Thinking of Selling My Boat What Should I Ask

[Rumblejohn]

Thinking of selling my boat, I'm just getting too old to deal with it any more.
It is a Lowe 1652LMT with a 30hp Merc electric start power trim boat motor and trailer are 2011 and in good shape. What should I ask for it.

Perhaps you could check the local boat listing to see what others are asking to get an idea of the price range. Also, Google up "used boat prices" and see if there is a black book value out there. And to drive the price up, tell everyone it belonged to Elvis at one time.

Sorry to hear that, I am getting up there as well, but I keep creating easier ways to make my boating easier. The way the market is going, keep the price high !!

$2000 to $2500 depending on how pretty it is. Maybe a little more in season. It is a jon though right? Less demand for nice jon boats. Seems most that want one are fine with a beater boat.

Maybe instead of selling you can find you a fishing buddy to give you a hand horsing it around.

That's in my market though. Some guys here quote prices way above what I see around here.

Location plays a big part in price. Throw up some pics to make it a little easier on us

Definitely put some phone pics on this thread.

I just sold my beat-up 16' Princecraft for $3,500, and it sold really fast.

If you were closer, I'd probably give you $2,500 today and then sell it for $3,000 more, if it's as clean as it sounds. Around here, it would probably go for $5,000-$8,000 if it's what I think it is.

Smaller, fuel efficient boats are only going up in value, with high fuel and replacement costs.

Post pictures!

Does yours look like this one? This one is new, $17,000:

If yours is clean and in good condition, I would ask about half and see what kind of offers you get. Even a bit beat up, if it runs well, I would ask no less than $5k.

Around my way if it is clean and the motor is a 4 stroke I'd start around 5k.

I would ask more than $5k if a 4-stroke, at least around here...

Out west it would sell for $7500 +/- depending on the condition.
