Hi
Wanted to thank the members for helping me with my previous question in my search for my first Grady.
And before I ask my next question - I preface it with - I know the bottom line on a boat's value is what someone is willing to pay for it. And I am fine paying more than "average" to get the boat I want. I just want to make sure I am in a "5K ballpark" of what would be considered a fair deal. With that -............
I am looking at a 2007 Tournament 225. Appx 300 hours - very clean looking. Options are Bimini with full enclosures, a Raymarine, ski pole - nothing too top end. Asking as 55K
From what I can tell - NADA (the high side) is about 25.5K for the hull, 12.5K for motor 2K trailer. Lets say 42K with options.
I have noticed that there are not many of late model 225s available, so getting a full picture of the marketplace is not very easy to see. And I am looking in the Northeast, from what I have read in the forums, a more expensive region.
With the lack of availability of these boats - am I correct in assuming the NADA price (given current availability) might be low, and a fair price for both parties is somewhere in the middle of the asking and the NADA?
