1999 mariah shaba z212 with 97 hours 5.7 injected motor with bravo 3 dual prop in perfect condition had to buy a 3600.00 staniless steal trailer wondering what the value of the boat is

Joe, You need to check the NADA site to get an idea on the value of a boat. Values vary based on condition, installed options, location, time of year, whether there's a market for the boat etc etc etc. NADA will give you a relatively reasonable value.

You also need to take some time to look thru the forums and become familiar with the layout. Pay some particular attention to the STICKYS that are located at the top of most of the forums as they contain lots of valuable information on each area.

Thanks for your help. This boat looks like new and 97 hours. I don,t want to sell it to cheap. Plus it has a brand new trailer. Thanks again. Joe

Alright, I'll bite.

Not sure where you are located, so that might change things, but... in the midwest, if I came across a 99 z212 in the 10-11k range, it would catch my attention. 12-14k and I'd at least look at the listing. 15-18k I would expect at a dealer and I wouldn't even click on the CL ad. I'd move on while muttering "good luck selling that one". 8-9k and I'd pick up the phone to talk about it and pass the listing on to friends that might be looking for a boat.

New trailer doesn't change the price much for me... Around here, very few runabouts are sold without trailers and I expect a boat to come with a road worthy trailer. The only way it matters to me is if it's NOT road worthy, then I expect a reduced asking price to compensate.

Bear in mind, I drove 1100 miles to pick up my Jubilee because I found what I considered to be a good deal on it :-) Also, the 98-01 Mariah's are getting harder to find and you never know who will be willing to drive across the country for one in mint condition.
