Default Re: Value on restored 1972 SeaCraft CC

If you check the past ads you will find out what things are going for. And like stated in the above posts do not get your hopes up for big bucks. The last real nice restored boat had 49k into it, and the man finally sold it for under 29k. This boat was a 23 footer and had all new electronics trailer and 3 year old engine.

The facts are this. The two known values on any boat are the engine, and trailer. They make so many of these that they are a commodity. Anyone can find out the market value for this. The boat is the variable.

Most people who do not know boats would rather buy new and have a warranty, than a 30 year old boat with no warranty.

Seacraft owners want a Seacraft, but will not pay new boat prices for them. They would rather buy an old Seacraft and do over themselves. Pride of ownership and the I did it factor.(that is the neat part)

Check the sight and see which boats SOLD and for how much. This will be your guide. Do not get sucked in by how much people where asking for there boat.
