Any idea what this is worth?

[BuddhaHog]

I am in the Austin, AR area around Cabot. I have a 1992 20' SeaRay Bow Rider. It has a Mercruiser in it, but it needs work - I know it wasn't winterized for a few years and I know it has a cracked manifold, not sure about the head. The starter is also locked up. For purposes of this question, let's just assume the motor is shot.

The lower unit looks to be in good shape, and the hull is good and solid. The trailer is in fair shape with a few dings on the fenders, and will need new tires before it can be pulled on a regular basis. The boat will require some heavy cleaning and scrubbing on the inside (mildew), and some trim pieces and the motor cover pad will have to be replaced. The floor seems pretty solid to me.

I got this as a project boat but my wife decided she didn't want to wait until I finished it so she found one that was running Now I'd like to sell it.



Assuming the motor is shot, does anyone have any idea what the boat/trailer are worth? Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Any idea what this is worth?

buddha,

It is hard to put a price on it without taking a really good look at the floor, stringers, and transom. I gave $1500.00 for my '93 200BR and it was pretty much shot when I got it. The construction of these older Sea Rays is junk. These boats were built to rott. The stringers are not sealed and with all the screw holes in the floor for water to drain through, there is no way for the water to drain from outside of the stringers. I bet if you start digging, the transom and stringers are rotten. Sea Ray just used a chopper gun to shoot a little glass on the stringers for support and that is about it. Look at my rebuild thread in my sig and also the rebuild thread that friscoeboater is working on. It is probalby a blessing that your wife found another boat. Thanks, Steven
