Hamby Keel Guard

Lowrance X49 up front, stock fish finder on console

Is this a fair price? It's the boat I have right now and it's what I need to sell it for if I want to get another one.



What do you all think?

I just did a quick check on nada.com and the average price for this boat with standard equipment is a little over $6,000. You might be a little high.



Go to nada.com and you can specify more of the equipment you have to get a better price estimate.

I have a '97 700LXDC that I bought this spring for $5200. It has a 120 ELPT and aluminum prop. This was a bank repo so it may not be indicitive of the going rate. I do recall seeing several in the $7500 to $8000 range. You may want to start searching as if you were a buyer, just to see what the competition is. Best of luck to you.

Tim,



I did look in the nada. Although a little over $6 is for standard, the equipment I listed isn't standard. Nada listed my boat just under $9k without the keel guard.

Ken, honestly, that's too high. I have a 99 with a 115 and I wouldn't ask or expect that much.

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Nothing personal, but that's too high for a shorter boat with a 90 on it. Remember the options are the extra selling points that distinguish your boat from another for sale, but won't increase the value that much. I know it hurts to take the big hit, but trust me, you have to. I took a $10k hit on my old boat when I traded it. You NEVER get back what you have invested in it. Good luck.

a little high for around here for a used boat in the 17' range. i have a 98 lx700 dc w/115 in good shape (garage kept also) loaded with a new mk maxxum 65 and i would feel fortunate to get 8K for it although i feel it is worth more. might check boat trader online and see what they are listed for in the market where you live.

Thanks for the help. I just had visions of getting this NX882 and was hoping I could get more. Oh well. Maybe I'll just look at a motor upgrade.
