Figuring Out Boat Value .

[mosquito13]

My partner in the old Ranger we rebuilt wants me to buy him out, divorce... So it is time to sell my Sea Pro. Nada sucks but is a start(nothing earlier then 2016). Boattrader well not many Seapro's go on the market so... I am a member of boatus so waiting on their valuation of it. Got it insured for 20K.  Been watching ebay, craigslist, and facebook market place and prices seem ridiculously high which is good if boats are selling.  Non of them take into account add on's like shallow water anchors, fishfinder, battery charges,and trolling motor models. I got about 6K in just those items... Motor is old but only 50hrs on a new powerhead, so kinda like new...I am  at a loss on setting a asking price .  Thinking at starting at 17K I know my break even point considering depreciation, but I got some killer deals starting when I purchased the boat, and have done a lot of upgrades and installs myself. More a vent. Will put a listing up next week. Want to get some on the water pics and video's this week before weather changes . Anyone ever use paypal to take a large payment? Thinking of ways to help folks come up the money with minimal risk to me.

I think you're about right at 17K, as far as payment goes I wouldn't except anything other than cash or a bank transer at the bank.

Paypal is safe but better for smaller transactions as the fee adds up.

Value is what you can get. I know you have lots of additions, but they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them. I hate you are selling the sea pro, but I hope you'll hang around after you do. I appreciate your contribution to this site as you are one of the most die hard fishermen here.

I'd add cashier's check or money order. As a last option ..Even a personal check if the buyer is willing to wait until the check clears the bank b4
they get the boat.

Good luck with the sale... You might try NADA-Boats to get a base value of the boat, motor and trailer, then add the value of the add ons to that.

Skeeter, that sucks. I do hope you'll stick around. Like Freezer said, you're a hardcore fisherman and you know some stuff. I love reading your posts.

Don't under price it unless you want it to move fast. You can always drop the price can't go the other way.

I agree with other comments. If you wanna get 17, price it at 19 or 20. You might get lucky and get that.

I need to stop fishing and list this thing. Bite has been on and everyone I know is wanting to fish... Have had a rod in my hand 6 out of the last 10 days, with plans to fish three more day this before coming Sunday. Did schedule a buddy to detail it for me, but we went fishing instead .

Made headway. Boat is detailed , cover is waterproofed(got rid of some fading), trailer acid washed and sprayed with wd40 . Picture taking tomorrow.

Good looking boat

Price Drop lowered it to $16500 on eBay and Craig's listings. Less bargaining room for that feel good / got a deal feeling . Tarpon season is fast approaching as with Sarasota's Tarpon Tournament. Hoping somebody rich wants a spare back up boat for their Sterling. Oldest running tarpon tournament in the world and it brings in some really rich teams. Word is Tom Cruise is going to be fishing it this year.
