I'm looking to sell a V-Bottom I fixed up. I got it as a gift two years ago and have no idea what the price of it was.

It is a 1975 Richcraft 14' V-Bottom.

There are no leaks in it.

I added about $350+ worth of material to redo the benches and transom. I sealed the wood, carpeted it, and used stainless steel screws. You can see in the pictures that I added a removable deck that fits on top of the benches. I prefer to stand up as if I'm in a bass boat but I took it out when I had more than two people in it. This project took me over 40 hours to complete.

Comes with:

Trailer

15 HP Gamefisher (Mercury) Outboard

6 gallon gas tank

3 gallon gas tank

43 lb thrust MotorGuide trolling motor

Garmin Fishfinder

Battery

Fire Extinguisher

Lights

Anchor

Basically everything you would need.

Just trying to see what I should be asking for the boat.

Nice job with the boat. I have one similar to that and have been offered $4000 for mine. Maybe a good starting price ?

Good luck

Like that in my area $700 and might stretch it to $1000 obo

just a quick search and this your length & hp for $550

IMO $4,000 is way out of line. i paid $3,500 for a 150 hp 18' tracker tourney, and had a few to choose from in the $4,000 range.

the value of the boat really is in the outboard motor. i do think the boat w/motor could go for as much as $1,000.

I would look at what else is for sale in your area. Craigslist, want ads, bulleten boards, etc.

In my area (Nor Cal) $4000 might be a little high, but not "way out of line". And don't ask me why, but the availability of 12ft'ers, vs 14ft'ers is like 6 to 1. Maybe this is also why a 14ft typically goes for 2 to 3 X's as many $, as a 12ft'er ?

I'm assuming the motor is a 2 stroker ? If it runs perfect, you might get $2500-2800. If it were a perfect condition 4 stroke, you might get $3000-3500.

But again, that's in Cali > the land of big money.... For some people anyway.

Peace,

Fish

$1000-$1200 in my area

1000.00 maybe.

My current boat 16ft v-hull with 30hp 4 stroke is appraised at 6000-6500 on NADA

In my area if I was to sell right now I would probably ask for $4500 considering economy.

In my area your looking at somewhere around 1500-1800

What would you guys say the motor would be worth by itself?

It's a 15 HP Gamefisher

Model # 225.581508

Here is the pdf manual if you need more specs:

i think you might be comparing two different type of boats.
