How uch do you think my boat is worth?

[mitch_wahoo]

Hey ausfishers, I'm trying to get a rough valuation of my boat.

All 1999 model. Aussie whaler 550 profish. Mercury saltwater series 115 with 160 hours. Hydraulic steering. And drive on trailer which has just been rebuilt and has alloy wheels.

New garmin 7" touch screen GPS/sounder.
New iPod stereo, new gme VHF radio, new dual batteries, new clears put on last week. All led lighting throughout, new Johnson deck wash kit. Stainless rocket launchers and bait table.

Boat is is pretty good nick. Few gel coat chips here and there which can be easily fixed.

Here's a couple of pics, just trying to get a general idea of what other fishos think its worth.

Thanks, Mitch.

Are you after a value in beer or spirits?

[mitch_wahoo]

Hahaha neither spider pig. Just a rough $$ value.

Cheers Pauly,

How did you come up with that figure?

Reason I ask is because I paid more than that for the boat 6 months ago, and I've spent over 5k on it since I brought it on re-building the trailer, electronics, lighting, rocket launchers and clears.

Thanks, Mitch.

Sorry Mitch,
I came up with that figure by misreading 1999 for 1989. Sorry, mad bad. They were not even made back then.
As a boat of that size and condition with an upgraded trailer and electronics it has to be worth 20k all day, any day.
Obviously chase a higher figure. I see a couple on boatpoint are closer to 30k, but that is the asking price. They have not sold yet.
Now that the ice is broken some other members might offer their ideas? Please.

Cheers Pauly,

I'm not looking to sell the boat but swapping it for an older boat that's half a metre Longer. Just trying to get a rough idea on a price.

Thanks, Mitch.

Are you keen to say what the other boat is?

[mitch_wahoo]

Yeh mate it's a Hydrofield jag 18 with twin 70hp 2 stroke yammys. (Its actually my old pride and joy) Boat is 94 model motors are 06. Not sure on exact hours.

Mitch, I'd put 25 on it, and be willing to go down a few. Worth every bit of that amount. Don't go below 22, I reckon!

That's about the figures I was thinking.

[cuzzamundi]

Yeah, they're a great boat for offshore work, as well as bay.
