1996 896 DC Value

[Todd Coughlin]

Hi, I am getting close to buying my first Bass Boat. I am looking for advice on the value of a Nitro 1996 896DC. This boat is in great condition. It has a 150HP Mercury on it and 2 fish finders, Hydraulic steering, a jack plate and new controls. In addition, are there any concerns that I should know about with this year/make/model? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks-Todd

Welcome Todd, what are they asking? Have you checked NADA? A 96 is a well used boat and as always, if the price is right, it should all depend on an on-the-water test drive to test all of the features and a qualified mechanic checking out the motor.

Todd there is one here with a 225 on it that is in perfect condition for $13000. Believe me when I say that it is very low hours and in perfect condition. He has not used it ofter and I bet the whole outfit doesn't have 60 hours on it. But like Toxic says, what does NADA say?



Great boat and great riding boat.



Randy!

Man, I'd love to see that thing run! It would go like a scalded cat, I bet. It's a shame the CG sticker limits the 896 hull at 200 ponies. Insurance would be unattainable also, but it would be a hoot to run and would probably handle it well.

Chris, I wish I was in the market because that is one sweet boat!!

i bought a lightly used 96 896 with a 175 about three years and I love it I asked the local experenced guys what dealer treats them right and had it checked out and everything brought up to specks and never had a problem since I use at Lake of the ozarks where it is rough with a capital R and it rides great everything says tight. I alwatys go by first impression If the seats look good and the glas is not ozidized then it was probably taken care of. I bought mine off ebay 3 years ago for $ 6500 but that was a heck of a buy in times like this there is always someone looking to unload fast check e-bay and craig list but you won't be disappoinjted with the boat
