I'm considering a '97 Bayliner Jazz for $4,500. According to BUCValu, it's worth between $5,700-$6,550. NADA, however, shows $3,120-$3,510. Which is closer to the mark? Are there better sources? Thanks.
The best is your own research into what they are selling for in your area. A lot depends on the time of year you are buying in. Now is the worst time to buy a boat as far as getting a good buy goes unless you can find a motivated seller.
placing a value on a boat is very hard, i've seen boats 20 years old, that are worth more than 5 year old boats, because of maintainance, and condition. you said you wanted a family boat. your are going to out grow that jazz in a hurry. look what new this summer. http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=198208
it's going to be 19,500 to 20,000 tow out. with everything to go. trailer and all. exact price was not set as of this week, but boats are in production.
