What's my boat worth?

[LiveLine]

It is a 1978 SeaCraft 23' open fish. 1996 Mercury 250 EFI, less than 400 hours. Furuno 582 Color CRT bottom machine with bronze thru-hull transducer, Sitex Loran, Furuno Differential GPS, Flowscan fuel management. Bennet trim tabs. Custom aluminum leaning post and T-Top with life vest storage. 300' of anchor rode, anchor and retrieval ball. All coast gaurd equiment included. 1-year old Tandem axle aluminum trailer with brakes. I am thinking of selling and getting a World Cat of Glacier Bay. Any help is appreciated. There are pictures of it under Mr. Pells 23' SeaCraft

It would be sad to part with such a terrific boat. But a cat would be pretty nice too.



IMO, an in the know SeaCraft person would be right to pay $15,000 on the low side and over $20,000 if the hull and fuel tank, etc. are in great shape.

Beauty (value) is in the eyes of the beholder...

It is only worth what you get. So my question is How much do you want to get? signed ...an interested party [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I would like to get $15k for it. It is not perfect, but in great shape none the less. It will be sad to see her go....I really love this boat, but just had a baby, and the wife says I need a bigger boat [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

My guess with the electronics package, armstrong bracket and a strong motor would be in the upper teen range with the trailer. That alone is worth 2 grand. If you list it in your local paper, it should be out of your driveway before the ad expires.

Thanks guys.....I guess I am going to list it and see what happens.

If you sell her, you'll never realize the 3 boat theory. Keep the 23, buy the 26 Glacier Bay with the Suzuki 140's and you're just one step away.
