Boat value?

[Shorelunch]

I have a 1986 Nordic Crestliner with a 1988 70hp and an 8hp Evinrude that I would like to find a value for (to sell). Does anyone know where to find boat values?

Try iboat.com, boattrader.com or fishingworks.com

Nada books have boat values also.

Check www.nadaguides.com

Let me know about it when you decide a price.

Does $3,500 sound too high, low or about right for a 16ft '86 Nordic Crestliner fish-n-ski (similar to a Sportfish/Super Hawk). It has an '88 70hp Evinrude w/ tilt & trim and and 8 hp Evinrude that runs quieter than most 4 strokes. The 8hp is a manual start but is rigged to control steering, forward/reverse and speed at the console. It would come with a 32lb thrust (I believe) Minnkota, two batteries and a Shorelander roller trailer. The interior is in very good condition and the exterior and trailer are in good/fair condition. Has livewell, everything works well and the motors run very well (it sat in my grandpa's garage most of the time from '88 - 95 and I've used it fairly sparingly since). Thanks.

Sounds like a decent price to me. Should be able to sell it for that price with all the goodies. I've owned/sold boats in that age and price range and had no problems selling. Might be a slow time of the year to sell though? April and May are the best times to sell IMHO.

Cash or cashier's check written to you.
I have accepted personal checks B4 just because I trust too many people, but I know how to find them if anything goes wrong

I agree with CD. Never take a personal check unless you know 100% you can trust the person. Good Luck!

If I sell my boat to a private party, what's the best way to collect payment?
