Selling the boat, you'll have to look at comparable boats in your area. Depending on how old it is, and how good of shape it's in, it could be worth a few thousand dollars. But sounds like you're selling a leaking problem too.

If you're thinking about converting it to a center console because you'll like it - go for it. If you're thinking about converting it because it'll sell better; you'll never recover your costs back out of it.

If you like it, and couldn't find another like it - I wouldn't fix what's not broken.

Why don't you put some words with your pictures? Just posting pictures isn't telling us anything. Are you selling or converting to a CC?

Keep in mind selling is not permitted in the forum. We can help to place a value, but that's it.

Look up the NADA boat section. Fill in the data and include your zip code. That'll give you starting point. If you get an immediate offer for the "book price", take it. Things are too uncertain now to haggle or wait too long.

That's what I would do, but then again I'm too impatient.

Jims123,thanks for the idea but NADA only goes back to 1971,and my chieftain is a 1967 my wife says I have to minany boats and the 22' is a little hard to manage with just her helping lol I love all my boats but "boat" means bring on another thousand so I think I'll go with the1981 18'starcrarfSS but I still want all of them,thanks again

Not gonna' be a lot of difference from a '67 to a '71. At those ages, condition becomes the key. Check your local Craigslist and/or Facebook Marketplace listings and see what simliar age/size/type boats are selling for. You can get an idea that way.

A nice trailer might add a couple hundred extra, but most people will be more concerned about the condition of the boat and engine.

If the boat is hard to handle for just 2 of you, upgrade the trailer with full rollers and add a power winch and you'll be able to handle it all by yourself.
