2001 WARRIOR V177 FALCON SC

And on that note ... I'm entertaining a trade-in instead of selling this boat outright. That will obviously be a lot less than what I'm asking (those dealers have to make thier money too). Anybody interested in throwing me an offer?

Can you post any more pics of the interior or send to mnreefgeek (@) yahoo.com? Don't know how I missed this before. Warriors ROCK!

mnfish ... you got mail! Let me know if they came thru OK.

I've been crunching the numbers pretty hard for a day or two. If I sell outright, then I pay tax for the full amount on a new boat. If I trade, then of course I pay tax on the difference only. For a break-even number (trade vs. sell outright) I would be right around $17,100. It's much easier to trade in a boat then it is to sell one outright, what with all the potential buyers coming to look at it, and who knows if I have an interested party or not. I would say my bottom dollar on selling it outright would be $17,600. My boat/motor/trailer in NADA guides has a retail of between $16,000 & $18,000 (rounded off). That's without any of the many extras I have on there. Both Lowrance's were new in 2006, as well as the VHF & antenna. Those things along with the Navionics chip cost $1300 w/out tax. The Minn-Kota, the anchormate, the dual-pro charger, the Ritchie compass puts it at about $2500 in electronics and misc. included. OK ... a little long-winded, but I wanted to let you know where my pricing comes from. It would be a much easier decision on what to do if the @%#* boat & outboard promotions didn't end tomorrow! I'm pretty sure the outboard companies will continue their incentives after 03-31-07 (due to a pretty slow start this year in new sales), but who knows? Let me know if you're interested. I'm heading to the Rainy River on Sunday to take out my aggression on some 'eyes. I'll get back to everyone after that if I don't trade in tomorrow!

Well, didn't go to the Rainy yet. Probably leave on Friday. Didn't trade the boat in either, I didn't want to lose out on selling outright if I can. The tax difference once I put pen to paper wasn't enough to justify it. LAST PRICE DROP ... $18,000! The way this boat is set-up it will cost you $30,000 + to get in a new one. Make an offer if you're interested!

BOAT HAS SOLD! Thanks for all the interest. Now to pick a new one!
