A friend of mine in Tn sold his 01 25 outlaw with a 496 mag and close to your hours for $40,000 this past June. That should help you some. The ones telling you 20,000 are way out there, there is no way i would let it go for that. You put that boat out there for that and they will be beating your door down to get to it.

Who cares what you "got" for your boat & what you "gave" for the new one. The thing to look at is what is called "trade difference".
Numbers can be adjusted on the trade to make you think you are getting a good deal.
In the car business we would show a person to be getting 12k for their trade when we may actually be only putting 8k in it. There may have been a 8k profit in the car we were selling, if it was sold outright, with no trade.
So now we have a 12k trade worth 8k & a car for sale that has 8k profit in it. We still made 4k on the deal that we probably palnned on only making a 4 or 5k profit on in the 1st place.
Trade difference is the ONLY number that is important! That is what yo uactually pay for the product.

There is an ad on here for a '06 25 OL 496HO for $53K. I think that that is a fair price. This time of year and market you may be able to get low 30's selling outright but trade in will be far less. I would think you could get your way up to high 20's. You may want to get the bottom line on the new one first before you offer the trade.

$21K is reasonable. Here is a 99 24 pantera for $22.5 http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/3/6/91086136.htm
Granted, thats a hell of a deal, but competition also dictates price. 35-40 please, you can get a 28 for that price.

21k is not "reasonable", I would buy every 25 outlaw I could find for 21k.

"Please", I would take the 25 outlaw over any 24 pantera out there. Don't get me wrong, I like Pantera's but the 24Pantera and the 25 Outlaw are two very different boats- they are not comparable.
21k is not "reasonable", I would buy every 25 outlaw I could find for 21k.

I agree that 21K seems a little low, however you don't have to trade! The dealer is taking a chance that your boat may be on its last leg, need a new drive or motor. If the dealer resells it and it blows up the first ride out do you think the new buyer is coming after you, no! they will go after the dealer. Also lets be very honest here, used boat sales are way down, the shift of selling your old boat is shifted to them and their overhead.
Just all to take into consideration. Either way good luck on your new boat

I would assume they would put a little money back into it to make it sell and ask mid to high 30's for it.
Do boat dealers auction off used boats like they do used cars?
