Here's the deal, to replicate this boat from nordic would be around 125k, and thats just with a cheap extreme trailer.

I think the boat only having 70 hours on it, brand new upolstry (from nordic) , bad ass trailer and hp525pkg should be in the 65-75k range, thats about 50k off someone buying it new. I know that market sux for boats but at the end of the day if someone wants it they will fork out the cash for it. If I was hurting for money and needed a quick sale, I would list it for 55k

Youve got a unique situation...10 yr old boat with only 70 hours, new upholstry and new trailer so its going to be hard to determine...
I know IF you had the same boat with a 496 magho it would probably be worth somewhere around 50k...that being said with a 525 I would guess the value is somewhere in the 57k range.

FYI--Ive got a friend who was trying to sell his 2002 Nordic Heat with 496 magho and 850 hours, factory trailer with some rust and couldnt get any bites at 40k. There was some interest at 35k...

Ya true on the year, but 496 and hp525 with full hyd steering xr drive is a big upgrade from a 496/

but at the end of the day the thing will prob sit for sale for a year, maybe a few tire kickers will call..

But i think my low number is 65k

The problem you've got is that it's a 10 yr old boat on paper. Financing will be very difficult and someone having 65k cash is even more difficult. I'm in the boat business and that middle market has all but ceased to exist because of the difficulty borrowing money. But all it takes is that one special buyer. Be patient and they will show up.

Reality sucks.

I sold my '02 with full dual ram hydraulic steering, 496HO, and some nice tweaks in a GOOD market south of $50. I'd be lucky to get in the $40s now, my guess would be low 40s and upper $30s.

Not to be a bummer to the OP but I think it's probably gonna sit for quite a while at your prices.

I got a offer from a good friend of mine for 64k, never thought i would have a serious buyer, now I have to part ways with the boat. My next boat in a few years will be the open bow thor
