The core needs to be redone?? A core doesn't go bad because of age it goes bad because water gets in. That boat was less than 20k brand new, it was probably closer to 12k.

The fact that you think the core needs to be redone and you trust NADA is very telling. Please go find a brand new boat just like it and report back here with the prices you find.

I think this boat is awesome. I love boats of this era and being a 1 owner with original Boat, Motor and trailer is super cool. Nice classy color too. FYI price is now 15k on Craigslist. I’m actually surprised that the price on boats like this hasn’t sky rocketed much like 5.0 stangs, Irocs etc from the 80’s. Nostalgia is a very powerful thing.
