Does anyone have any idea why the nada price on a 2004 Fountain Fever decreases by $16,000 between 2004 and 2003. Were there changes to the hull or something to cause this? That seems like an awful big decrease for one year from $63,000 to $47,000.

NADA is useless for many marine applications, even automotive I would say.. just my 2 cents. What size are you referring to for the 2003-04 changes?

32 Fever. Agree but that is what banks and insurance companies use for value and it is a good ballpark.

nada and KBB are all about useless in my mind specially for boats, cars they are little better. Unfortunately thats what lenders use because frankly there is nothing else. Most lenders will still only finance 90% of what nada says, some do more but I dont think that thats norm. But personally I think one should put enough money down on a boat where if you have to borrow your way under nada and it wont matter anyways. 0 or very little down on toys is a bad habit IMVHO, your constantly always under water or close to it because depreciation on these things suck.

Well there are very few 2003 32s out there. I've only ever seen one for sale. Actually you do not see many 02's either. the one I saw had 500 EFI's. I do not know of any changes to that model, someone who knows the 32 better will have to help you out with that.

Try Bucvalu.com....thats what dealers use for "real" trade value and selling prices.

I forget what year but on the 32's they started to put twin SBC's in.

All others had twin BBC, maybe that is why.

Other would know better but think this is close. I know there was a switch to using sbc's only and I THOUGHT there was a time where they stopped production on these and brought them back. Thought like a year or something gap in production when they went from having BBC's to only SBC's

2003 and 2004, both of the years in question, they had twin small blocks.
