need your help

[madmullet]

Now I am in the prosess of looking for a new/second hand boat at 6m min but 6.5mwill be great. It doesn’t matter what brand but hains, whitley or cruise craft is pref.

So this is what I need help with....

I currently own a 18ft hains half cab with a 1998 200hp suzie on the back. The floor and stringers have just been replaced and the motor will be having a major service very soon. The trailer is a mt200 dual axle trailer which is only 2 yrs old and has been heavily modified to go on long trips. I have put 52 rollers on it not inc keel rollers. The std for this trailer is 32 rollers.

This is the only pic I currently have of the boat before all the work got done on it.

Now what I am wondering is how much should I put it on the market for.

the stickers wil be coming off and it will be geting a big polish. it allso will have new rubbers around the boat and will come with humming bird gps and sounder

cheers kurt

Madmullet, if it helps my Haines recently got a professional valuation from Cunninghams marine for $18K, mine is 17ft, 150hp 2001 Yammie, boat is fairly clean and tidy. I reckon you should put $15K on yours and see how you go.

Throw in the outriggers to get the party started kurt,extra 2k+ to the price

[haines490slc]

actually that trailer would be worth heaps (way better than mine) I reckon put $18k on it.

I reckon Haines gave a good price point at $15k if you are looking to move it quickly. If you have time, I'd probably list it at about $18.75 and be willing to be worked down and/or throw in some extras.

Granted, I haven't bought a boat here in Aus, but for that year and motor, I'd probably consider 9-10k back in the US so I think the $15 to $18.75 is more of a market rate for Aus. Again, depends on how motivated you are to sell it.

Best of luck,

Gary

i want a bigger boat for comfort and i have to think of kids coming. when they are old enough to go out i want that extra room and also if i dont do it before kids come, it will be a while before i get the chanse to afford one cause kids are exy.

as much as i love that boat, and have caught some awesome fish out of it, its time for a change, you will be the same in the future runty.
