Nordic Heat
 

A buddy of mine is selling his 2004 Heat and has it posted in OSO classifieds. It is the yellow one. Can anyone chine in on what you think the price should be?? Is this too high??

Re: Nordic Heat
 

It does not say how many hours on the Boat.......But I think the price is a very good starter Price.......

Re: Nordic Heat
 

Regardind the price, I think he's OK. Sharp boat, loaded up.
The only "option" this boat doesn't have (or need with current power) is hydraulic steering.
It is interesting that this 2004 boat has a 502 MAG instead of a 496 MAG. I thought the 502 Mag was replaced by the 496 in 2001.
Not a problem, there are more aftermarket mods for Gen 6s, particularly if the new owner wants to modify. Just curious.
Was this the original motor?

Re: Nordic Heat
 

MIght be a bit high based on options and also the ratio of list to selling price of my Heat. I had custom bolsters from Nordic, full hydraulic with tilt from the helm, 496HO, tabs, Lonseal floor, diamond plate engine compartment and I didn't get near 69 for it. I understand it's a list price, but I might lower it if I wanted a sale in a reasonable peiod of time. Shouldn't stop anybody from making an offer though.

The boat only has about 30 hours. He bought it new last year. Before that he had a Baja that came with the 502MPI. After two seasons, he traded the Baja in for this Nordic. The Nordic had a 496 & I convinced him to swap motors so if he wanted to upgrade, he had more to work with at the time. The Baja only had about 60 hours so we rounded the package to 50 hours.

Steve,

See the above post, came with a 496 but he swaped motors with his old Baja. Very nice boat, Stays in a garage every day. It could pass for new in a show room. Could make someone a very nice ride.

When I was at the St Louis Boat show in Feb 2005 they had a 28 heat Idenical to that one.....Are the 2 the same Boats

Re: Nordic Heat
 

Im not positive, but it was purchased in St Louis, so I want to say yes.

Re: Nordic Heat
 

I took pictures of that Boat in St Louis ...I just looked thru all my pictures but was unable to find them....But I am sure its the same Boat

Re: Nordic Heat
 

Linster,
I understand. Did you run the boat with both motors? What was the performance differential, if any?
What is he buying next?

Re: Nordic Heat
 

That is a beautiful Heat, I love the colors. I heard from the Nordic dealer in Michigan that Nordic increased the price of the 06 model line. That should be good for the resale on used boats!

Re: Nordic Heat
 

Linnie - if for some strange reason he gets a bite and the buyer does not want a trailer, let me know...I need a replacement badly. I would hate to by new with an upgrade looming in the near future :)

Re: Nordic Heat
 

Steve,

He test drove the boat with the 496. After he bought it, he towed the Baja to the dealer & the dealer did the engine swap as part of the deal. When he picked it up, he tested the 502 to look for leaks and did not have any. I'm not sure, but I think both ran about the same. I will ask him today.

Shawn,

If he dont sell the boat soon he may want to sell just the trailer. He bought a place on the Potomac and at low tide he can get the boat on. If he had a roll on trailer he can. I will let him know as well.


Magic, we thought so as well, but have not had any calls. Maybe just need some more time.

Re: Nordic Heat
 

I think the market is slow now on used boats. Be patient the right buyer will surface soon. With those colors the boat should sell quick. I love the colors, what a sweet ride!

Re: Nordic Heat
 

I can tell you that dealer cost on a 28 has gone up about $10k since the 2004 model year, all options being equal.

Re: Nordic Heat
 

This boat is mint, hardly ever used and catches a lot of eyes.

Re: Nordic Heat
 

I saw the ad for the boat on boat trader online.

Re: Nordic Heat
 

New 2006 replacement with similar options 496HO power & trailer will cost you $88k retail. Freight and dealer prep not included.

Significant material costs increases are driving the higher prices. We can thank our energy issues for this.

How the government is convincing us that inflation is flat astounds me.
