    Whats this boat worth?

    I'm looking at a '90 Stratos 201 Pro Elite. Has '95 Johnson Venom 200 installed new in 2000.
    Original owner. Boat is very clean, very little stress cracks, gelcoat in great shape. Dual console, has hydraulic jackplate, new carpet, new uphoalstry, Lowrance X-19, motorguide 67# tm, sitting on dual axle trailer in good shape. Some of the switches are stiff or sticky and need replaced.

    Wanting to avoid a money pit but pumps and what-not are no big deal to replace. Mainly concerned with the motor. When I go back to drive the boat I plan on doing compression test.

    What would be a good price for a boat like this? Any thing to look for?

    Re: Whats this boat worth? (basslips)

    First of all welcome aboard , I dont know what the boat is worth, but this place has people that seem to know alot about just about everything, always keep in mind, that boats are an investment and after finding out what the "book" value is, the main question is then "Whats it worth to you?"

    Very true. Price is $7900 firm. It really is a nice boat but its still 21 years old! My last boat was a new '98 Skeeter zx185 and find it hard to go backwards in a boat.

    Burnt myself out of fishing doing too many tournaments but now my son is 10 growing up so fast and loves to fish I need to get him out on the water. Just have a hard time spending what newer boats are going for.

    I had a 95 Johnson 200 Venom on a 91 Skeeter 200DX... just got rid of it last year... It ran like a scalded dog, was very gas thirsty....

    I popped it twice, had it rebuilt, removed the oil injection, mixed my own oil, and it ran fine for years after that.

    I'm no expert, but that price seems really high to me. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

    That sounds a little high in this market. It is a buyers market right now and there are a lot of good deals out there. Remember, no price is ever "firm".

    yeah.. seems VERY high, considering that the average retail is around 3350.

    I would offer hom no more than 5500. if he doesn't take it, then walk.

    Thanks guys. Like i said its a nice boat for its age. But I might go ahead and look for something into the $20-$25k range. That gets me alot newer boat/motor that may avoid alot of nickel and dime repairs and aggrevation. The NADA value for that boat/motor is no where close to asking price.

    Re: (basslips)

    That's too much for that boat. I have an 89 201 and would feel lucky to get $4500 for it. I love the ride and it's plenty of boat for me. I bought it a several years ago for $3500. I saw a mid 90's 201 with a 200 venom the other day for $6500. Person could probably get it for $5500 if he's still got it.

    Bottom line is what its worth to you. If its been taken care of and garaged it ought to be a fine rig. Im thinking around $5500ish based on what you describe.

    ep72 is exactly right, if it fits your needs and you feel it's worth it, I say go for it.
