What's she worth?

I think 18g's is a conservative figure for a 20 redo with power. My feeling is if you can get away clean for 9k its a no brainer.

Well, where is the value point between these two boats that have been on BTOL recently, and how do they relate to the MA in question? If you accept the point that the prices reflect the desire of both sellers to get the max amount for their boats, can either of these 2 ads support the numbers that are being discussed in this thread?

1980 MA. with a 1988, 150 HP Evinrude:

Hull in average condition, engine tests to spec's, 3 soft spots in the deck, original wiring, gauges, fuel tank, etc. and no electronics fish finder, GPS, etc.).
In fairness, I should say that I was interested in 1980 MA advertised on BTOL, to the point that I had it surveyed and made an offer which was rejected.

1977 Fisherman with a 1999, 200 HP Yamaha.

2-3 weeks ago, Dixie Marine said the price on the 77' Fisherman was $9,500, take it or leave it; offres were not being accepted.
Different hull configuration, larger and much newer engine, new (5 years ago)tank (urethan coated), wiring and gauges, typical array of small boat electronics (VHF, GPS, etc.). Everything looks to be in very good condition (I have not actually seen this boat).

I new about the Marion boat's past, I just wasn't sure if Roger was the buyer (or if it was ever sold at all). Actually, the t-boning was dubbed "bonito rage" when it happened. There's nothing better than getting yourself in the thick of crashing albies/bonito in Vineyard Sound around Derby time. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

It's good to hear that Roger's boat isn't the infamous "victim" of that incident.

Last fall while fishing for FAs at Cape Pogue it was pretty tame. I did see a Black hulled Seacraft. Maybe a 23 inboard or IO. Is that anyone from here?

Craig - Things are good and bad... starting a new job, and am going to be giving up the chartering... good and bad.

The trailer needs work. Everything from new fenders, leaf springs and hubs to a few new rollers. The folks at Portsmouth Trailer want 720.00 to fix it; a bud of mine said he'd do it for 300... just not sure if I want to put the money into it right before selling (new owner may want to do something else - dry store/new trailer).

Guys - THANKS for your input/help. I've been nothing but pleased with my SeaCraft... to tell the truth, I'm almost scared of getting a different boat. But, Momma wants a head (at least a head in the console), and I've got a little one that needs to get out of the sun.
