I'm thinking of selling my 76'.

[shicks007]

Well after alot of thought, I think I want to sell my 76' cuddy and get something different, a newer late model center console. I know there's been alot of what's it worth post lately, but I want to know what you guys think it's worth. Some of these pics are a couple years old, but thety are already in photobucket. Consider these things please.

Restored all the topside and decks a couple of years ago, filling most all of the stress cracks with west system and painting with 2 part urethane enamel. Sandblasted and painted the seat post and installed 2 new seats.

Installed a 1997 150 HP Evinrude last year, has approx. 500 hours on it, runs great.

Don't do it! You've got that beauty right where it needs to be. Thinking of going into debt for a boat? Not a wise financial decision. Just my $0.02.

[C YENSEN]

I gotta agree with Pipe, why go into debt when you got a great running beauty in your driveway ??? ??? :-/

[msbhammer]

Thats a super nice older V. ;)
I wont quote a price on what its worth because for what I paid for mine, then all the money I put out on her, I could have bought Willy's V and still have money left over.

[shicks007]

O.K...............O.K..................

You guys could dance around any question couldn't you ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) :D :D :D :D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Let's say I won the Lotto and wanted a new boat, What could I get for for the old girl?

[Blue_Runner]

DANG SHICKS, HOW MUCH DID YOU WIN??!! MAYBE YOU COULD AFFORT TO GIVE AWAY YOUR BOAT NOW THAT YOU ARE FILTHY RICH!

Ok, just kidding. Maybe 8 or 9 grand or more? She's sharp for her age. ;)

[C YENSEN]

she is a beauty, I would guess somewhere around $7000 ??? :-/

[Kajun]

here in norfolk..5500-6500 would be a fair deal.

[msbhammer]

I would love to get $6500.00 for my 86-V. Could I ???

[Blue_Runner]

What are you gonna buy Hammer? You've spent alot of time customizing your boat....you really wanna get another one and go through all that again?

[macojoe]

The sad thing is its hard to sell, Cause you never like to hear that what you have isn't worth what you have invested!

My boat stands me to date over 8 years $15,000 at least, and I be glad or lucky to get 5 to 6 grand!

Your boat is in great shape, But it is 31 years old with a 10 year old motor.
I think I would start the bidding at $7000 and see were it goes?

If you get no bites you have out priced yourself, re-start at $6500

But I would not take one penny less then $6000!!
Just remeber you can always come down in price but you can't go up!!

[harbour880]

You should be proud. That is a great looking boat.
Hope you get what you want for it!

[cmjones]

If you come up with a price, I'm local and would love to take a look.

[msbhammer]

Hey BLUE, if I got $7500.00 for my V, I would simply come down and steal your V-21, spend 100 bucks in paint, and paint on my Flyin Tigar mouth. Nobody would ever know. ;D ;D
And I would be still ahead with $6400.00 in my pocket.
LOL. ;D ;D ;D

[Blue_Runner]

Yeah but I don't have a fancy schmancy dive platform like you are having built. ;D

there ya go shicks..hook this guy up since you rich now! lol

[shicks007]

I went and looked a couple boats today, just to get my wife to look at a few. She really like the dual console boats. Although very practical I'm not sure it's what I want. Anyway I still don't know what I would ask for my boat or if I will even sell. I will keep you guys in the know.

[Shawsee]

Shicks,

I hope I can get my 76 to look as good as yours. The inside of your V is awesome and it looks like new from the pictures. Very nice boat indeed. I'de keep it..... ;D

[Hammerhead]

That's a very nice boat. If it runs good as it looks I'd ask 9000.oo w/o feeling unreasonable.

[shicks007]

Shoot!!!!!

If somebody offered me $9,000, I'd drive it to their house ::). I think I'm going to try and wait till next year. At least for today ;).
