But seriously, it's a nice Bird. I would think low teens. Book is likely lower than that but at a certain point, book value doesn't really apply. The problem is that the boat is worth more than book but banks won't lend that much. You need someone who can plunk down cash. Someone looking for a nice 223 will spend for that boat. And, if they don't, you're not stuck holding a high-dollar rig.

third thanks for the remarks
you are right I wouldn't mind going without her at all and have done it plenty : )
it would be nice to have some extra cash and looking at the Calander I dont see a weekend for months that I will be able to go and Its not worth de-winterizing it for one weekend
Im torn.............^%$&#$^

decide you future, thats alotta boat to replace down the road if your gonna go boating again keep it if your talking a few years might be worth selling, as far as price hope for 10k if you get the right buyer maybe slightly more
