    What do you think it's worth? 1997 ragin Cajun 185

    I posted this on the Cajun forum but didn't get any answers so I figured I'd try here. I have a 1997 ragin Cajun 185 with a 150 hp Evinrude intruder. The boat and the engine are both in fantastic shape. The gel coat has no stress cracks or oxidation, and the engine runs strong. It has an 80 lb ultrex along with two Garmin gps map 93sv and two power pole sportsman's. I'd like to sell it this winter and be into something newer and bigger in the spring. What do you think the boat is worth with those accessories and without.

    Probably 6-7k with or without poles and ultrex. Probably get more out of it selling the poles separate and trading the ultrex for a cheaper, used motor. Good looking rig for sure though.

    For pricing I've had good luck looking on Craigslist, for similar rigs, and for the accessories. For the accessories, look on the sale ads, on this site.

    NADA puts in between 5-6G the extras I would value at about half what you paid for them maybe a little less. Being that it is in what looks like great condition from pics i would list it at 8 and expect offers around 6,500-7.

    I have the same boat in a 1996 with a Johnson 150. Not sure the exact price but they are listed on the NADA listing. The Cajun doesn’t hold value like some of the other brands. I love mine and will keep it. I thought I wanted a new rig. I rode in a Skeeter, and a Basscat, the Cajun rides like the Basscat. The Cajun is a very well built boat. I just couldn’t spend 60k plus for a rig that was no better than what I have.. good luck
