New to the forums. I am looking to possibly upgrade to a 2018 LS e series. My boat has 70 hrs on it and is in fantastic shape. I am wondering if anyone on here would have any idea what trade in value would be for this boat, or if anyone would be interested in it?

What year did the E series get the huge bimini top and solar panels? I thought that was ‘16, maybe?

I changed out the tower on my e series because I did not like the Bimini. I had the dealer change it to the limited s tower. I should have pointed that out.

Depending on your location, typically this time of year is a buyers market... Also maybe hard to arrange sea trials in places, unless you are in FL!
If you don;t mind, I'm curious why 2018 and not 2019? 2019 which has some new features.

Looking at a carryover 2018 and can’t justify the cost difference with the changes from 18-19. I am in Iowa so it will be awhile before the ice houses are off the lake and we can get back to being lake rats.
