Value of 2007 Ranger Reata 1850 w/ 150 Yamaha 4 stroke?

[JinxCanada]

ok. can anyone give me an idea of what a boat like this is worth? Low hours on motor... Minnkota up front, 2 Lowrance colour gps/fish finders, 4 seats, bimini top, cover etc. Ranger trailer w/ brakes. Very good condition no damage etc.

I'm looking at a couple in our classifieds but they seem priced kinda high...or maybe I just don't realize what these boats are really worth?

TIA

they seem to hold value very well, 25k-26k i would think. that is about what they sold for back then!

[VINNYD]

i would have to agree with 25-30,000 would be probly more accurate and could be even higher depending on electronics aswell i have been looking for one for quite some time and not too many used ones out there i ordered a new 2012 1850 rs and price tag was 57,000 but mind you that is fully loaded , with 175hp verado and also in cdn funds and our lovely 13% tax here so my advice to you is dont worry so much about the money a couple of thousand dollars difference isnt too bad if it has all the bells and whistles cause to have to change your electronics later could be very expensive

I am not a troll. I am seeking serious advice which is why I asked. I sold my 2005 1850 VS last summer and I have been looking for a newer model. I just didn't realize the huge price difference for a couple of years newer.

[K Gonefishin]

Why don't you just buy a boat and keep it and FISH IT!. All the time you spent looking, selling, talking to people about boats, showing them, driving to pick them up, loading and unloading your gear out of them...doesn't it just become a big PIA? Wouldn't you just rather own one boat and get used to it and use it to fish for a few years instead of constantly trying to make a quick buck.

I don't know about you but my time and stress free aggravation is priceless.

That is the plan for this one. That's if I can get it for a price I can afford. I'm not buying this one to flip....at least for a few years as long as nothing major changes in my life. I LOVED the Reata which is why I wanted another one....unlike the 2090SC Warrior I had which was a great deal but I hated the lay out of the boat for trolling, and I found it far too narrow for 2 or 3 big guys to be in the back all at once.

I'd of course prefer a 2050 but I do not think I can find one in my price range...and they hardly EVER come up for sale used at all.

What was wrong with this boat?

Do you buy and sell boats for a profit or because you can't find the perfect boat?





Your post on 6/19/11

So now that I've had my Ranger for a while and been out several times in both calm and choppy water I have to say that I am absolutely blow away by this 2005 Reata 1850 VS!!!

It is by far the smoothest ride I have ever had (other than a 621 in a friend of mines) handles like a dream, is the most stable boat I've ever fished in that I've owned, and has the absolutely PERFECT floorplan of any boat I've seen period. I actually like the layout better than the 621 to be honest as I'm not a fan of the big side bunks.

Thus far I have owned...in the past 5 years..yes 5! LOL
1. 17.5ft Alumacraft tiller Competitor
2. 17ft Smokercraft Millentia
3. 18ft Starcraft Superfisherman
4. 20ft Fisher Avenger Sport (w/ I/O)
5. 20ft Warrior 2090 SC
6. 18.5ft Ranger Reata 1850 VS

The Alumacraft was a great first boat...but I hated the Tiller. For a 1997 boat that I paid $3100.00 for as a complete package it was a great rig for fishing the river which was about all I was doing at that time.

The Smoker craft sucked all around and I couldn't sell it fast enough. Too small, bare bones, fit and finish just were not there and VERY cheap carpet that wore out all over the place.

The Starcraft was excellent but with the deep draft on the bow caused me to burn a LOT of gas/oil. Very deep interior, nicely laid out with lots of room. This boat actually felt like a much bigger boat than it really was. Nice quality carpet and well made seats.

The Fisher was a suprisingly great boat that handled big waves well and has lots of room. The only reason I sold that was because of the I/O. Nice big live well in front, decent seats, cheap carpet but solidly built, nice welded construction and very spacious.

The Warrior although a nice boat actually had the worst ride of any boat I've own so far. On flat water it was a rocket, but in any kind of chop over 2 feet it was absolutely horrible (contrary to what others will tell you) AND I hated the lay out of the boat. The side consol was so far back that you lost all your dance floor in the back of the boat. I found this boat to bemuch more of a casting style (almost bass boat..but not quite) but for trolling it was too narrow, poorly laid out and just not for me. I think the split windshield Warriors with the consol up further to the front providing more room in the back would be a much better choice for anyone who trolls big water....but again the very NARROW beam of the Warriors leaves a lot to be desired. 90 Inches rub rail to rub rail is really only giving you around 70 inches inside the boat as the gunnels are wide. If they had made this boat with a 101" beam and less wide gunnels they would have been much further ahead I think.

The Ranger 1850 VS Reata is by far the most amazing boat I've had!!! The wide beam, use of every single inch of interior with storage galore, TONS of dancefloor for trolling when handling big rods, windshield (should be a little taller IMHO but that's not a big deal) ROCK SOLID seats and removable carpet are unreal!

The HUGE livewell (which fills in a matter of about 2 minutes) HUGE jump seats (which allows me to run with less removable seats for less clutter when trolling), rock solid hull and low profile that catches much less wind than most tin boats has completely won me over!!!

