    maybe upgrading

    Thinking about selling my boat instead of trading it in when I upgrade. 2015 179trx with a 115 4 stroke. Has lowrance HDS Gen2 Touch, 9 at console, 7 at the bow. Linked with structure scan(lss2). Yep I know Gen2 is no longer supported. I have navionics chip for it and it works great. Mounted on precision sonar plates with gimble mounts. Motorguide digital pro 82#,24 volt. Onboard Minnkota 3 bank charger. It has about 50 hours if not less on it. Most of that from this year. What do you think it should go for?

    What? do I smell funny? Type funny? No ideas on what is a fair price to ask for? Never sold a boat this new.

    I would do computer searches to find out how much others have gotten for boats similar to yours.......

    Most likely going to be I'd imagine around 20k. I'd think that would be a fair price

    I'd cruise through sites like boattrader and see what similar boats are going for. Don't expect the cost of your upgraded electronics (which are still very viable IMO) to change the price dollar for dollar. It will bring a bit more but mostly helps you sell it faster.

    Are you getting a bigger boat? If not I would consider keeping what you have... less than 50 hours that boats not even broke in yet!
