Older Switzer Craft. Need help!!

[niegelp]

I was recently given a '79 Switzer Craft. Not sure of the model as of yet. She's 20ft, might be a GL20...not sure. What I'm trying to find is the value of something like this. I am in the process of restoring it, and want to know what kind of money these things are bringing these days. Any help at all is appreciated. I'll try to get pics up ASAP.

Check BusValue. Probably one of the best sources for value but... Regional differences can be extreme. The same boat in Florida will be priced very different than one in Montana.

Thank you very much.

And ... "completely restored" may or may not effect the value of the boat in the market place. Running and useable is one thing, but running, usable and "completely restored" doesn't take you much further in terms of value in the market. Cool old boats don't gain value like cool old cars. So, make sure you're restoring it 'cuz you like it and wanna' play with it. You likely won't make your money back on it.

It is a cool old boat though.
