How much would a brand new well built 15 ft runabout with a wood/fiberglass construction sell for with a 50 outboard and a classic 50s/60s look.

Shop online.

The price will vary according to manufacturer, options, and your location.

I know of NO mfg's making such a boat. If you mean how much could you get for your boat once it's restored to "Like New" condition... The answer is... Whatever someones willing to pay for it. You'll be lucky to get back what you put into it. If you count your Labor Time you won't get your money back.

I understood the question. I was asking what answer you wanted: how much YOU wanted the price to be.

Since advice isn't well received, I figured we could skip ahead a few steps & save some time.

That's why I was asking because no one makes boats like that and I wanted to see if anyone else had a guess because I don't have any similar products to go off of.This has nothing to do with my boat.

Re: Price for a 15 Foot Runabout

15' runabouts are a thing of the past. Hacker Craft is the only well known classic/ vintage style boat builder that is in production that I'm aware of, and they are in the $200k range but they do not make boats less than 20' long

If the boat was in production, meeting all the classic styling/ size criteria, it would probably appeal to 1% of new boat buyers.

Which were you suggesting that you wanted to start fabricating? Thread title is for a 15' runabout, your drawing is for a 15' Center Console

I would go with that hull style and whatever's popular, I like a lot of flare and the rounded hull. That google thing was awesome how did you do it.

And I'm not starting any other projects YET, but after I'm done the fleetform I want to start doing custom boats. I've built other boats and after looking at winter and jarret bays projects I know how to make a quality boat.

Great :thumb:

Sounds like you've taken some time, carefully weighed the available options, done extensive research and are well prepared to hang a boat builder shingle...

Good nite NJ, best of luck w/ your endeavors, WV is lights out...........

Boat resto safely, boat build safer
