How much do you think this is worth?

I was wondering, if some of you could tell me how much I should sell my boat for? Or could you tell me if I can find this stuff on the web?

I have a fishing buddy who had a 90 lund 1800 Pro-v with a 115 merc and a bunch of extras and work done to it, he sold his for 7500 so I would say that you wouldn't be out of line asking 10,000. I guess it depends on what kind of shape it is in.... Of course you will get more in Spring and summer than in fall or winter. You might even be able to get more out of it......but you are talking about 8 years old. Ask what you think you want out of it and work from there.......

Hey..an old tub like that...maybe $500....So, tell you what for an even "Thousand" I'll help you out...even pick it up... (LOL)


Seriously, look through www.traderonline.com and the Nada site...I tend to think the NADA site runs a little low...especially on the issue of "condition"...as much as 33 1/3% in my estimation...

Finally...it's a good idea to research this pretty well...Your insuance broker "may" be able to help with a value from some of the companies he represents...

Good luck...it's a nice rig and ought to sell...

I have looked at the NADA pricing at alot of these sites and around here in Minnesota, I have seen these Lunds ALWAYS go for more. I don't put much stock into the boat value guides since they are never very accurate.

Another thing to look at is the want ads in your local newspaper.

If you go through a months worth of ads, you can see what boats are selling and which are not. i.e. are the ads staying in the paper, or are they disappearing. Also, call a few folks with similar boats, see how long they have had them for sale etc.

This will give you an excellent idea or YOUR local market.

Just because one market says that your rig should sell for 10K, you might find that another market - would be able to support a 13K price, or possibly only an 8K price.

The thing about the free enterprise system, is that things are worth exactly what someone will pay for them.

You are better to start off with a price too high - if you want to maximize your deal.

If you start with a low price - and find that you have 500 calls on the first day - you have very obviously priced your deal too low; but then it is too late to change it.

However, if you price the deal too high - and get 0 calls for two weeks, you can always wait for a week and drop the price a few thousand to find what the interest level is.

The other thing to do is to go shopping at dealers and find out what they are selling a similar priced rig for. With a dealers overhead, they are forced to price the deal a few thousand higher than what you would sell the deal for. So take their overhead into consideration, when setting the price for your deal.

Take care - get a good price for your rig, and if buying a different rig - enjoy the shopping and the ride.

Call your credit union and ask them what the bluebook value is. There is a wholesale and retail value and they can give you both. It is very similar to the idea of bluebook on a car. Then, adjust up/down depending on what you think the demand is for your boat.
