Default Re: What is a 1973 20' seacraft hull worth

All depends on how fast you want it to sell. If you price it too high, it simply won't sell, SeaCraft boats are NOT rare by any stretch of the imagination. I sold my 1971 20' and I don't particularly care if the buyer brags what he paid for it. It took ten days to sell, I sold it for $26,500.

As others have mentioned, the boat being "original" isn't an asset - most buyers are going to unbolt all that "original" stuff and deposit in the closest dumpster before they fire up the sawsall to cut the liner out or tear into the transom.

I bought my '71 20' that was 'all original' and proceeded to ditch the trailer/console/engine/flip-back seat, deck hardware, etc. When I finally had it down to what I bought it for, it was a 19'8" fiberglass shell. A blank canvas for the boat it was to become.

The height of the SeaCraft craze, in terms of prices, seems to have coincided with the housing bubble. Or to put it another way, your boat was worth more in 2005/2006 than it is in 2010.
