2010 212SS - trying to figure out reasonable selling price

[Teledatageek]

I think the only option I have is the galvanized trailer. That said, all fresh water use. Has a few scuffs on the hull from ill placed docking. Other than that in pretty good shape. Always stored indoors and professionally serviced. I estimate @60 hours. I bought in spring 2010 so have had 3 summers. I put new radials on the trailer last summer. Pricing ideas?

Best bet is to look up the blue book value, and then judge your boat against other 2010s on the market. If you list where you are, you might get an offer of someone to come and read the hours for you. That would be helpful to know for sure.

Thanks. I did look up on NADA - is that a good source? I'm presuming retail numbers are sales by dealers or private parties? I'm in Upstate NY - not seen a lot of 212SS's for sale let alone 2010's unless I'm not looking in the right places... On the hours - there is an hour meter but I'm not sure it's accurate. Is there another means to get the hours via the engines?

There is a more accurate way to read the numbers if you have the YDS (Yamaha Diagnostic System) It is composed of a software disk and special cable to access each engine's computer. You can have a local dealer do it for a small fee or, as @Julian mentioned if you post your location in upstate New York there may be another member up there, with the YDS, that would do it for free. Just saw your last post where you got the hours read.

The first place I would go to is boat trader to establish a pricing baseline. For there you can try to compare the age and condition of your boat and price accordingly. Time of year and your desire to sell should be taken into account as well. You are correct though, many of the Yamaha's are not easy to find on the used market and generally hold their value well if properly maintained.
