Subject: RE: Boat value from a fishermans standpoint


Personally I don't consider a boat with the wrong trolling motor to be worth much more, if anything, than a boat without a trolling motor.

I looked for a boat for over a year and sellers would constantly brag about the 50lb trolling motor they had on a 17' Deep-V. That motor had absolutely no vale to me whatsoever. The same went for old electronics, stereos, bimini tops, old batteries, et cetera. All the items they thought significantly increased the value of the boat were completely worthless to me.

I’d start looking for the boat size, brand, model, anything immediately. When you know what you want out of a new boat it becomes really easy to see what you want to cross over from your old boat. Unless that’s a 70lb trolling motor, you probably don’t want it. Unless that’s a good fish finder, you probably don’t want it. If you’re upgrading to console boat, you probably don’t want that tiller. While that 2003 looks new, it’s still an 03 and it ain’t getting any newer.
