what is this boat worth?

[theothereric]

A 1990 Sylvan 16' deep V , wide aluminum boat with a wood floor and two pedestal seats. I believe it is called the Great Lakes Fisherman model.

A 1990 Mercury 20 HP motor. The seller told me that it is actually a 25 HP under a 20 HP cover.?? Three gas tanks.

A steel Shorelander trailer with large tires. It has been painted white but has some surface rust. I replaced and repacked the bearings shortly after acquired the rig.

The problem with the photographs they are on AOL. Try to upload them to photobucket. Then try reposting if not email them to me, doesn't seem that high of a price. May want to give it a test drive and see how she runs first. Is the boat located in Mass, is it a one owner, hours on the motor, has the motor had regular maintenance? ect. These are important questions to ask that way you won't by another person problem.

For instance my first boat:
My last boat I had a 1979 Starcraft that was 14 ft with a brand new Johnson 9.9 motor less then 15 hrs. Bought the boat for $500.00, and the motor was around $1,800.00. Sold it for $2,200.00 with trailer, with a few extras fishfinder, some life preservers.

Eric overall I don't think that is a bad price as long as the condition is decent.

I would insist on a check out ride before buying. My last boat was a 1986 16'5" Sylvan Super Snapper, 20 HP 2 Stroke Suzuki, old fish finder, a beak up down rigger and a few other extra's. I paid $2,000 for it three years ago. Put about $300 into it and sold it last year for $2,800 last summer.

Yours is newer. So I wouold say the the price might be in the ball park. I'd be happy to go look at it with you. Bought a lot of used boats over the years and the most important thing is the check ride.

Good Luck
