Market Value

Having been out only 3 days has me wondering if maybe it's time to sell. Hard to consider loosing money after investing $10,000 since buying , but I accept that's the reality of selling a used boat.

I bought the 2004 McKee 196 CC for a song at $15000, excellant shape a low hours on Suzuki 140HP four stroke, sitting on custom high speed alum trailer.

Since I've invested in a hardtop for $3K, full canvass with wings for $3K , Minn Kota 101 autopilot GPS 36V trolling motor for$3k installing and Garmin 740S with radar; so how much am I out?

This boat rocks, but if I can't get out and it's in prime shape to sell and thoughts on fair price for me and buyer? Searched online but not many similar hulls for sale fitted out like mine.

Thats a great set up. I wouldnt sell unless you really need the money. Those few days on the water are worth it. Youll regret it. Not sure if you trailer or keep in a slip. i found i used my boat triple the amount when i decided to keep it in the water. Even it was a quick 2 hour trip.

My opinion on market value for your boat Bob, is $2500.00
now will you accept cash for that?









don't sell it, that is THE perfect boat for you, they don't come around too often, next year will be different and you wouldn't want to said I shoulda coulda woulda, keep the boat

take me out this weekend

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
