Q: How can I research what a certain boat is worth?
A: There are a number of ways to establish a boat’s value. Looking at similar boats on boatsforboaters.com and assessing the relative condition of those boats relative to their prices will get you into the ballpark for the boat you are looking at. Look at boats listed in print publications and on other internet sites and talk with boat dealers and brokers who handle that particular make of boat. If the boat is a “one-off” special you’ll just have to try to compare it to other boats of similar type, length etc. in order to close in on its value. See also the article Negotiating A Fair Price.
