Very hard to say. so many factors. Mostly revolve around, supply / demand and how badly the seller wants/needs to get rid of it.

There is some "blue book" value insurance companies would butts it at... but even that is probably "way off".

The better question (to yourself) is.... is the asking price seem fair for the value of the boat to me.

Not always possible, but i would ALWAYS suggest you take the boat out for a test ride to get a good look at its setup, rigging, check for issues... etc. You wouldn't buy a used car without a testdrive...


I agree on the Test Drive. One thing I have noticed is that all F18, F16 and one design (A Cat) keeps their value well compared to other non race cats. I understand that this is because they are attractive classes and participation is good. I do feel the boat I'm looking at is priced just bellow the cost of a 2000 Tiger, in similar shape. My thoughts are that if this cat does follow the F18 rules then it's priced well. But it if falls outside of the rule, then it's just "another" cat and maybe not such a great deal... I don't know.
