I am planning on looking at a 2001 282 sailfish and was wondering if anyone might clue me in to what I can expect to pay for a boat of this age. The boat was repowered in 2005 with 250 yamahas.

Have you checked NADA?

The seller is probably asking more than NADA but you might be able to get them down to NADA.

I actually tried to but I dont have all the details on the boat. This list of things to check or not check is pretty extensive to calculate the price. I winged it but dont believe it was even close. Wonder if brokers have and can provide all that info
Prices vary by location, condition etc,NADA is usually an average of dealer pricing and sales and sometimes comes from different realities.I can't offer much price info but when I was looking there was enough overlap in prices that I was able to buy a Marlin that seems to suit my needs better altho I can't say why or how.Hmmmmm....anyway another place you might find some pricing info is closed deals on ebay.
Wherever and whatever you buy spend the extra and get a good survey,some surveyors will be able to give you a price range on a particular type of boat.
Good luck!

You don't have to check all the standard items, just the true options. See the following FAQ. You can get the list of standard equipment and options from the Gradywhite site by downloading the catalog for your year.

When selecting optional equipment for my boat during the pricing/valuation process, do I select standard equipment as well?
No. You only need to select the options/features of your boat on the Optional Equipment page that did not come standard on your boat (unless otherwise noted) and that were added after the purchase. Standard equipment is specific to your model/trim level and NADAguides will automatically factor this into the price of your boat on the price report page. It is important to note that standard and optional equipment may vary between manufacturers. Engines and trailers may or may not be included in the boat you are pricing so read the notes that accompany the boat you are valuing. Visit the Boat Center for all your boat needs.
Here in MD a broker will be able to tell you what similar boats have actually sold for. This is a much more reliable barometer of value than listings. I would be curious why a repower so soon? Possibly all ocean use ( salt water).
As to why someone would like the Marlin better....probably the extra foot of beam....
