Value of this 2002 Lightning 38?
I have been given the task of selling this boat for my company. I need to figure out its value. It has been sitting in climate controlled storage since 2007. These pictures were taken by me in 2008, the boat hasn't moved an inch in that time. It only has 70 hours on it.
The specs are as follows:
2002 Fountain Lightning 38. Twin staggered, supercharged, Mercruiser 575's. Boat is red with grey Fountain graphics and checkered flag. Stepped hull. Boat will do 95 mph. It is in excellent condition, with the only blemish being some chipped paint at the waterline. New South Florida Trailers triple axle trailer included. Boat is located in Hingham, MA.
This boat comes with three covers, a mooring cover, a cockpit cover, and a bimini top with enclosure... I think they call this top a 100 mph top.
The way it is positioned in the storage facility, limits my ability to get a very good angle for pictures, sorry.

It's worth $ 1500.00 with the trailer. Where do I send the check? Seriously though, check the classifieds for something similar. There's NADA for boats, too, but values there aren't considered totally trustworthy. Good luck and use your legs when moving all that snow.

Kinda curious because I have the same boat with the same power, keep us posted on what it sells for......but into today's market I am guessing it will be around $80k with that trailer.
BTW stock that boat will run 88 mph on a summer day, and 91 when it is 60 +/- degrees out, no more no less....trust me

If you say so on the Gun, by my experience tells me otherwise. Keep in mind that boat and mine stock have standard lowers. Many guns with that package have -2
I only give real numbers, not the number of that one special day with props that take an hour to get on plane

Thinking my market analysis was way off......not a good time to be in the boat selling business.

That is a real, verified GPS number in fresh water, when the boat had just a few hours on it from new. My test sheet shows 90 mph, so it was what I expected.
