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 bought my Cafe late fall of 2014, it would have been in your budget. At the time there were several Cafes on the market so values were down as supply was high. 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 .

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

LOL, I notice you have quite a bit of grey in your interior now. How's that peanut butter and jealous tasting?

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?
