Title: Help re price of boat
Post by: gabaj on February 19, 2007, 12:42:50 CET
Hi, can anyone help me out with this problem.

I was offered to buy a friend's boat which he has not used for quite some time.
He is not doing it for business and asked to enquire what would be a fair price for a 13ft bahri with streering and controls, johnson 9.9 and new trailer.Boat and motor 20 yrs old,boat in good condition although the white boat is a little yellowish and the motor is in perfect running order since is was not used much even though it is quite old.There are also two oars,two lifejackets and anchor.

mmm, tough one ! for a 20 year old 13 footer with a 20 yr old engine... I'd say Lm 350 is a fair price given that the engine runs well.  Just my opinion though.

actually perhaps even a bit less than Lm 350. Lm300 ?

Thanks ,Gottie.

I will ask for a second opinion to make sure that I do not cheat my friend. I hope your estimate is correct since I would like to buy the boat and Lm300 to350 is not much for a boat in fair condition.

Thanks again for your help
