    Help Me Value this Boat, Please...

    I've been tasked to help sell a boat for one of my wife's friends. Please help me as to what you feel a good asking price would be. The boat is basically in mint condition.

    1971 Ebbtide (green)
    50 hp Johnson
    Complete with manual for the outboard motor

    Neat old rig. May have some collectors value. Just market value wouldn’t be much imho.

    Can you post some pics of interior? Does the engine run? Someone took good care of that boat cosmetically at least!

    Looks almost new! I guess it is what ever someone wants to give. 2-3 thousand maybe. But don’t know about someone who collects old rigs. I bet you can catch a fish out of it. Would make a great Crappie boat. Don’t care for green but could live with it.

    If it were mine; I would feel lucky to get anywhere around $1500 as it is just not a desirable boat at all to most people.

    Be great for a very very small lake or big pond.
    Finding a buyer will be the hard part.
    I'm thinking a couple of grand at most.
    COVID pricing will be 8 grand. lol

    I am not certain on the value, but that boat is super cool. Thanks for sharing the pics. I think I would ask around $4.5k and see if anyone bites. I suspect the actual sale will come in around $3,500.

    Maybe Randy Blaukat would be interested in it.....

    If the motor runs it'll bring $2500 all day long and sell within a week around here.

    If the motor runs and trailer is in good shape, I would put $3500 on it and see where it goes from there. I would think $3K would be a good price.

    Values are tough right now because the used boat market is so strange. For those saying less, where else are you going to get a well cared for, ready to fish boat that has some decent fishing range to it for $3500? A well equiped kayak goes for more than that!

    Very old boat but, sure is clean. Has it ever been fished out of? If the motor runs good, trolling motor and batteries good, electronics good, $2500. ??

    It looks like the type of boat you see at the ramp not starting by a newbie that just bought it on Craigslist.
    I can't see it being turnkey. When was it last run?

    For sure Randy is the target demographic on this cool old rig. No need for him to change electronics.

    Ebbtide has sort of a cult following in some areas...hard to put a number on it. If it runs I could see 2-3k easily bc of condition. If I had the space for it..id honestly consider it for a river runner.
