NADA values does not list SeaCraft ?
 
What's that all about ? Not on NADA so where to find values........

NADA has had them before but honestly, its a poor source for value... too many variables go unaccounted for.

Best place to find true/approximate value is here on this site. Go through for sale section and check asking and prices vs. interest/response, while comparing what you have or are interested in. Pictures and details will get you some decent starting points and feedback.

OP was probably thinking along the lines of what a financial institute would want and need to be able to finance one. Just a hunch!! I know that I had a difficult time trying to find financing for my last 31' Contender because it couldnt be book out via NADA. Banks are hesitant to finance if they cant physically book it out through a reputable source.

Pharm, Good point.
I don't know what source-book banks use to determine value, but from what I've seenthe NADA source wont be very helpful in getting a loan. I remember looking up my Seafari a couple years ago, and was pretty convinced my OPOS was worth much more than $700.

Another option might be http://www.abos.com/
I've always heard this was "the boat blue book" but I've never seen the numbers it presents.

I think when I bought mine it was listed at $900 there, not really very good, I do think they want a survey if its 10 yrs anyway - please correct me if I'm wrong because mine is un-insured

Www.BUC.com may be another type boat value source to check out. This is what my bank finally used along with a vessel survey. And you are right, anything over 10 years will require a vessel survey anyways for financing.
