Buying a Boat

[SWFLCHAP]

Im looking at a 2013 AR240 with trailer. NADA gives a low price of 32k but the boat has 350hrs on it. How do I price the boat with higher hours? How much do you deduct if the average usage is 50hrs a year. Boat ran great! Ran it up to 45 with 4 adults and 1 child.

The boat is seven years old- average use 50hrs a year is 350 hrs... so seems like average use to me. Any way 350 hrs is not so much on these boats.

There will be wear items that may be addressing.

Check oil, get compression numbers, check cables and linkages. Pumps and mid bearing may or may not of been serviced. Ask for service history?

I wouldn't worry about hours as if your in Florida you can boat year round.

Goodluck on buy.

32k for a low price is great. Its amazing how these boats don't lose value as much as others