The ONLY thing I would change about this boat would be to change to a 2050 VS w/ a bigger motor...but that's cause i'm a speed whore and the 2050 would only perform that much better. The funny thing about the 1850 vs the 2050 is that you really have the same about of space behind the windshield...but you do gain some in the front. Now I'm 6 7" 300lbs and I have PLENTY of room on the front casting deck of the 1850vs which really suprised me.

One of the few things I am not a fan of is the rail system. It's just a personal thing, but I honestly see no point in them. I'd much rather permanently mount my rod holders flush mounted to the gunnels but that's a small issue for sure.

My buddy has a brand new Lund 2010 Explorer (other buddies bought at same time a 1850 Tyee) and I much prefer to fish out of the Explorer than the Tyee as it's more spacious and has a better floorplan in my opinion...but....for comfort of ride the Ranger wins hands down!

The Lund seats (I'm sorry to tell you guys) are cheap poorly made from particle board and small metal hinges that break EASILY (my buddy in the Tyee already broke 3) if you lean back on them. The Ranger seats are so strong I can jump up and down on them if I wanted to and they will not give at all. I have broken seats in the past being a larger human and these Ranger seats are the best I have ever sat in.

I can only dream of having a brand new Ranger Reata 2050 VS one day, but as far as buying used boats (and yes I've own too many) I can say I am FINALLY happy with everything about this rig. Heck, I might even keep this boat longer than a year finances allowing...but I truly hope one day to buy a brand new 2050 VS.

So....to anyone considering a new/used boat and not sure what to think and how to compare a tin vs glass boat let me tell you there is no comparison. The Ranger (at least) is the most solid smooth handling best built boat I've ever owned. If you can find one do not hesitate...run...don't walk to get a deal on one of these before you lose out. I now know why so few Reata's come up for sale....and that's no BS!

[JinxCanada]

I have been searching for the perfect boat. I have gone through a lot of them and the Ranger was the only one that I found NOTHING wrong with. I just wanted a newer one in a little better shape (the 2005 had a lot of stone chips etc which is why I got it so cheaply)

Now that I KNOW that the Reata is for me....I'm on the hunt for the perfect one.

If I could find a 2050 for $22000.00 I'd buy it in a heartbeat..but that's never gonna happen it seems

[BW]

Do you actually fish, or just enjoy trying to get a good deal and when you get it, don't know what to do with yourself?? You should have kept the older reata, made before 2009, cause they messed up the dashes on the new ones and took away the under console storage. Try buying a boat and just be happy. There is always gonna be bigger and better out there. It seems that either you can't afford those or are too cheap to spend the money! Should have kept what you had, cause that kind of deal ain't coming around again!! Oh, add about 20 grand to your last figure for a 2050!

[REW]

If the boat has been listed for some time, the asking price is too high.
If the boat lists and sells the same day, the asking price is too low.

The value of a rig, is exactly what someone with cash is willing to give to the owner to change ownership.

Many folks might say that it is worth 5K.
Others might say that it is worth 50K.

The real value is that a seller and buyer can agree on.

If you find a rig that you like, present an offer of 50% to the seller and ask for a counter offer. That will start the negotiations.

Take care

That's good advice. thanks.

and btw YES I fish 4-5 times per week when the weather allows...and I catch a lot too if that matters :-)

[PitchinJigs]

Jinx, the answer to this is very simple. Used boats sell for what the market will bear, and will be relative to current model pricing. Obviously there are exceptions to this which you found with the boat you purchased and subsequently sold (I would suspect for more than you paid).

If you feel the asking price of some of these boats are too high, offer what you feel their worth and attempt to negotiate. There are several things that factor into the asking price like warranty, hours on an engine, kickers, accessories... two identical rigs (boat/motors) can be several thousand dollars apart due to these differences. You want to step up to newer models, better condition, etc, then you're going to pay more for it. Or you keep looking until you come across that bargain again.

Do your own homework and know what things are worth to you. Every member on this site could post up and tell you the boats you're looking at are a good deal, and you may still disagree because YOU don't think they're a good deal.

[trackerbruce]

jinx Bought a 1850 reata in 09. It is a 07 in very good condition , 150 yamaha with a t8, with lift and forward controls. Two lowrance 52's and 80 terrova. Trollmaster and marine radio. Paid $29.900. Hope this helps.

yes that does help. thank you.

another question for you guys...is a T8 kicker a bad idea if it's ONLY pull start? power lift but no electric start? should I search for a better kicker?

If you offer me 50% of my asking price, there'll be no negotiations, my counter offer will be to tell you in no uncertain terms to get the **** off my property and not come back...

P.S. Good luck with the search Jinx, maybe you can finally put an end to all this.

Thanks for the help and guidance guys. I would never offer 50%...I'm trying to do my research to make sure I don't over pay which is why I'm here asking questions...searching the net etc....before I make the deal.

I know to a lot of you spending this kind of money is no big deal..but to me...a single divorced guy who got hosed and is just trying to hang on it is. I'm working my butt off on overtime when I can etc to save up and pay for a new rig...because...well...NOT fishing is just NOT an option for me. It's pretty much what I live for and work for.

