captain Jack, I would sell it too ToonGuy if I were you. Give him a 50% discount, just to be nice, and I think you could both be very happy!

[captainjack]

96% of that it would sold! Ha ha
