What is this boat worth?

[Rip Runner]

My father has a 17 foot Seaway that he bought back in 1983, that we keep at a dock out behind his house. In the past 5 years we have only used it about 10 times. I have a friend that I think I'm going to sell it to and want to give him a good deal and at the same time, I would like to get around what it's worth.

It's a 1983 Seaway (commercial hull) slightly different from the regular Seaway, with a 1994 40HP Evinrude electric start/electric trim tiller motor with very little hours. It comes with a trailer & power winch and everything is in excellent shape.

What do you think it's worth????

I would ask at least $2500, anything more than that depends on how good a deal you want to give your friend.

It is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it!!!!!!

put it on ebay

Sell the boat to someone you don't know....not worth losing a friend over.

If you sell it for $2500 and you friend doesn't want it let me know. I'm interested! Do a search on Traderonline or some of the used boat sites. That's an excellent old hull. Those hulls were built to last a lifetime.

Whoever you sell to should be made aware that the "commercial" hull does not meet USCG flotation requirements. Good fishing hull but bring your back brace!!

I sold a 1984 boat/motor/trailer 17ft seaway 75hp rude. for $3K 2 or 3 years ago.
I wanted $4500 but had no luck. So I sold it to the guy who sits across from me at work. (with the deal I get to keep a key). It's still running good somewhere in and around Hull.

thanks for the replies and yes, Sportsman it's for Chris so we want to make sure it's a fair deal for everyone.
