I have a 14' Duracraft Aluminum what I will call a runabout for lack of a better description. I have rebuilt it (I won't say restore because I was unable to determine what it would have looked like originally). I have a 40HP Evinrude ('73 model) that I use on it and it drives very well. I installed a floor and carpeted the interior. Added a AM/FM/CD player with 10" sub and amp (kids had to have tunes, lol). It seats five very comfortably and has all of the normal accessories (fire extinquisher, anchor, bumpers, etc.) I plan to sell it and the trailer to get a truck for my son to drive, who is getting his license soon. Problem is, I do not know at all what it is worth to know what ask for it. I was planning to list it on my local Craigslist site. Any thoughts from experienced boaters out there as to what would be a fair price? Any guidance would be appreciated.

The first five pics are of the boat the way that I found it. I will post the finished pics next.

Thank you. Aaron.

SWEET---you might find someone who's family had one as a kid--and they may want it bad--like me & this 1981 Glastron. and they might pay alot more than you think-List it as a Classic/ Antique.

Re: Vintage Duracraft Rebuild Complete - Value?

First off, nice job on the rebuild. Looks great and I'm sure it's a blast to drive.

However, very few boats enjoy much of an increased value due to being "classics". Yours is certainly a bit unique, but when it comes down to it, it's a small runabout with limited appeal. It's really only good for cruising, not so much for fishing or lounging around. I think $1500 is probably realistic.
