Thinking of selling my 1976 Cobalt 18ft Tri-Hull.  I winterized it 5years ago and been stored under cover, just have no plans to use it again.  I recently pulled it out of "mothballs" and serviced it so the V8 runs great and the outdrive shift properly into Forward and Reverse.  The actual hours are unknown but estimated to be low - around 600-700.

The NADA guides list it's value between $2100 - $2300, but I am considering posting it on our local Craigslist for $1800 firm due to expired registration and being stored for so long. A few friends of mine think I am nuts for not asking upwards of $3500 because of it's condition, but I am more conservative in my evaluation and I am VERY curious as to what some of you might think would be a fair price.  BTW, this is in no way an Ad... just wanting your honest evaluation/opinions!  Thanks!

I had a boat once,, maintenance nightmare, someone else just had no idea how to wire stuff,, Ill never have another one, unless mabe a flatbottom with a 2 hp,

I would give you 2G (if I had it) for that.

It may depend on the local market (don't know how fast boats sell in your area), but I second the others here and say start with at least the NADA value.  You can always come down on the price if you don't get any bites, but it's hard to go the other direction if you start too low.  If you lived near the great lakes I think it'd be an easy sell -- great size (big but not too big) and looks to be in very nice shape.

Man, I got more than that for a junky old boat with a 4 cylinder in it,, seriously, just because youre tired of it doesnt mak it worthless,, Put a price on it that says you love it & someone is gonna have to bribe you to take it, you can come down if you have to,, Take it to the lake, all spiffed up with a for sale sign on it.

I always heard the best 2 days of owning a boat are the day you buy it, and the day you sell it.  

Just one of the things I never had a desire to own, although I do love riding around in one!  Some great memories on lakes and rivers.  Dated a guy with a boat ...  oh never mind... lol

But I agree its a beauty and once you list low, you can't increase the price.  List higher and come down if necessary.  You'll find out quickly if you're asking too much.

You take it to the lake & get $3800.00 for it you better send me a check, dude!
