What's this '88 Maxum Runabout worth???

[R-Dub's88Maxum]

I bought this last fall from a friend of mine for $500 and was planning to replace the deck and interior to use it for fishing and skiing. Now I am short on cash and time and think I will be better off to resell it as is. Also, this is my first boat and I have never done a restoration, but was considering it after doing some research here.

I think my friend gave me a deal and am hoping to get $1,000 out of it, if not more. What do you guys think is a fair price?

1988 17' Maxum Runabout
3.0 litre Merc Alpha One I/O - runs good

Deck is soft and vinyl is cracked/worn.

Trailer is in good condition.

Thanks for your input!

Ayuh,... As a complete unit, ya, you should be able to double yer money...
Part it out, piece by piece, you could potentially quadruple it...

I would put it on Craigslist for $1,200 and be ready to negotiate and see what happens.


EDIT: Correction to the above. You didn't bother filling out your profile so we have no idea where you are located. You may well be in a part of the country that $500 is about right.

I'm in Wisconsin. Thanks for the input guys.

It's worth $500. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try to get $1200 for it though! It is Spring after all.
