Boat Resale Value

My father died and left me a 1986 15 'Fisher Marine boat with a 1984 (?) 25 hp outboard motor. He is on a galvanized trailer. Everythig was purchased new. He was kept under a shelter and was not used 8 or 9 times. Although it has a sentimental value, my wife was very ill and we need money to pay hospital bills. I live in South Georgia. What is it worth?

In good condition, $ 1500-2000. Keep in mind, at this time of year, even in the south, boat sales decrease significantly, you may find it hard to sell. Hope your wife has a full recovery soon. Good luck.

I do not know much about boats, but from a web search quickly, maybe $ 2000? I found a couple of Fisher in the price range 2200-2800 $, but they appear more recent than yours.

Here is a link to a site that gives a reseller price for used boats. Hope this help. Just add accessories for a specific value.

put an ad on "craigslist" would not be your best chance to sell.
It is absolutely free and you can have the ad in about 30 minuets.
Thus, you can sell this weekend.
Make sure to download pictures of him.
+ In pictures sell things 5 times faster than no pictures.
make sure it will start, you have to water or hook for (barrel of water) and charge the battery. Do not try to sell it with without being able to start it.

A clean boat is as it should sell quickly.

you have the chance to get more than $ 2200.00 the boat is over 20 years of age and perhaps some hidden problems (we hope not but it is a possibility =) If it cleans very real and shows no rust starts asking $ 3200.00 .. .

In the current economy is the best estimate ........ $ 2,500, but the engine alone is worth that much. trailers put $ 200 to $ 400 and the boat alone, Say $ 400 ......... So, if you sell it separately you can get $ 3200, but it will take more time. Good luck!
