verdehunter Report post Posted March 29 What’s the market right now for decent 14’ aluminum boats w/trailer and trolling motor? I’ve seen some posted for a wide variety of prices but what are people actually getting for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roosevelt Mark Report post Posted March 29 As much as they can, market is usually high this time of year for a few months. Boat shops are running 4 plus weeks out right now for service and repairs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boarman03 Report post Posted March 29 Depends on condition, additional equipment on the boat, titled trailer, untitled trailer, condition of trailer and tires, no trailer, age, and how badly someone needs the money. If you the buyer is happy and the seller is happy, it's a good deal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hopsfarmer Report post Posted March 29 What kind of range have you seen lately? I haven’t been watching for a bit, but logged on today to see what might be for sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven’t been watching for a bit, but logged on today to see what might be for sale. Anywhere from $1,000 for bare boat/trailer and maybe a trolling motor to $3-4,000 for more micsellaneous stuff included. Reason for asking is I cane across one for $1,300 and another for $1,500 and was trying to make sure I was getting a good deal. I think either one would I’d come out ahead, but just thought I’d check. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AjoAl Report post Posted Sunday at 04:56 PM Assuming use case will be AZ Rim lakes which have shallow ramps & both of the boat's integrity & capacity placards are fairly equal. Ask yourself some of the following ?'s to help guide you to the decision (i'm sure others on CWT can chime in with additional suggestions). Boat interior configuration which is more conducive of your fishing style (Rod, Tackle box cooler placement) Greater Beam Width will provide more space for gear and to move around Greater Chine width will provide a lit bit more stability if you need to stand up for a minute & when getting into boat from dock (at this price point there might be only trivial gains by a inch or two) Greater Freeboard height will bring some comfort if the wind kicks up some waves. Transom height will guide future upgrades on trolling or outboard motors Trailer bunk height in the back, once you get above 20" you need to put the tow vehicle's back wheels deeper into the water to float you boat. Remedies if you are having trouble floating the boat off the trailer & hate wet socks (Hitch extender or longer trailer tongue) "Tight lines" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted Sunday at 06:28 PM seems like the used market is slow to me, ive had my tracker for sale for several months with zero interest. Rifles are not moving well either, at least on the high end stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutchmanazA1 Report post Posted Monday at 01:56 AM Storage fees (covered) stop me in my tracks from buying even a budget boat. Insane from what I've seen. Wish I had the room to keep it at the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
