Boat Value Help??? Blazer Bay 24' CC
 

Hey Guys,

Somewhat new to the site. Long time lurker for the fishing reports. I started trying to learn and fish Dularge about a year ago (grew up fishing Bayou Black) and found this site really helpful. I currently have a bass boat, which is great, but I would like to venture out to the Mardi Gras, the islands, and in the coastal lakes and not have to worry about it getting rough. My uncle has an 02 Blazer Bay 24' CC that he never uses. Bought. It from his brother, so I know both owners. I called him yesterday to see if he would sell it and surprisingly he said he would. Told me to look online and get an idea of what it's worth. I looked all last night and found nothing. So I am hoping some of you can give me some feedback. It's an 02 hull with an 02 Yamaha 225 with 500'ish hours. Has a Garmin GPS about a year old and an aluminum Coastline tandem axle trailer that's about a year old. He is supposed to be sending me pics soon. If he does I will post them. I plan on going check it out in the next few weeks in Houston. Am I out of line thinking I should offer $8-$10k? I have seen new ones online for $30-$35k. Any feedback is appreciated.

8-10 sounds like a steal.. the bigger question is weather or not you can afford to use the boat as much as you would like to. $100 bucks will not fill up the gas tank, and you will need a good truck to pull it.

Pulling it and gas won't be an issue. I'm thinking ill offer him $12-$15k and see what he says.

I wouldn't offer more than 10k

I just sold an 08. I let it go for 27K

I really appreciate all of the feedback. I will talk to him more this week about it. I'm hoping I can pick it up for around $10k then throw a power pole and jack plate on it and be done. I'll post pics if he sends them. I haven't seen it in years but supposed to be in good shape.

Excellent shape no more than $15,000.


Don't tell him about thehulltruth though, he can get $30,000 for it on there.

Spoke with him tonight and he emailed some pics of it. Said he will be asking more than $10k and that he would get back to me once he gets with his insurance company to see what they value it at. I want this boat, but I just can't justify spending more than 14 or 15k for an 02 model. I attached a pic that he sent.

From what i can see the Boat and Trailer looks good.

15 is good, if you don't buy it someone else will i can promise you that.

I think 15k would be a very good deal. Gota pay to play.

Very true.

Well, I was supposed to buy the boat next month… And my uncle sent me this pic this morning… My luck as usual.

damn that sucks!!! Did the whole storage place burn down?

Wow!!

Yea some dumb arse 19 year old kid with mental issues set it on fire and watched from across the street.

Damn that hurts.

wow, that friggen sucks.

That was a nice boat.

At least now you can get it really cheap.

Wow that's crazy man well I guess your uncle will still come out on top if it's insured

Yea he's making out ok on insurance. Lost a bit with the new trailer and electronics though. Shat happens I guess.

Holy smokes (pardon the pun). Was that at Bobby Lynn's?

"Mental issues". We all got 'em at some point 'n' time.Thing is....they won't (can't) do a damn thing to him. That is the best way to get away clean with murder. Just claim you have "mental issues".

Tough break, buddy.

Not sure. It was at a storage place in Houston. They had campers and everything out there.

Sad but true.

Okay. Reason I ask is because I fished out of Bobby Lynns's in Leeville 2 weekends in a row. Part of their boatshed caught on fire in the week between my 2 trips and 8 or so boats were toasted.
