98 27 laser
 

What is the "real" money on a 98 Laser with a 385 HP 454? Do not know the hours, but assume its normal.
I have a guy who wants me to take that boat on trade, thanks

I don't know if this helps, but I sold my 98 260 last December for 24K. It seems like every other one was asking 30K plus at the time. Me included. But when it came time to sell that is what I got.

check out www.nada.com

I would have to say on a rough guess, without know anyting about the boat, the equipment or condition, anywhere from 30-40 g's.

Good friend just sold his 97 270 laser for 35K in Michigan I would be asking about the same for mine with shore power week-end pkg microwave, fridge with 380 hrs. on 385hp 454 mag.

I looked at one two years ago that was cherry , seems to me it had just over 300 hrs and I belive a 1997. I made an offer and could not make it work but someone else came along and paid just over $30,000 for it. But again it was a cherry!!! There was one in the Detroit area a couple years back that had only 80hrs and they were asking 36k and it was for sale for nearly 2 years.

Lets face it people are looking for the deals and everytime I see one in good condition in the 20's it alwyas seems to sell.

is it me or does PQ loose their values over time alot quicker then others? Seems to me that fountains and cigs hold their values?

Re: 98 27 laser
 

It probably helps that Cig and Fountain are still producing boats and participating in marketing, advertising, and the APBA. They are more of a "house-hold" name compared to PQ.

Even when PQ was in business they lagged behind the others when it came to marketing and getting the name out there.

very true,

Re: 98 27 laser
 

Agree, I've even noticed due to I've been doing a little shopping that Baja even tends to have a higher re-sell value than the PQ. Image sells!!

Re: 98 27 laser
 

Theirs a lot of overpriced boats out there,just because their
asking a certain price it does not mean they will get it.
look at boattrader some of those boats have been for sale for a year or two. its a buyers market.
PQ still has a strong following in Michigan
once you go out boat shopping and compare its hard to beat a PQ

Re: 98 27 laser
 

Let's not forget why all of us bought a PQ for in the first place! The ride that can't be beat in the same size boat!!!!!! The storage that you have in an Enticer is the same as TWO fountains!!!!!!! I'm in southern In. and in the last 3 years we have seen about 6 or 7 new powerquest owners!! You don't see alot of PQ for sale because the buyers are very happy with them!!!!

baja's are terrible with storage too
