Super User slonezp Posted February 3, 2014 Super User Posted February 3, 2014 I'm thinking no more than $1500 in my area, and that's if everything works. Quote
jhoffman Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Youre basically selling the motors and giving the boat away free. I have a suggestion... Take the motors off, sell them, send the boat out with someone free of charge minus the trailer. Deck the trailer and use it to haul other stuff. Quote
hawghunters Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 It really depends on your area. My area, aluminum boats are more of a demand than fiberglass. If there are lakes around that you run you can probably get $2,000 out of it. I would suggest trying to sell it in spring when people are thinking of wanting to use a boat. Winter is a tough time for selling boats. Quote
jb_adams Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 $2,000?? Um no. A 16-18ft glass boat around late 70's to early 80's with a 115hp outboard that is in good working order with a fully functioning motor is worth $2,000-$2,500. If upgrades are added like moder fish finders, newer modern trolling motor, new batterys, carpet, good seats, etc. you can get up to $3,000-$3,500 but that's about it. My boat is a 79 model and I paid a little over $2,000 for it and it was in really good shape for it's age. Today, it's got a rebuilt outboard (last year), new carpet, deck extension, 65lb thrust Minn Kota TM, 3 new marine grade deep cycle batteries, Lowrance Elite 5DSI, Eagle 320, Lowrance x86(?) (basically 3 fish finders), anchor and winch, new tires on trailer, replaced bearings, upgraded to all LED lights, trailer boat buddies (retractable transom straps), etc. I could go on and on.... My advice is to ask for around $1,000 and see what you can get. If i were to sell mine today, if I asked more than $4,000.......people might laugh at me. In my mind, it's easily worth over $4,000 but I doubt anyone would pay that. Here is a photo of mine after I just completed the deck extension up front. I removed the old seats and extended the fishing deck. Now I have locking lid in the middle with a gas strut and smaller lids on the sides. Tripled my storage capacity! Quote
kwhorne19 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Posted February 8, 2014 that's a nice looking boat - thanks for the encouraging pump up speech about selling my boat Quote
