I have spent a considerable amount of time recently "fishing" for the deal of a lifetime, and I'm here to tell you it is a challenge to find what you are looking for with a budget in mind. I agree with the previous responses on the value and how it is equipped. The NADA guide is more or less a starting point to establish some baseline figures. Furthermore, it is somewhat confusing and difficult to price certain options. Based on my past experiences. boats typically depreciate the first few years and then tend to hold their value fairly well - more so than automobiles. In addition, most of these outfits are fish ready and have had "lotsa" money invested in them in the form of fish toys! I do have a boat I will be parting with in the near future, but it may be smaller than what you are looking for. It is a 15' Cobra bayliner bass rig with a 50HP Force.... PM me if you might be interested and good look in your quest to catch the big one.[cool]
