Sure, I'll play..
Bob, did you assume I was financing 100% of the boat through my credit union? You know what they say about ass-umptions.. The value of the boat/trailer is based 100% on NADA value and unfortunatly not on a survey. |

I have yet to see prices anywhere near where they were when I bought my boat and I would certainly not sell it in this market for what I paid for it, but I have done several upgrades since purchasing it. You will eventually find what you are looking for, but you will need to be very patient, and very quick when the right boat hits the market. I had the deal struck on mine 3 days after it hit the market, it would have been gone quickly had I waited.

According to NADA an 1986 Cig. is worth $23, 000 .
How does that make sense? Matt, yours was cheap cause it was a suicide scene, (grey interior, gets you everytime) are you feeling ok btw?? :kiss: |

How does that make sense? The more that's poured into older boats the farther away from reality NADA gets. For some reason the 90s work out somewhat better.. |

Take a look here and you'll see what I mean. A lot of early 90s boats end up looking kinda like that. Maybe its some sort of algorithm... Lol

If I had a total loss and my insurance went by NADA values you`d probably see me on the news at NADA headquarders

Most places use Buc book values, which are a little closer. Boats are a different bird anyway. An ass for every seat and it all depends on what someone is willing to pay. Older boats are more difficult to judge. Problem is as we dump more money into older boats it makes it tough. Other then HELOCs or personal loans nobody will finance old boats. So it limits the buyers. You need to find a cash buyer. Then you look at if someone had that much cash, should they buy much newer and finance versus putting down 60k plus in cash? So it turns into a double edge sword. Which is the better buy?
