This is an @ss-backwards idea but what if you sold the etec and put a solid used motor in its place....put some dough in your pocket and still keep the boat. Problem is, you'd still lose money. Dangit, why can't boats/motors be a good monetary investment??

I like the trailer idea too, provided you have somewhere to store it.

I am in the same situation with my 2 daughters 14 and 12. Not only is that staring me down but my job is not likely to exist within the next 1 - 2 years. Hoping to scrape by somehow some way.........

Theres an idea. Lumber can sell me his Etec and I'll trade him my 99' 200 Ocean Pro plus cash. Just bolt on and plug in. He gets some cash and keeps the boat and I get a newer motor, win win. Now sell me that Etec Lumber.

And any seller is going to ask for a grand off the selling price to cover the cost of getting that damn "Bump Ken's" off the sides.

p.s. i could easily be talked out of selling my baby.

Yea I knew the whole money thing was a cover story because you want to move up to something bigger and didnt want to hurt our feelings.

I think you should clean it up a little before you even try to sell it... Man, that things dirty!!

You'll never get what you put into it. But just as an answer to your question, I'd guess anywhere between 6-10 grand for it, depending on the time of year, buyer, and your feelings at the time. Hell, I'll put an offer of $6900 on the board right now.,,,but I really hope you don't take it. Like the others said, take it out of the slip, make her a trailer queen. That will save you 2 grand a year right there.

DO NOT SELL YOUR BOAT!

As said above, give up the slip, see if you can find someone to build a shed to keep it under, in 2 seasons you have saved what you would have gotten in the sale.

But to answer your question, I think its worth at least $16K.

NADA average retail says (with my zip code entered):

$1700 for boat
$2700 for trailer
$9800 for motor
-------
$14200 before you ad in the electronics, safety equip, ropes, and the actual condition. We all know there are no used boats as clean as yours.

Boats are the worst investment, but at least right now you have the boat though. When you sell it is when you will take the hit, negative return and no boat to use. Keep her on that sweet trailer you have. Plus you've got the Bump Kens on the side, truly a member of the family and a name that another owner will take off immeadiately. Kinda sad.
