Boat NADA Value

[Bricks]

I have a tendency to wait and see if the ad is up for along time l am more willing to try and low ball first offer, if they sound like they might consider it then I will go and look.

Since it will be a few weeks before I go home, I've really paying attention to a few clean boats and seeing how quick they sell. The biggest decision I am facing is, do I want to spend a few more thousand on a bigger boat. Truth be known, I'd jump on a deal for a 175 aluminum, but same for a Nitro, Skeeter, etc.

A few years ago I was looking at used outboard motors. Checked nada prices and found their prices were extremely low on the values of used outboards. I could never come close to their valuation of them. All the used motors I looked at were way higher. Their low valuations didn't seem reasonable. Just my opinion. O - R

This is what I'm seeing too and what prompted me to start my most recent thread. NADA is way lower than what most folks are asking for their late-model, clean, used boats. NADA is also "retail low-average" and if buying from an individual you would expect to be even less. For the boats I'm looking at, most folks will just laugh or not respond when I offer based on low retail NADA.
