Question:
Besides looking at the ads, are there any equivalent Kelly Blue Book
type links for Bass Boat?
I'd like to research all possible angles for prices.
As my search stands now I am waiting word on a G3 HP 170 with the Yamaha
115 hp 4 stroke. The guy says his friend would let it go for what he
owes and it has very low hours. He mentioned somewhere around 10 grand.
I think that is a good deal not even knowing what year it is yet.
According to Blue Book and NADA, I could ask $6,500 for it,
selling it as a "private party".
Answer:
-There sure is, try http://www.nadaguides.com It's not exact, but it will
get you in the ballpark.
-Nada appears to be closer to real prices than blue book in my opinion.
-The local tax appraiser uses NADA - I protested this year when they had
my Skeeter valued for tax purposes at almost $2000 more than I paid for
it three years ago - and that is without the trailer. Offered to sell
it to them at that price
-You get taxed on your boat?
Up here we shoot any politician that is stupid enough to come up with
a fool idea like that!!!
Around here Nada is closer to the value people are selling things for.
I checked Nada against blue book on things like
trucks/boats/motorcycles and that's where my opinion comes from.
-Property taxes in Ga include all the property you own, including boats
and cars. We have a fairly low income tax and lower sales tax than
many states. I suspect my combined taxes here in Ga are lower than they
would be there on the same income and assets.
