Friend has not used this boat in the last couple years and wants to sell.... What is the realistic market value for it....Clean fresh water boat with low hours.

$35 to $40K. Just an uneducated guess at what someone might actually pay for it. Some on boattrader.com are asking $60K-ish but I think they are dreaming.

I agree that the $60k that he wanted to list it for is very high. My guestimate was $45k ish. I think that he was offered $42k on a trade toward a new boat with the new boat price being competitive.

Down here it could bring mid 40s.

mid 40's?

Its a toss up since the boat may be in great shape but has older, dash, rub rail, steering wheel, Graphics,Hatchs,...... I think it to be a real nice boat but when pricing it would consider all the things that most buyers would prefer updated. I would seriously think in the 40-48K range,

I wouldn't go higher than 40 for that boat...and that's pushing it.

This 1998 was 48k a couple of months ago. Its still for sale at 51k.

It looks as if the cockpit has been redone because I don't think that they started using that seat design until 95 or 96.

I also looks like some people may be talking about what they would expect to pay (around 40) and others are talking about what to list it for (around 45). I agree that where it is listed now is way too high so I would list it at a lower price. Where I would go now would depend on how much of a hurry he is in to get rid of it. It is the beginning of a new season so he could start in the high 40s and go from there.

Talked to my friend and convinced him to lower the listing price to $49,900. Boat can be bought for mid 40's on a trailer.
Fresh water boat with low hours and very clean, even by my standards.
