Value On a nordic heat
 

Hey guys just want to pick your heads for a bit. Im thinking of selling me 2003 heat, New 525 with xr drive and full hyd steering, brand new 2011 nordic Upulstry (done by nordic) , and a custom trailer also brand new, custom painted. boat just got color sanded and buffed so there is not one thing wrong with it.

I was thinking to list it for 65-75k.. al though it is a 2003 the boat is brand new wiith 70 hours on the hull, and always stored in bull head city in its own condo.

I bought the boat new in 03 as a hull and finally finished it last year..

Lets see some pictures.

It will come down to finding the right buyer. No idea what it "books" for but i am assuming it isn't 75k, so the loan crowd might have a hard time.

What do you want to replace it with?

:eekdrop:not to sure what I want to get next, just going to take a break from boating, we had a new baby and I dont see us going out much in the future

Booking depends a lot on the loaner... When I went through USAA, they booked mine with all the options at almost 68k with trailer included. There was a bit of chuckling involved since the asking price was no where near that. If you are not a very serious seller, list it however you want, but it may sit for a long time in limbo like that.

Ya thats what I figured too, im not hurting to sell the boat just thinking ill start at 75k and go from there. I have the pink free and clear which is always good too.

I think you're quite high, but time will tell.

Go to NADA used boat values. This is where most boat dealers go to determine trade-in and retail values. Indy is correct it will be well south of the $75k target.

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