I was considering a 2001 Starcraft 170 Superfisherman (which I've already owned before) for $9200.00 but....after having a Ranger Reata...I just can't go back. The ride was just that good...the boat was just THAT amazing....that I MUST have another one.

Other than the Ranger last year...the others were all pretty reasonably priced between $3000-$10,000.00

The Ranger Reata 1850 i'm thinking of now is quite a bit more money

[JinxCanada]

if a Ranger does not have rails...what's the best way/place and brand of rod holders to put on the boat? drill into the gunnel? flush mount would be preferable. any ideas? my last one had a rail, but the one I'm considering does not. or would I be better off to put rails on the boat?

You can buy the "ranger rails" from Cabelas. They're made by Ranger.

[BW]

Jinx,
You make no sense? You had the boat you liked so much, but sold it because of rock chips that you knew were there when you "stole it"? Now you are whining about finding another boat cause you just had to sell your dream boat for whatever reason? Or, your just kicking yourself because you can't find another person to sell you one for that cheap again?? Man, I wish I had your time to buy and sell boats, fish 5 times a week, work overtime to pay for things and be on W/C whining about it all.........WOW!!!

by the way, look on the classifieds, there are a couple of deals on Reatas. The older boats are coming down, unless $23 grand is out of your price range???

[1625rebel]

I'm guessing it's the kick of searching and dreaming of a different boat that keeps Jinx coming back for more.

I personally would not have sold a Ranger just to buy one 2 years newer. But to each his own I guess. :fishhit: The rock chips, oh the humanity...

I do hope you find a good one out there.

[TJEli]

I know to a lot of you spending this kind of money is no big deal..but to me...a single divorced guy who got hosed and is just trying to hang on it is.

I am not your finance manager but it sounds to me like another boat should be further down your priority list.

I don't know man, I couldn't live without my boat and if I couldn't afford the 621 I would be doing everything in my power to get a leg up on a nice Ranger and if I got hosed and was getting hosed making money on a boat purchase just might not be a bad idea. Fishing isn't a hobby it's a lifestlyle.

[BW]

But knowing the guys history on here and the fact that he already had the Ranger, and probably sold it to make a little money since he stole it originally and now whining that he can't find another one is a different story......

LOL I never said I can't afford it... but i'm not willing to pay top dollar...which seems to be around $25,000.00 I just am looking for the right deal. I've found one obviously just making sure it's the best deal i can get.

I appreciate, as always, all of your help. I can take the abuse...it's cool. It's part of the fun.

The rock chips didn't bother me at all...never said they did. I made $4500.00 profit on that boat which allows me to get another one newer and in better shape. I'm working my way up towards the boat of my dreams to be a keeper.

The 621vs, although amazing, isn't for me as I don't like the back bunks that take up so much room. The Reata 2050 RS is my dream boat w a 225 and 15hp kicker and Terrova...but until that day arrives...the 1850 is a very close second. :boxing:

[BW]

Well, good luck with your search! BTW, I wouldn't even dream of selling my boat for anywhere near 25 grand!!! I am sure you will find one though.

[Missourivette]

NADA average retail, Boat: 21500 plus 8740 for motor.
This is the lowest price you will probably see this boat sell for.
I spoke to a Boat dealer about pricing. Just like a car dealer. You do not get Jack for extra seats,electronics etc.. Boat and Motor only. The trailer doesn't count. It comes with the boat and is included in boat value.
A Kicker is added to overal price.

[VINNYD]

i went way more then my orginal buying price to purchase my boat ( 2012 ranger reata 1850 rs) but i did alot of researching and looked at many other types of boats aswell but putting everything together in perspective i didnt want to be disapointed or have any regrets later down the road ive find that in most scenarios that when buying something expensive its better even if you have to spend more to be totally happy with what you have bought . i know for me this boat will be my keeper for a very long time , rather then buying something not quite what you wanted and then having regrets and thinking you made a mistake or having to sell it and then buying something else , mind you if its finacial issue i totally understand and you got to do what you got to do but sometimes you think you saving a dollar well end up costing you more in long run , just my two cents hope that helps

Just got home with my MINT and daamned near BRAND NEW 2007 Ranger Reata 1850VS in metallic silver & metallic purple with black interior 4 seats 1 butt seat, ski tow pole, etc etc. Lowrance LMS332 on dash and front, stereo, Minn Kota Fortrex 80lbs trolling motor, 3 new batteries, brand new on board charger, Yamaha 150 HP 4 Stroke w/ 90 hours only on it!!! There is not a MARK on this boat or motor. Bimini top and Ranger cover as well. Prop is absolutely mint and not a mark on it. Not a single scratch on the bottom, sides etc. This boat is as brand new. Makes me very very happy

Now...for the BEST part...and this is what I love about finding deals!!! A fellow member just sold his 2005 Reata 1850vs w/ same motor (but had T8 kicker also) for $26,500.00 USD. That's about the going rate. I found 2 others on our classifieds one was 2006 no trolling motor and the other 2007 both same Yamaha 150 HP 4 Stroke

2007 $27,500.00 pretty much the same boat I just bought
