1996 Bayliner Capri 2050 LS Brunswick Anniversary Ed Value and Selling Tips

[Ramblin'man]

I have relied on the expertise of iBoats forums for years now and need your advice again.

I have the boat listed in the title above with the features listed below:

5.0L V8 Mercruiser, Top speed approx. 50mph
$400 Removable Wakeboard Tower
$400 Aftermarket Tower Speakers (1yr old)
CD Player with MP3 Player hookup
Dual Batteries / Battery Switch
Bimini Top, Depth Finder, Silent Exhaust, Pump
Wake Board, Tube, Skis, Ropes, 6 Lifejackets
Boat cover, Spare mount, Spare tire and cover
New Trailer Bearings and Engine Starter (1yr old)
Sanded/Buffed/Polished/Waxed/Sealed (1yr old)
Professionally Serviced Yearly for past 10 yrs
Family Owned and Loved

We have just recently moved 500 miles to Georgia, have a baby due in July and no where to keep the boat.

I love her, but I need to let her go to someone that will be able to appreciate her.

What would you guys suggest as the best avenue and a decent price both to list and sell at.

I have ran it through NADA, with the features added and it is giving me an estimated avg retail $10,050 which I know is way high.

Once again, thank you fellas for your boating wisdom

I get about $5,400 on NADA. You generally do not add the equipment to the option list unless it was truly optional and not part of the base boat. There is also BUCvalue to use as another price reference.

Tips on selling . . . You are competing with folks who are selling similar boats. Buyers are looking for the best boat for the least money. So, typically boats that are in the best condition and the lowest price, sell. Boats that are over-priced or in poor condition typically do not sell. The good news is that the time of year and size range of your boat put you in a high demand market. It should be this way for another month or so, don't miss out.

Funny, I get $7600 on NADA - value with the trailer and the only adder I selected was the tower. Around here, assuming the interior is in nice shape and it is mechanically sound that would be a reasonable price for that boat.
