Also, law in NJ (and many other states) is have to have seperate breaks for trailer if trailering over 3000 lbs, not sure if your trailer has them. *The v20s with motor, trailer with fuel and equipment are over 3000 lbs. *

Yeah, ok, go locate one for starters, then find it at that price, running no less. NADA prices are so that dealers can turn around and sell them for a profit. That's why private party and trade-in value are different as per Kelly Blue Book. The dealer would give me this much for the boat. Actually, he'd try to give me considerably less after some meaningless gestures about what it'll cost for him to resell it. Then they'd change the plugs, and filters, maybe pretend to tune it (because it doesn't need tuning), powerwash it, and then plaster a bogus warranty that covers carb cleanings and waterpump impeller replacements for 18 months and slap a $4,000 price tag on it.
The real price of this boat is, $3,800, because I have it and it's for sale at that price, I don't have to sell it, and I've had several interested parties in the past month. It'll eventually go at that price.
I'm sure you can just stroll down to the NADA spare boat outllet and have them forklift a V20 off the shelf along with the engine and trailer and have them throw a bow on it for you and then just cut them a check for $2,450.
I spent a month just looking for the motor, and it was considerably more than I wanted to pay. But, hey, I needed and engine at the time. So much for the NADA discount spare boat outlet theory.
