I will get more pics on wendsday for you and I am asking 15,000.00. its got 100 gallon fuel tank in it and I was going to add a reserve tank of 30 to 40 gallons Comes with a 8000 lb trailer never in water and a single stainlless marine engine bracket
I think it would be about 16500.00 .I am not charging for my time just materials . Stainless bracket ,console lenning post ,trailer ,Ready for power. I really am just trying to get out of boats and fishing for a while but thanks for the trade offer. Sorry I did not see the last ??? It is 9 feet 6 inches Wide and 25 feet 8 inches long .
Do you guys think this is a fair price or not . All materials used were very expensive . Coosa board and nida-core , Owens corning 1708 and 1808 . with premium polyester resine and west epoxy . give me some comments. Thanks
It's not that the boat isn't worth $15k; in my opinion, you are trying to sell it at the worst stage of re-construction. Yes, I agree you have $15k into it right now but very few people have the skill or ability or fortitude to finish this boat. Additionally, if someone were to buy this boat right now, they would have an additional $20k to finish it (motor, rigging, console, electronics, paint).
A buyer could get a fished but "used" 25 Parker for $25-30k and start using it right now and not have 6-months of work to get it in the water.
If I wanted a 25ft Parker (and I have owned a 25 parker, GREAT boats) and was in the market to purchase, I would offer you $7-8k for this boat. I know the price is way under what you have into it but boats are not investments.
If you need to get rid of it right now, I'd say price it under $10k; if you can hold onto it, I'd suggest getting a used 250hp motor and finish it off if you can then sell it for $30k.
FiremanPO,
I would have to agree with Chrisrack with everything he had to say ..... It's hard enough to sell a complete boat with todays economy, but to try to sell a boat that needs completion is surely not something that folks are looking at right now .... Like it was said earlier, you will really take a beating on this boat trying to sell it "as is" .....Put it together and sell it in the Spring .... At least this way you will get your money out of it ....You did a really nice job on this boat, and you should get rewarded for the work you put into it .....Good Luck ...Sincerely, Jim
Thanks for the kind words . I probably will just finish it I would like to see how she does any ways. I will get another pic up soon of what is complete. Your right in this economy people are struggling , Thanks for the comments .Chris
