Come the March/April timeframe, I am going to be putting my boat up for sale and was trying to get a concensus on what I should ask for it. Details of the boat:
99 Outback
5.7L
roughly ~500 hours
Motor is carb'd and runs great. We take the boat out all the time when I can get a crew up and when I can get back down to the water.
So, I think NADA has the boat valued at about 10k-11k, so I will start there and subtract what I think the boat would need to get it to pristine condition.
--The trailer is a guaranteed POS. The boat ramp is 5 miles from my house and it gets the job done, but I would consider it a throw-away. (Subtract $1K for used/new trailer)
--The vinyl could use a re-cover job in a couple of spots. Its still in decent shape, but to get it perfect it needs to be redone (subtract $1k)
--Gelcoat is faded (the boat is red) in some spots. Needs a good wet sand to bring it back to life. (subtract $500)
Those are the 3 biggest flaws to the boat. Engine and tranny are flawless. Have replaced most exterior parts on the motor (rebuilt carb, new fuel pump, soon to be new starter, new plugs, etc...)
So, what do you guys think I should ask for it? I am leaning towards asking $7500.
(I thought I had a picture of the boat on the computer but I dont)
