Hang a new power plant one year and pay someone to do nearly a full restoration the next, that's pricey.
Whoever buys that 21 is gonna get off a lot cheaper than me.
Funny thing is, if you click on the link now the seller wants $8000 for the boat, but the ad title says $6900. And again, that's down from the original $9700 he wanted in the first place. I'm wondering if he really wants to sell the boat or if this is one of those "Honey, I have the boat up for sale, what more can I do?" kinda sales that we've seen in the past.
At any rate this thread has taken way too much of our time. So I'll leave with this parting opinion. IMHO, I think that @ $9700 the boat is pricey, @ $6700 it's a good deal. (assuming everythings ok with the boat). Anywhere in between is up to the buyer to make the call about if he thinks the price was fair or not. Cheers...
).Some good points brought up in this thread. I think it is good that everyone stated their opinions. It is kind of like "ask the audience" on who wants to be a millionaire. A lot of times when people disagree they are both wrong and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. In the future when someone comes to this site to assess the value of a V20/21 they will be able to see all opinions and formulate thier own.
That said, a single stand-alone post saying "this boat is too high" might by itself influence the percieved value to a future buyer. However, that post coupled with opinions from other posters to the contrary and such will minimize that effect. In essence, the percieved value falls more toward the middle. What I'm saying is none of us are right, but our opinions together average out to the right answer....or something like that (wtf am I talking about???
As you all are aware, almost any boat you buy is a poor financial investment. You have to know that going into it. I have over 16k in my boat after repowering with a new motor, additions/upgrades and not planning on selling it (unless somebody will trade out/sell me a pimped out Seacraft Sceptre with 225hp 4stroke + on a bracket....still waiting).
Crap, now I've done gone and talked a potential V21 buyer into buying a Seacraft instead.......chit!!!
Reel, that's exactly what I meant when I said quote "Anywhere in between is up to the buyer to make the call about if he thinks the price was fair or not." unquote. When a person buys an item for $5.00 or $5oo,ooo, then that is what the item was actually worth, no matter what opinion someone else may have about the price.
I have to make a comment though. There have been many other posts where members have made comments about how they felt about the price of a boat that was listed for sale. None of them generated so much as a ripple from other menbers. This post though, no matter how I've tried to explain MY position, and why I felt that TO ME the boat was pricey, has generated a constant and sometimes sarcastic attack by bgreene against me and anyone else that agreed with me. I'd like to know why. Normally I'd do this with a PM, but since the attacks were many and in public I'll take the same route. Maybe I'm being thin-skinned, but truthfully this has left a real bad taste in my mouth.
I really want to try one of those $45 steaks.

LOL SSIRED, what is not to love?
I agree on the steaks. I can't imagine paying $45 and feeling like it was worth it no matter how good it was.
I'm gonna be building a new smoker behind my building. Strictly wood coal smoking. While I'm at it I'm gonna build a custom grill w/ adjustable grate just for grilling over wood coals. Pile up a heaping mound of red hot hickory coals and lower the grill as close as I can get it and slap on a BIG FAT fillet..... oh Lord......getting dizzy thinking about it.
