Quick / Educated Value Assessment Requested Edited
 

Ok people, I have a question on the value of my boat.

1973 23CC Potter: Very nice boat, hull in great shape, fiberglass T-Top, New Birsall leaning post w\ matching front console cushion, Yamaha rigging (gauges, hydrolic steering, and shifter all less than a year old), Clarion CMD5 stereo w\ 6 speakers and Clarion marine amp, ICOM M504 VHF, Simrad RD-30 depth sounder, and OceanLED 1520TH-G underwater lights. (Edited: Comes w\ 26' Float-On style trailer in great condition.)

Scenero 1: '86 Yamaha 220 w\ blown piston (otherwise good motor), an 'original design' (but not original) transom that could used to be replaced this winter, and a few soft spots in the floor.

Scenero 2: Closed transom w\ bracket, freshly rebuilt '86 Yamaha 220 w\ 1-year warrantee, and new floor.

Here's my question, quick but educated (please). What would you value this boat at in each scenereo.

Thanks!

Chris (ElCapitan)

Heck, an educated guess is even better than nothing at all.

It is hard to do without pictures, and actually, without seeing the boat, it is tough too.

If your talking market value, the market is a buyers dream right now. There are a lot of boats to choose from. With 4 dollar a gallon gas on the horizon and the economy in the toilet, it isn't looking good. Even if the motor and boat are perfect, the motor is probably the biggest liability, even rebuilt. Most are perferring new, more efficient power plants.

My guess would be
Scenero 1 - 5-8k
Scenero 2 - 8-12k
