Close to making a trade,boat has 325 hours,never an engine issue,but for good resale,top,bottom,and blowers probrably need a refreshening. He was quoted 10K for everything,is that in the ballpark? If we trade,I was thinking about offering the boat at X $ including a rebuild,or discount 10K for the boat as-is. Some buyers may want to take a chance and save 10K,or maybe they have a buddy that can do it for less.Again,no issues,but it is in the time frame for freshening. Am I approaching this the right way?

I agree with it is time for the freshening. Not sure if the price is in the ballpark or not. Drives may need a freshening too, I'd at least have a look at them to see how the lower gears are doing.

I would get your own quote just to make sure that price is correct.....personally I'd want the boat discounted as is and rebuild it myself (with an intercooler and more boost!!!)

That is hard because what if they run into a snag or unexpected problem during refresh and costs go up? If I were a buyer I'd like to see the work done and add the 10k to the price before I bought. I know some here may want otherwise (ie do it themselves or custom rebuild) but I don't want the hassle to be honest. Plus if you modify it, most insurance companies say bye bye.
