Here is the site for the NADA prices. They are always too low. Sometimes I find what I think is a heck of a deal, then look it up on NADA and it will show a lower price than the great deal I find. Boat prices are much more related to the condition of the vessel than cars are. Don't put much stock in the numbers.

That is also the only one i know of but thankfully we have that or else the dealers might be really ripping us.
It works well for stock boats. You cant put in some of the custom values like engine HP, you can put up to 500. So if you have KE's or HP900's or something you will have to come up with a figure.
Although my buddy bought a cat and the bank wouldnt give him as much money as he needed bc it said the value was at lot lower than the asking price. So he showed were NADA wrote "These boats are custom built and the values represented are with stock items, some values may need to be adjusted higher" And they gave him the loan.

Check out the BUC Website it's dedicated just to boats. Last time I looked at boat values they were higher than NADA and more inline with a boats true valu.

As a dealer, I find that the computor program fro ABOS is the best. I f you have a specific boat, send me the details including trailer, and I could FAX you the info.
