need some history of the boat,
are you the original owner? if not how long have you owned it?
Always fresh water or salt?
how many hours are on the engines?
Do you have a YDS print out of error codes/current engine data?
where is kept when not in use?
Do you have you have any sort of maintenance records?
have you ever done any repair work to it?

I am the third owner and have owned for 5 years.
As far as I know, it has always been in and around Indiana fresh water and man-made not-so-fresh waterways.
I don't know the engine hours but would guess around 300. 20 hrs/yr X 15 yrs = 300 hrs.
I store it in my poll barn when not using as shown in the CL post.
I do the annual maintenance and repair because I am a gear head and somewhat of a perfectionist. My perfectionism has slowly declined after marriage and kids. :woot::woot::woot:
I replaced...
- the plastic scupper with a brass one
- the sound deadening on engine bay hatch
- the fuel level sensor
The engines start in ~2 seconds and run as they should.
The boat gets up on plane quickly and tops out at ~50.
Everything operates as it should and I do not know of any issues.

Cleanout plugs go in and out easily ?
These are regular MR1 engines, not the HO version correct?

I'd suggest taking it to a PWC shop or somebody with a YDS to confirm hours and any engine codes and get a print out of it, that might give a little more confidence to a buyer,

Otherwise I'd say you were in the ball park on price,

It's a nice boat, Ultimately sales price will depend on your local market, and your buyer :). I'd say warmer weather will bring more interest. If you needed the cash yesterday you may have to go lower to move it in the winter. If you are willing to wait for the right buyer that appreciates the condition of the boat, you might get lucky and sell for asking price. See what else is selling in your area to get an idea. I would recommend getting some pictures with some additional sunlight to fully appreciate the boat. When I last sold mine I recorded a brief video that I think also helped.
Best of luck!

Beautiful boat!
I would include SeaDek in your list of upgrades, that is so well done in your boat. With the number of pieces and install this would be priced between $1-2k.

EDIT: Price-wise I think you are in the ballpark. Maybe 14-15k is more realistic but it also depends on the season, big time.
I have seen Sr230s with a pylon for watersports - mounted in the middle table mounting hole, since they don't have towers, it is inexpensive and can work extremely well - if any potential buyers raise a question about it.

Congratulations, I'd consider that in the ball park, now lets get you posting about that new boat now that you have some up grade money in your pocket!
