As much as it pains me I might sell my bird.... What can I get out of it in this market?

It is a 87 223 LS with 454 w/ alpha 500 hrs

It looks good and everything works

I have replaced

Fuel tank
Carb
Trim tab pump
Gimbels and bellows
All water pumps
blowers
cables
etc etc etc
its turn key

trailer
new tires
bearings
axles
bunks
winch
actuator
jack
(everything)

Interior
good condition
Newer sunpad and rear seat
new snap in carpet

Anything and everything has been updated and working

I just want to know if its going to be worth selling or should I just hold on to it............

I love boating its part of my life but the wifes job probly wont be able to go this year with her, my son loves it but the extra cash would be nice (just bought a house) and baby 2 on the way

be honest my feelings wont get hurt

thanks guys

Perfect!!! :drink:


But seriously, it's a nice Bird. I would think low teens. Book is likely lower than that but at a certain point, book value doesn't really apply. The problem is that the boat is worth more than book but banks won't lend that much. You need someone who can plunk down cash. Someone looking for a nice 223 will spend for that boat. And, if they don't, you're not stuck holding a high-dollar rig.

third thanks for the remarks

you are right I wouldn't mind going without her at all and have done it plenty : )

it would be nice to have some extra cash and looking at the Calander I dont see a weekend for months that I will be able to go and Its not worth de-winterizing it for one weekend




Im torn.............^%$&#$^

decide you future, thats alotta boat to replace down the road if your gonna go boating again keep it if your talking a few years might be worth selling, as far as price hope for 10k if you get the right buyer maybe slightly more

thanks for the input..... you hit the nail on the head about replacing it down the road

my email is [email protected] if anyone is interested

thanks
