Here we go with the 16ss

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

IDK GA

This guy has been trying to sell this LUND for 6 months and no takers. I don't know how my older Tinny compares to it.

1994 LUND 1650 TYEE DEEP V ALUMINUM WALLEYE FISHING BOAT 90 HP MOTOR

Its a 16' Lund Tyee with a 1999 Johnson 90hp for $4k

I have kept close tabs on the budget so when the boat is sold I will disclose the numbers.

There's NOTHING on that ^^^ rig that's even attractive to me as a buyer except the motor. Bland, plain vanilla & lack luster at best. Not nearly the sexy beast shaping up in your SC hanger:

The Lund looks like it's a KY conservation officer's boat. NOT a new to me fish & ski if I was a buyer looking at it. What the heck? Is this the bullhorn speaker still mounted on the Lund's bow deck:

The Lund 'could' be a nice rig, w/ some work. All original doesn't hold any extra value, just more stuff that'll need attention sooner then later.

Like I said @Dozer's build. The attention to detail & little extras SHOW. I don't know if you'll get more for yours then $4K, quickly, in your market, that I know nothing about. Even w/ that sweet 2000 90 Merc, I don't see the Lund going for nearly $4K. It looks like a used boat & looks tired.

Besides, winter is for buying project rigs, spring is for selling water ready GOOD LOOKING rigs. Right?

Thanks JB,

I wish I could get my hands on that Lund for about $800 I could turn that into a 6k boat in a heartbeat.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Yeah, and I just re-read the ad & the seller took a Merc OFF the Lund, and now it's got a 2000 90hp Johnson, that is available solo for $2500, boat of $2200, so I'm saving $700 buying the package So, w/ a mystical 2000 Johnson that's not shown in any pix, there's actually even less attractive to me as a buyer.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

The worst words you can put in an ad "This Lund is in very good shape for its age." That's saying it's old and it looks like it. This is a flipper the seller bought at a state surplus auction. The equivalent of an floating ex-cop car. And just like a cop car, the cop stuff was pulled off and nothing was patched. The light bar will come off by skiing or tubing with her, no need to remove 4 bolts. A light bar is not a ski tower. The trailer is perfect, too. Perfectly rusted.

I think you made a poor comparison, Sig.

I wasn't asking and won't ask what you have wrapped up in her. Sig. Well, maybe someday to see if I'm still a half-fast estimator.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

I didn't figure you were asking GA, but I think everyone is going to be staggeringly surprised at how much money has gone into this boat.

This really is the closest comp I could come up with.

Its sad because I could really make that Lund a looker.

Either you're really a stellar bottom feeder or you figured out flipping doesn't pay. Naw, somewhere in the middle. There aren't enough SCs down here in the South. I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but Starcraft isn't a household name like Bayliner, Boston Whaler (ugh, glassers) or even Lunds and Trackers on the tin side.

I know you could put the "OMG, look at that one" job on her.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

They really aren't and I am afraid its going to hurt the resale value of the boat. If I were to tow this boat to the northwest I would ask $6500 and probably get it.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Sig, I won't be surprised what you have into it.... as I suspect most who actually keep track of the $$. Many, just don't keep track of those things which is cool too. But I bet ya a piece of Canadian back bacon that it will be closer to the sale price than you'd like given the time invested. J.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

You could do a Jason and trade up to a decent 26 footer project and start all over again.

 

[SigSaurP229]

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

I'd trade to a 20ss V5 in a heartbeat

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

I agree, that Lund is not a comparison to what you have going. In my opinion about speed over quality, I like having the satisfaction of performing the job properly and knowing what and how everything was assembled. Will I be rewarded with $$$$$$$? Never, I am too picky.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Sig it would almost be worth it for you to tow her up here, have a steak and wobbly pop and sell her for a quick $8500. Just saying:facepalm:

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Hey Sig, I'm still not convinced that you're selling this little beauty

Fix that glass, spiff-up the OB and spit shine it. Spring is here, buyers are getting off of their $$$. :madgrin:

 

[SigSaurP229]

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Id be there in 2 days for that kind of money if i had a buyer lined up. Of course the only other stipulation would be I d have to stop and see the holiday in person I promise not to leave drool marks not promising that i wont sit in it and make vroom vroom noises.. we all do it

 

[jvanhees]

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

I wouldn't hold to much to my guess, but with your new like boat, I think $4k is the bottom. Jason would be a good one to weigh in on this tho...

Now is the perfect time to sell.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Today's Update is more about what you don't see than what you do.

I despise sagging electrical so we fixed that problem with this.



This one is a weird post but I want to give a special shout out to the orange pencil she's been with me since the begining of the 18' rebuild.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

Sigs BFF! A frickin' pencil. We gotta talk! :lol:

I use those with screws. If I riveted them in, as soon as I was done, I would be drilling rivets to add more wires/harnesses.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

agree with the others, that "comp" wholly lacks the infamous "pizazz" and your boat has it in spades. get some sunset pix of her on the water on a calm evening, with the reflections of the water and the awesome black paint relfecting off each other, then list it at 5.

Rivets are cheaper and I have a ton of them to use its all good though because as I learned today even if you think you have all the wires in you can still fish one through if needed.


Yes my life is about as exciting as Redneck Joes I seriously have no friends.


Anyways the list is the following

Paint motor. √
Finish electrical √
Mount Steering√
Mount new plexi in windshield frame√
mount windshield. √
Mount engine.√
Mount rub rail and insert √
Mount bow cap√
Transom Corner cap (awaiting parts) Uncle cnc maching new caps instead of cast.
Run trailer lights properly
Paint and mount fenders. √



Splash.


Thx B2 there just really isn't anything out there in the way of comps, and as we all know a boat is priced on location and condition.

Re: Here we go with the 16ss

The list is oh, so short, Sig. It's good you don't have a blower like Dozer, so the last 20% of electrical should be easy.
