boat pricing question - 2008 SANTE 230

[TRO]

Hey y'all - trying to figure out what my boat might be worth if I decide to sell it. It is a 2008 SANTE 230 with the ZR6. It is good condition overall, but not spectacular. It has about 200 hours on it with regular maintenance. Anyone think I'd be in the 50K range? Thoughts?

I would say it is for sure above 50k. But it depends on accessories as well. In the end it is worth what someone will pay and what you will let it go for.

Compare with http://onlyinboards.com/

it has pretty much every accessory you could get on the team edition, ZR6 engine, as well as a 2 bank onboard battery charger, and flushpro kit.

it also have 2 amps, 2 Wetsounds Pro 485s, Wetsounds in-boat speakers. I'm probably just going to offload all my gear with it - 5 750lb fat sacs, wakeboards, ropes, wakesurf boards, etc.

I see some 2008's going for around 55K. I'm guessing it would be around 56-57K in prestine condition with those hours. I think I'm leaning more towards 53K with all of the stereo equipment and gear.

it is also a solid black hull, has the FCT 1 on it.

anyone have any thoughts?

I think your 53k is good. I think selling range is like 47 to 55k. I would price for $55k and be willing to come down depending on how hard you are pushed, and how bad you want the dough.

Haven't seen any for as low as 53k on here or onlyinboards in a while especially with those hours and extras. Most of them are closer to 60k, no??

someone was saying a local dealer had one in excellent condition with less than 100 hours for 60K and it had been for sale for 7 months.

mine is not in mint condition, although it is good condition. it does have the bigger engine and almost every extra you can get.

Color and options will help drive the price point. Also, how quickly do you want to sell? As you know, this is the soft selling season, but in your market, maybe not so bad.
Boats in your age, low hours are in demand, not a whole lot of inventory out there. Solid black is a high demand color way...

Post up some pics inside and out....

I'm working on getting some pics of the inside. Here's a pic of the outside.

I'm not looking to sell immediately. I'm actually thinking about posting it for around 57K.

[Miljack]

Just my $0.02, you won't get "paid" for the Wetsounds gear, nor the Towerbiminis top, etc...do you have the stock gear to put on there? As you know you have ~$4k in stereo gear there, another $1k in the top, nice wheels on the trailer, etc...
I think 57k w/stock stereo stuff is a good deal w/ your hours and oher options, if you're not in a hurry, see what kind of activity @57 you see and adjust accordingly.

Strip it factory options and start at 57k sounds reasonable enough to me. 08, black and bling factor seem to be on your side...at least by that pic.

^^^this, PlUS you have the ZR6.

[ViSoR]

I agree with what was said, I regret leaving my Wetsounds Pro485's on the '05 210 I just sold.

Are you buying another nautique, why getting rid of it? Have you considered selling thru a dealer via consignment?

if you are going to buy a new nautique, your dealer can sell that for more than you could.... gorgeous boat you have there, I have no doubt that would sell at 57 in Dallas...

Me? I'd do a consignment thru your dealer starting at 60k, strip your big stereo out of there... and put some cheapie speakers on the tower.
