Every year (or so) I look at the market for the boat that I own, just to see what things looks like. Since I have a fairly common boat, there are quite a few on the market (listed for sale).
Well due to winter boredom, I made this chart below of Formula 330 Sun Sports that are listed for sale across the USA, noting the model year and the asking price. Each 'X' mark on the graph represents a Formula 330 boat that is currently listed for sale . . . I found 45 of them. I'm sure there are a few more. I also compared the NADA estimated market value, which as you can see is a bit on the low side. I only did the 1996-2004 models just for convenience sake. The boat was produced up through 2008.
Anyway, just thought I would share for anyone interested (Rick, you still looking for a Formula 330?). This sort of thing could probably be done for many of the more common/popular boats. The chart gives a perspective on the market and what is likely to sell and at what price.
I have a theory that boats generally sell at the lower end of the asking price range for any given model/year of boat. So, you can see within the boxed area the boats that are likely to sell. The higher priced ones, will probably still be there on next year's chart Certainly condition is a factor that comes into play, but nearly all of the boats that I found were in good condition, some were pristine.
