Boat & Trailer value?

[freeisforme]

I've had a super clean 12' Duranautic 12' V hull and a mint clean, only in the water 3 or 4 times, galvanized trailer which cost me $700 four years ago new.
I have a friend of another friend wanting to buy the combo, minus the the electric trolling motor I have for it. It also has two brand new 6.5" oars and oar locks, a brand new epoxy coated, fiberglass reinforced transom panel, no dents, no damage whatsoever.
My thinking is that this is worth every penny of $1400, to buy this set up new, the trailer is about the same money today, and the boat is upwards of $1500, plus the oars. This could pass for new and is garage kept. I only really keep it around as a means of exercise these days, I've got a larger boat for fishing as well.
Am I that far off in what I want for this boat? If not what is a fair price? I really wasn't looking to sell it but I could use the room in the garage and I do rarely use it these days. Although when the need arises for it, it would be sorely missed. I'm sure he could go buy a cheaper, non welded hull boat and a bottom line trailer but this is a welded hull Duranautic on a galvanized bunk trailer with winch strap, urethane bow stop roller, stainless steel tongue jack, and LED taillights.
I'm not looking to gouge anyone for it, but I don't want to sell something I may only end up re-purchasing at a later date.

Well if you are not looking to sell it, it would be worth whatever it would cost to replace it. If you don't need the money don't undersell yourself.

On the other hand you could get some longer oars and row your fishing boat for exercise.

Then don't sell it.

Don't expect a buyer to see the "great value" in a used boat that you see.
The market is always bad on these small utility boats.
With the economy the way it is, you are up against stiff competition.

I looked at a 15' Lund with a trailer and a fully functional 15 hp Johnson motor, all in above average condition. It sold for $1500 while I was looking at it.


Its still a rowboat, worth someplace between $100 and $500 around here.
And most buyers will think the used trailer is worth $200-$300

Check to see what they are selling for in your location.
My guess is between $500 and $1000.
If you are not willing to sell it for that, then keep it.

My dad got a 14' on a newer galv trailer with a running 5HP Merc for $650.

The pricing roscoe indicates above would be accurate for my area as well.
