A large factor is the economy,everything is selling for WHOLE SALE, not retail. right now i would take an offer for a boat you might not get another, and when you reject that offer, that offer will not be valid for long.
now my reconsidered opinion:, start at 7.5 + trailer.. at 8.5ish(i dont like to pay anything for Boats/cars even if there worth more)
trailers are a funny thing,not having a trailer devalues a boat a lot , but when you have one it is not a large price jump.
My boat was listed at 5k(91 supra sunpsort with composite stringers)
the trailer- destroyed -2000
not running -1000
Beat up -400
i paid 1.6,i put in about $400
Found out my engine is blown
so i have 2k in it , and plan on spending about 3-4k on a new/rebuilt engine.
so i still feel ahead of the game, if i plan to sell it when i'm done i would list at 7.5k, i would take an offer of 5.5-6k, if no one was willing to pay at least 5.5k i would wait and someone stupid would find it and love it and pay me 5.5k+.
But i plan to keep the boat for the next 20-30 years,
KEEEP YOURR BOATTT!!!!!!!!
