NEED HELP on VALUATION . . . What's it worth?
Initially, I obtained this to help my oldest son to use as a live-aboard while going through a divorce - now he's moving to Orlando and won't be near where we could anchor/moor/dock it.
So, before I get in too deep, I am going to sell it.
But (1) I don't want to rip anyone off and
(2) I don't want to have it for sale forever b/c I'm asking too much.
1988 SeaRay 390 EC with twin 454s/7.4L Gassers.
Engine Port: 460 hrs.
Engine Starboard: 470 hrs.
Onan 6.5kw Generator
Diver Cleaned bottom: August 13, 2016.
All original. I recently obtained her from original owner. Has been docked at house on canal off of the ICW in Lighthouse Point for several years.
Neither engines nor generator have been started in at least 4 years, possibly five.
I've read through this entire thread and can say there are the usual water leaks as leakage is visible. The Captain's chair and other cockpit seat port need rebuilt as the wood has rotted as all the 1988s and prior rot.
Everthing is on the boat, even the original spotlight (well, I removed that and took it home so it wouldn't be stolen).
The bilge was dry before I towed it and even after I towed it 3.5 miles and anchored it in Lake Boca Raton for two weeks. But then had diver scrape bottom and clean around props. So when I towed it again 60 miles, props turned and starboard shaft leaked through packing - but was able to bilge with no problem with existing pump and simply hooking up one battery.
Will most likely have professional work on engines to get them running in the next week or so.
SIMPLY PUT - I didn't realize the cost of moving this vessel was so high given its size and didn't realize the cost of fuel per hour for operation; therefore, not a good vessel for my son b/c we live in Tampa Bay Area and it is currently anchored in the St. Lucie River.
QUESTION: What's it worth? What should I ask for it?
