And I'm not discounting the value of NorCal's advice. Not one bit. I truly value all of the great information offered here on CSR!!!
As far as NADA is concerned. Comps are great if you can find them, but on a boat this old, good luck finding one in the same condition in the same geographical region to pull comps on. Everybody on this thread says the NADA value on this boat is way overpriced but then I read another thread where everyone says NADA is too low, it favors the dealers and "If I was selling my boat and someone offered me NADA I would tell them to go %&@# themselves" So which is it? I use NADA for a ballpark idea, but at the end of the day your boat is worth EXACTLY what you can sell it for. Also, if you have to finance your purchase, which I'm sure many do, good luck getting a loan for more than book value.
