It's a tragic day that I find myself in a position where I might have to sell my pride and joy "Reel Life".
The problem is, I really don't know what I could ask for it.
So knowledgeable people, what do you think the following boat really worth.
2003 7m Hardtop White Pointer, 2007 200HPDI Yamaha (270hrs), 2007 Voyager Trailer (galv and epoxy painted), Simrad EX44 sounder, Auto helm, Auto capstan, Soft riders, Live bait tank, Game rigged etc etc etc. Its got too many wizzy bits to list, and it catches Marlin!
Help me out guys, give me some realistic feeed back on what I should be asking.
Thanks CP

My gut feel would be 90% of what you paid for it

I would have thought, in this market, if you need to sell you would probably be looking at more like 66% of PP or lower.

Sounds about right and I feel for you having to sell her  .
If you want to offer for sale with finance available then give me a yell and Ill put a package together on it if interested.

There is a difference between having to sell and giving it away. They are a great boat that you dont see getting sold second hand often. I think they would hold their price well in a second hand market ------------- I would rather laugh with the Sinners, than cry with the Saints |

Value is defined by the willing buyer / willing seller concept. Something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay. The problem with this market is that there may not be enough willing buyers out there to sustain a price that may have been achieved 12 months ago. But, I know very little about the second hand boat market at present.

To put a number on it I would say circa 85k with the new trailer and motor. But its only a guesstimate to get some numbers up  ------------- http://www.boulderguiding.co.nz">  http://www.boulderguiding.co.nz">www.boulderguiding.co.nz |

in todays climate i think you would probably get an old landcruiser and one massey ferguson tractor--- and i just happen to have one of each, i could probbably cut you some slack and throw in a 2.4m inflatable, that way you still be able to get out on the water. 
i probably wouldnt even have to look at your rig to go through with this deal-- so just say the word. ------------- GET REEL! |

We are seeing a huge glut of boats in the Australian market at present and guys just can't seem to get rid of them.
Hardtop White Pointer is a good boat though, so hope it doesn't hang around too long.
I reckon 90% of what you got it for might be a tad ambitious.
Studio1 makes a lot of sense in his post - supply and demand is all it boils down to at the end of the day.
Sorry to hear you have to sell the boat though -
Good luck with it all mate. ------------- "Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught,will we realize that we cannot eat money" - 19th Century Indian Creed |

Thanks for the input guys. Yes its gut wrenching to have to sell the boat, I have never been without a boat for 33 years, so it's a big deal for me.
I guess a new version of what I have would cost around 120k so 90% may be a bit high, but she's got all the good gear so maybe 85k ish is where I should pitch it.
How would that stack up to other similar boats for that money?
I am sitting here with a busted heart and just can't believe that things can change so darn quickly.
My wife says sell the house before the boat (not that I would even consider that option) but hows that for a good woman??

| Yeah she sounds like she understands your pain... have you thought about selling a half share or something like that? My heart goes out to you hopefully your mates will take you out and remember the favors you have done in the past. Chin up aye. |

Sell 8-10 shares in it.......people do this all the time with planes and helicopters, things that they want to use but not all of the time, even doing it with holiday homes.

Slackline priced a new 7m White Pointer late last year and was quoted 135k and that was just a basic package. |

Trouble is CaptnPhil due to recession, people know most sellers are letting go of their toy's (and in your case pride and joy) because they may have to rather than because they want to. Same goes for luxury cars and coastal property etc..... I've got an 07 735 Excess with 250 4/stoke Yamaha and she's immaculate.... maybe not as rugged or manly boat as yours, but top of the range Buccaneer all the same. In drystack, so no trailer. I looked to offload on TradeMe a few months back. It's a $130k to build new all day long but closest offer was $80k, so said stick it where the sun don't shine.... The boat will still be worth $80k in 4 - 5 years time..!! So anyway I've hung on to it and am pleased I did... but mate, if ya got no choice, she's gotta be worth $85 - $90k so hope you can sell her

With a whole lot of juggling we are hanging in by the skin of our teeth at the moment.
The toy department looks pretty empty and our retirement plan is kaput, but if our damage control works and we don't get any more nasty surprises, we may just be able to keep "Reel Life".
I won't be able to afford to run her much, but I'm sure that there will be plenty of people who could share the costs.
It's still touch and go but we are trying to keep positive and just hope that the glimmer of light down the tunnel isn't another bl%*dy train.

Money in a boat seems a lot more secure than funds in a finance company at present. I hope it all works out for you! |
