This one's been F/S for a while

Maybe he's willing to cut a sweet deal. In Joisy I believe.

You're right, I saw that thing on ebay a LONG time ago and it was a combo deal w/that old suburban then too.

Been on the blocks for a year anyways. ???

Thread recently about beefin' up old station wagon for tow-motor only...I'd be more inclined to find an old Suburban like that for that purpose...you'd start off WAY ahead of the game and not spend any more $$$...

If he'd take a little off that boat, it'd move... ;)...

Take a little off. Why would I do that? The one on e-bay is a piece of crap. I've been using this one. I'm just surprised no one's jumped on it.

What's your idea of a little off? I'm thinking the boat motor and trailer honestly can't be worth less than $3500. That's really not a lot for a fully functional boat that really only needs cosmetics if you were into that sort of thing.

Drews...did not mean to ruffle your feathers...I don't think that's what the board is intended to do...I don't disagree that your boat is worth the asking price, but SOMETHING has kept it from moving... :)...

For some reference, if you check out the NADA site (nada.com), a 75 v20 with an 85 boat and trailer has an average retail selling price of $2460 ($1500 hull, $540 motor, $420 trailer). 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.

Is it any wonder why this has not sold yet? ;D

Drew do you have any better pics of it?

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.
