FB Marketplace is the new Craigslist. Do a search for similar boats in your area and price yours based of the comps. NADA isn't really keeping up with the inflation of the used boat market. With 2003 Magic deck boats selling for over $100k, and 1990 21' open bows selling for $15-20k, the market for used boats is still strong.

If it’s clean and sub 100 I think they’re moving. My magic moved in 10 days of listing. Anothe rnagic sold in 1 day. Few nordics also sold in 10-14 days from what I saw. The boat I bought sat for a few months but I think due to the price most people imo can’t pay cash for a 200+ boat and need financing and with rates how they are those sat. We will see how the next few months play out. A lot of industries are slowing. People are cutting back spending. But there is still alot of people boating

So many on this site look at the market everyday so if you post what you have, a number of guys will be able to give you a rough estimate of value.

The market is really really soft right now though. The standard 21 day cruisers are not selling....tons are listed in the $25-35k range and not one has moved. There is actually a really clean 21 Ultra day cruiser on Marketplace with decent colors priced at $17k and it's not even selling. I know this boat because I sold one for $20k pre-covid and the owner said he had an offer at the peak for $30k. I think we are on the way back down.

I agree that the boat and SxS markets are really slow right now. Probably the RV/Toy Haulers also.
Not much is moving at all.

IF you look on FB Mktplc, there are some pretty good deals on boats right now. Several Elim Daytonas, Ultras, alot of go fast boats.
