Seems high to me for this economy............

The boat and trailor are probably worth around 6k to 7k bassed on what like boats are selling for so just find out what an 06 225 e-tec is worth and you have it.

I thought it was high as well just thought I would see what others thought.

is an 06 etec worth 12,000?

That low deck version is no longer made so you cannot get a direct comparison but - call Wildman and find out what a new 21 Liberator rigged like that Eliminator would set you back.

Assuming that the boat is what he says it is, 17k looks pretty good next to the 45+ you would have to spend on a new boat.

His only problem will be finding someone with the cash as no bank will finance that kind of money on a 30 year old boat.

,but with an '85 300 hp V8. Torque is nice, but an old motor. I paid $10,300 with a very fancy three axle trailer--but steel. Alas, trailer didn't last three years. If you boat in salt, aluminum is a big plus.

That 225 sure ups the value over mine by a lot, but it is sitting on a 23 year old hull. I think he is high. Sad, but putting money into an old boat you love doesn't necessarily increase the value as much.

I really don't have a good handle on the real output of a modern 225 vs an old V8, but we are just shy of 90 with no hydraulic jackplate and a need to go up a little.

By the way, for those of us who shop in the very used market, I don't see the relevance of the comparison to a new boat. But I bet a Wildman prepared Liberator 21 with a new Merc 225 would set you back a lot more than $45,000. It would be worth it--just can't go there.

I would say, though, for a virtually identical hull, the extra freeboard on a post '95 Liberator 21 would be really nice to have.

Looks pretty damn well cared for and clean. And with 4 years of warranty left on the motor I'd say it'd be a fair buy around 16-16.5k.

For not much more, you could buy that 96 Rapid Craft Twister 22 with the 300X that's listed on here.
