Boat Value: Used Powerplay's

I didnt realize the ads were older. You bring up a good point, newer boat (more freeboard) and Merc motors will absolutely bring up the value.....but whats really the "market" for a 1997 and newer PP with Merc motors??? THIS is the question! Im guessing in the $45K - $75K range would be typical in good condition, covers and on a good trailer? The other question....since these boats are 20 yrs old now (crazy, some look almost new still) is this mostly for all cash buyers as well? I think it would be difficult to get a loan on a 20 yr old boat.
Might want to do some reading in the Insurance and Financing section.

However it became time to invest in the house and I've been pouring money and time into it for years, hopefully completing the addition/remodel this year. Next up is going to be a more "hang-out" friendly boat, maybe a sporty senator council or even some sort of cruiser that I can have family/friends on and just hang. Outboards will be preferable since crawling around a bilge is getting old at my age.
Who knows what I'll wind up with but PP's will alway be a favorite of mine.
