also market is a big factor, west coast has probably the highest resale, followed by northeast, then south. i know I/O's are big up north, but down here, can't give them away. most are considered a donor boat for a bracket conversion.

in the end, somethings worth what you can get for it. i'm constantly amazed at what people will pay for things, both over & under what i would pay.

Theres a guy asking 11,500 for an 83 V with a 93 Merc on it here in ohio. It also has a 2010 kicker and a 2013 dual axle trailer but i still think he is asking atleast double of what he will get, i may be wrong though

Those are normally the wife nagging saying to get rid of the boat, you don't use it. Then he can say, I have it for sale honey, nobodys calling on it, don't know why it won't sell, guess I need to take her out again.

As to I/O's, guess I'm in the minority as I actually like them. The nagain I can work on em, so that makes a big difference.

in 1999 I bought my '84 with a '91 merc 150 and a '94 dual axle and a like new full bimini enclosure for $7000.
Motor, trailer and enclosure are long gone....

A 93 merc is worth $0 unless it is already yours and it runs.

Come on guys..........these V's are becoming like collectable cars.....

AC boat show had 20' priced at $ 65,000 +

A solid, sound, dry hulled V in great condition with equally good motor.........man we should be talking $ 15,000 easy ! :)

And my 96' V21, last year of the best selling boat of all time........should sell at Barret Jackson for $ 100,000
