Possible Sale

I have a 1978 Potter Hull center console 23' with a pair of Evinrude (1993) 150s sitting on a 5 yr. old galvanized trailer. The trailer hasn't been in the water. The boat is loaded with equip. Autopilot, radar, plotter, GPS, Loran, VHF Radio. The transom was just replaced and the hull is in showroom condition. I am thinking about selling the boat. The question is, "What is it worth?"

What it's worth and what you can get for it in this market are two different things. Unless you have to sell, I would try to hold onto it. Especially with the older power, I'm thinking you'll be disappointed.

Thanks, that is kind of what I was thinking too. I have owned the boat for 23 years, gotten older, and just don't use it.

Sounds like a sellable unit to me, if it's priced right. Most of what you see is either a restored unit with late model power and a high price. Or a unit that needs everything redone. Both of which eliminate the average middle income fisherman. If your boat is seaworthy and runs it will appeal to a much greater market than the previously mentioned.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU as I encourage you to sell.
