Hey everyone -- just posting the details about my RT188 that is going up for sale and curious to get your thoughts on a fair asking price. I'll share my exact dealer cost and the upgrades. Just not too familiar with the immediate depreciation on boats and I want to get it submitted to BBC soon. Don't want to shoot myself in the foot considering some of the upgrades were pricey, but I know I'll take a hit too.
A few quick notes:
- boat has been on the lake once (twice counting dealer water test)
- less than 4 hours...didn't quite finish break in
- kept outside but fully covered (only been a few weeks)
Upgrades:
- Platinum Mercury Extended Coverage for 5 years post factory warranty (through 09/04/2023)
- MercMonitor (L2) w/ SmartCraft Gauge (installed in place of factory spedo)
- Mercury engine harness installed for MercMonitor
- Lowrance HDS-12 Gen3 bow mounted (using 4" BBT mount)
- Lowrance HDS-9 Gen3 console mounted (using BBT console mount for RT188)
- Two DuraSafe E-Lock kits for HDS units (not installed)
- NEMA2000 Network installed and both HDS units are networked
- HDS-12 unit up front also has the universal sonar from the Fortrex TM connected
- LSS2 and HDI transducer installed (cables run) but not mounted to boat yet (that was the next step)
- 4 brand new life vests from Bass Pro Shops
- digital trim sender kit (not installed)
- some other minor accessories
Boat itself:
- 2016 Ranger RT188 in Charcoal color (single console)
- Mercury 115HP 4S (w/ custom cover from Merc)
- Dual Pro 15x3 Battery Charger
- Fortrex 24V 80LB US Trolling Motor
- Ranger RT188 Factory Cover
- Auto Bilge Pump
- Stainless Ladder
- Front Rod Strap
- Recirculating Pump
- SS Prop
- 4" Hydraulic Jack Plate
- Aluminum Spare
- Aluminum Wheel Upgrade
- Upgraded Tie Downs
- Trailer Brakes
Dealer price BEFORE the upgrades listed above (just the boat and factory options) was $30,821.52. That includes taxes, freight and dealer prep.
Thanks in advance for any help/guidance.
