I am looking at a 21ft 1984 Four Winns Liberator with a 350, 260 HP Mercruiser. The boat is in great condition with only one small ding in the gel coat. Interior and hardwood are in great shape too. Boat has low hours too......

They guy will take 6200.........

Is this still too much.

Hello,
Maybe, maybe not!
How many hours?
Where is it?
Do you have pictures?
How is the trailer?
What are the other features? (cover, bimini, electronics)
More important to all that, what is it worth to you?

I bet he will! I bet he will take 3K, or less.

I did look it up on nada, but I also looked up several other boats forsale on nada and the prices on nada are generally 1/3 the asking price.

The trailor is in great shape. It looks brand new. There is no rips in the interior either. I am not sure of the hours, but it has not been ran much...see ad.

i know a lot of four winns i have looked at have the omc drive train i think one with a mercruiser its worth more also time of the year things are generally worth more big question is has it been repowered and is it a fresh water boat for comparison i bought my 1989 24' mach 1 fresh water only great trailer 454 with bravo outdrive needs some interior work but usable and recent repower for $4000 i think mach 1 and four winns are close to same quality

The boat is fresh water only. I do not know if it has been repowered, and I don't even know what "repowered" means. I did notice "454" on the outdrive....I really don't know much about motors or boats for that matter.

Any advice helps. It is definitely the nicest one I've seen in the area and I've probably looked at 10-15 boats between $3,000 and $8,000

More pictures, more Pictures, more PICTURES!

You are sort of right about NADA, it is not that often "on point", but can be a good reference. A better way to value, although it takes time, is to search for as many of this boat or extremely similar boats and average a price on other sites like iBoat, Boat Trader, etc. Then determine how the boat you are looking at compares to average.

How far away from you is it? If far, don't forget to calculate into the purchase price the cost of transporting the boat from the south side of Pittsburgh to where you are. If not far, go look at it. That small blemish in the gelcoat might be a torpedo hole.

Most don't understand this, I do, if this is the boat of your dreams, it is worth more to you.

Repowered means a new motor/engine

It says 454 on outdrive? That is curious! Very curious!

prthd9

Yes, I believe so. It had the numbers 454 on the very rear above the propellar and hydrolics (well they look like hydrolics to me).

I'll find out for sure, and post it. I just text the guy about it, and asked for the hours. What does that mean if it does have the 454?
