Value of 2004 27 Fever

Does anybody know anything about this boat? I am thinking about pulling the trigger and buying it. What do you guys think a "good deal" is on this boat? I would love the 29 Fountain but I am looking for a boat that is atleast 2000 or newer and they all seem to be out of my price range.

I have an 05 and it's a great boat. Most of the boats I see advertised are somewhere around 40K. The 496HO is pretty much bullet proof. The 27 vs 29 tradeoff as has been debated endlessly. I use mine on a freshwater lake and it has been very reliable.

Boat looks really clean and cared for, the trailer is definitely the weak link of the sale.

He's right, mine came on a vanguard trailer.

idk much about the trailers. If you guys were buying the boat, what would be a good offer?

It does look like a clean boat.

Unfortunately, you are pretty far away from KY. Otherwise, I'd suggest that you offer him a stack of $100 bills about $35,000 high (and have another $5000 in the truck, just in case) and see if he takes it. 1 owner boat - I'd guess it's paid off by now.

I can't find much close to NJ. Have any of you guys actually agreed on a price over text/phone and then got there and offered significantly less and completed the sale?


It seems like a buyer should take a couple thousand less if the buyer is paying with cash so he doesn't have to report anything to the IRS

I made a deal over the phone before I had someone or myself look at the boat I bought (1200 miles away). That agreement was based on what the seller said about the boat(nothing wrong). I had a surveyor check out the boat and it came back prefect. So I drove the 1200 miles to pick it up. Paid the seller the agreed price and drove off.

If I was the seller and we agreed upon a price based on what was represented, and the boat was exactly as represented, I wouldn't accept a penny less. If you came and wanted to get it for a lower price I would tell you to take a hike.

As far as getting the boat cheaper because you are paying cash, that wouldn't make any difference for me because most likely I'm selling the boat for less than I paid for it.

agree 100%

not trying to be a smart a$$,,but would you pay the seller more once there and it turned out to be nicer than you thought ?

The boat is the real deal... It is a one owner boat me and my wife had built. Boat has never left Kentucky and has been garage kept since day one. I have 2 kids in college and would like to sell. Would hate to see my old girl go and may not. Boat is priced to sell with no hidden agenda. Whoever gets it will not be disappointed for sure. Serviced and ready for another year whether it sells or not.

Best bet show up as a serious buyer and put together a deal.

27 fever for 27,500

That a nice looking boat.

I am some what surprised that you cannot find a 29 in the 44000 price range. There is a nice looking 29 with single 496 in florida for 45000 on Boats & Yaghts for sale. There is a beautiful 32 on craigslist for 40000 I want to say it was in the ohio area It had the green eclipse graphics. I think if I would have found that before my 29 I would have bought that one.

I only bring this up because I notice that you are in the Jersey area a 27 can get small. IMO I would wait a month or two there will more than likely be a lot more pop up for sale. Just have the cash ready to go.

38-40K would be a good price if the interior and gel coat are in good condition. It is very hard to tell form pictures, you need to go see the boat in person and take it for a ride to see if everything works and make sure it runs good.

I bought a 2003 that looks exactly like that a year and a half ago, except red interior instead of blue and my windshield is a little taller with a better trailer and 145 hours for 38k OTD. They were asking $44,500.

POP Yachts has a 2004 29 that has the same 496 and the same paint scheme and they are asking 45000

The 29's are reasonable with that power but to get one with a 525 you will have to pay a lot more. Another big factor on price is salt or fresh water boat. Then it comes down to condition. If the gel is in good shape, has no dock rash, the upholstery shows little to no wear and the boat has been run in fresh water only then you would expect to pay more.

Pop Yachts usually puts a high price on the boats that I have looked at that they were brokering. Makes me think that that boat may have been well used without even seeing a picture.
