Thinking of selling... last of my bachelor stuff.. 91 conbrio

[powderjay]

Checking to see if it's worth selling my 91 conbrio. We have outgrown this boat and need something bigger!! I purchased her from the original owner with about 20 hrs back in 93. She now has 570. I have all the books and records since new along with service manuals. She has the 351 pcm engine and has performed flawlessly. New carpet and interior last winter. Floors and stringers looked good when carpet was out. We have already purchased a new boat that we keep at our cottage.. just seeing if I should dump this or keep it local. I know, horrible first post, but any help on her value is appreciated.

The value is hard to pinpoint because the true value is what's it's worth to you and the potential buyer. The stringers look good? That wouldn't be good enough for me unless the price was right, but to someone else it may not even be a second thought. The boat looks great in the pics, and the low hours and small number of owners helps too. I'm guessing you might get between $8k and $12k depending on your local market and the buyer.

So what's the new boat?

What lake is your boat pictured in, it sure looks beautiful. I have a 91 also, they both seem to look in the same condition. I am in Michigan and we have a very short season so the price would probably be a little lower here. Mine is probably worth about 8K and I only have 186 original hours on the boat. I am the 3rd owner, good luck.

Love the color scheme, if that was a Comp, I'd be tempted.

As for the boat, with factory stringers, but new interior and carpet, I would say that boat could fetch between $6,000-$8,000. If it's truly in as great condition as it looks, I'd lean towards the $8,000 range.

Haugy has the right numbers if you want it to sell with lots of interest and in a timely fashion. Ask a little more off the bat to test the waters and advertise on CL for $8995 complete with trailer and some of the older safety stuff which you have doubles of with the new boat. Within the first few days you will know if it is priced correct wrt emails and potential buyers.

If it was a 92 composite boat the value would definitely increase but with the wooden stringers it really knocks the value down. Nice timeless colour scheme Conbrio....

Torch Lake in northern MI. Some say she's the third most beautiful lake in the world.

Amazing. I'll have to make an excuse to go up there some time. Looks like it's only ~6hours from me.

Saw this picture on your link. Got to love the custom Packer Wakesetter!

Definetly worth the trip! Find a VRBO on the lake and spend a week there, lots of attractions nearby....

I started making the plans for this with friends..... luckily one of them did some research and found out there is actually two torch lakes. The one in the UP (about 6 hours from me) and then the one on the other side of the lake near Traverse City (10 hours.) Bummer!

The one near Traverse City is gorgeous! Flown over it a few times and landed on it as well.
