Value of 1998 Stratos 295 Pro Elite

[Extra260]

Ok Guys here's the deal. I can't make my mind up whether to keep what I have or sell and move up to a bigger boat. I would really like to have a 21 footer. My current rig is a 98 295 PE with a 2001 Yamaha 200 hp Vmax that C&O rebuilt and put on the boat for me last year. The motor might have 5 hours on it at the most. Work kept me off the water last year but that is going to change this year!. The boat has two cosmetic issues. One is the seats need to be recovered. The other is about three years ago part of the roof from the storage building fell and hit the rear corner and caused a spider web looking deal on top of the hull. One of the Guys at C&O looked at it and said it was just cosmetic but could be repaired if I wanted. I just put all new gauges, batteries, windshield and installed a Motorguide 82lb digital tour model TM. It sits on a single axle trailer. Untill this year the boat has sat inside when not in use. If I sell what would you think would be a good starting point?

Thanks Mark

I just traded a 99 295 PE in on a 08 201 and I beleive the dealer was looking to get around 13,000 for the 295. The boat traded was in excellent condition with a very good running 200hp Johnson engine. The dealer rated the boat a 8 3/4 out of 10 condition. Maybe look on some of the boat sale sites and look and see what a boat similar to yours is going for.

Good luck
