NADA Boat Guide |
The NADA Boat Guide provides
used values for boats, personal watercrafts, outboard motors,
and boat trailers. In addition to specifications, it
provides two retail consumer values - low retail value (for
boats that show excessive wear and tear) and average retail
value (for boats in good condition, moderate wear and tear,
with no visible damage or defects, and in sound running
condition). |
|
Boat History Report |
If you find
a boat you are interested in, you will want to obtain a boat
history report (one partner of NADA that provides this service
can be found at
http://www.boathistoryreport.com/) and have a structural
inspection completed to ensure that you determine if the boat
has sustained damage due to a hurricane, flood, or accident.
