I just happen to look at Craig's Listings for boats to see what thay had there. (Not looking to buy another boat...but curious as to what was up for sale). One of the listings had a link to NADA Used Boat Book Values. Maybe it is common knowledge but I did not know they had book values for boats...thought it was only for cars.

Anyway, in case others were not aware of this....here is the link to check out your boat's book values:

OK, I'll go along with the pricing.
I guesse I have to add a cost for my 2003 Honda 8 hp electric start power thrust motor. What do you think I should add for that?
I also have to add for my 9800 lb capacity aluminum trailer with dual torsion bar suspension and stainless disc brakes and extendable tongue. I have about 6.5 grand into that. What do you think I should add for it?

I'm trying to see what to ask for my 89 wing when I put it up for sale after the holidays

$0 for the Honda, it is supposed to be there and it is not new. The Aluminum trailer is a killer, no used trailer is worth more than $2500, maybe you should sell it back to the manufacturer or have him broker it. I don't see how any 89 25 is worth more than $12500, with or without a trailer. And money is getting tight, tighter than 6 months ago.

Don't know if this will help but I found out a couple of weeks ago that the '89 TR/WK that I drove you folks crazy with questions a few months ago finally sold for $12,000 without the hydrohoist. It took the guy 9 months to sell it. He started out at $16K and when I was doing battle with him he was asking $13.9K without a trailer but with the broken hydrohoist. I paid under $10K for my '89SR/WK without a trailer and it was in as good a condition as the boat above (maybe better).

I could probably be persuaded to offer $2.5K for your trailer if you decided to sell it separately.

Frank G: I mostly agree with Frank H... although I'd say the 2003 Honda adds maybe $500 (compared to an '89 2-stroke) and the fancy trailer maybe a little more, especially to a buyer who wants a trailer--some don't. Basically, the boat is what it is--the desirable '89 wing with a trailer. When we make these additions to our boats, it's pretty much for ourselves. More important, as with real estate, is that (1) the price gets buyers to at least come to see it, and (2) it <i>gleams</i> when they do. The emotional response is what closes the deal. (I have more anecdotes than you want to hear.)

Then again, the local market is an unpredictable factor. If the right buyer happens to be in the right location at the right time, anything can happen. But expect that buyers have looked at things like yachtworld.com, boatus.com, and maybe boattrader.com to get an idea of what sells for how much. I surely did.

Well Frank, if you mean "killer" to mean that the Aluminum trailer is a POS, I'll disagree with you. It's made for salt water and corrosion resistance.
If you mean "killer" to mean good, then I'll agree.
No painting, no corrosion.

If I could only get 12 grand for the whole enchilada, I'll keep it.

Hey Gary, what is a hydrohoist?

Frank G,

A HydroHoist is a brand of boat lift. There are several brands but they all work on the same basic principle. Blow air into two or three hollow fiberglass pontoons blowing the water out and the pontoons float lifting the boat out of the water.

Derek Crawford has had his boat "This Side Up" on a HydroHoist since 1992. Saves having to do a bottom job every few years and the bottom is always smooth and clean. Derek has a fixed keel C25 and only paints the bottom 1 or 2 thirds of the keel (that's all that stays in the water). He said he just wipes down the lower portion of the keel every few weeks to keep the slime off.

They make these for powerboats and some sailboats.

Here's a link to the HydroHoist brand of lifts --&gt;&gt; http://www.boatlift.com/

I think Frank means your expectations for what the trailer might add are DOA. (...putting words into his mouth. )

Yes, you are upside down in a magnificent trailer. You could probably get more by selling them separately.
