Just to let you know where I was coming from with my post...it was not about that particular boat and price but more of a feeling I get sometimes that maybe we as potential sellers someday may be doing a disservice to ourselves for some of the public comments we make about boats for sale.

In reality what we say probably doesnt amount to a hill of beans and the market will bear out the actual selling price of any boat but at the same time anybody thinking of buying a V will almost definitely find this site if they can use a computer and the general advise given to buyers around here is "low ball" them..."its too expensive" and the like....maybe just rambling but thats where I was coming from.

Exactly.... And I would point out that the fact that the seller reduced his price by several thousand dollars validated my original opinion.

I'd have no problem if V's become collector items, and values soar..........

What's that ? A V for sale going for $ 10,000 and bidding war breaks out ?
Great.... I'll be the first to congratulate the seller. Some day that may be my boat for sale.

Funny thing is, if you click on the link now the seller wants $8000 for the boat, but the ad title says $6900. And again, that's down from the original $9700 he wanted in the first place. I'm wondering if he really wants to sell the boat or if this is one of those "Honey, I have the boat up for sale, what more can I do?" kinda sales that we've seen in the past.

At any rate this thread has taken way too much of our time. So I'll leave with this parting opinion. IMHO, I think that @ $9700 the boat is pricey, @ $6700 it's a good deal. (assuming everythings ok with the boat). Anywhere in between is up to the buyer to make the call about if he thinks the price was fair or not. Cheers...

Yeh well I maintain $ 6,900 is a low price for a great V21 based on all the other for sale.

$ 8,000 - $ 10,000 a solid / fair price for a 94- 96 V21 depending on condition and motor age/power/ condition.

$ 45 for a steak is " pricey" bro. Hope your V holds it's value till you sell.

Hang a new power plant one year and pay someone to do nearly a full restoration the next, that's pricey.

Whoever buys that 21 is gonna get off a lot cheaper than me.

Ya, and you still have to pay for that indoor, climate controlled storage area for the winter.

I wouldn't offer him anything less than 10,500 for it...
