I have to sell the boat, and was wondering what a fair price would be. I will start saying it is a model #224 1985 hull. It has never had bottom paint on the boat. It has been in a boat house all it's life. I am the second owner. It has a Yamaha 175 Hp. Saltwater edition 2 stroke engine with practically no hours. I have 5 hours on the boat, and the previous owner had installed the motor 4 years ago and then got cancer. He remained sick for 2 years before death and it continued to sit in the slings. My mechanic said the engine appeared to new but I still had him to a full tune up, as well as new water pump, thermostats, and plugs etc. I bought the boat 2 months ago and have found out that I will need to go back to school for my masters deg. and will not have time for the boat, so it needs to go. I have just ran all new fuel lines, as well as a new bilge pump and switch. I also purchased new trailer tires and new LED lights for the trailer. I also purchased new Navigation lights for the boat but have not had time to install. I need to sell the boat, and would like some input from you guys to her value. Thanks Don

Sounds like the Holy Grail!!!!!!!!
Lets see pictures.
I'll put it this way, my 1982 model 224 has been meticulously brought back to a condition that I would call an 8 out of a possible 10. My motor is a 1996 Johnson the lower unit is brand new and the power head has 250 hours. My electronics are all new. I would not part with mine for less than 15K in the present market. If that boat is as good as you say I would expect in the neighborhood of 18K. Alot depends on the market where you live though.

Posting pictures will really help to sell the boat.
Pictures from all directions - inside and out, including engine shots.
Good luck- I understand that the 224's a unique model.

A very in demand model, but the HP of the engine hurts it alot. 175 is just not enough.

Sounds like a nice rig, I would put 12K on it sight unseen. It would bring 15-17 ral fast if it were not under powered. A 175 just is not enough on a 224.

That is an 18,000 boat up here. DOwn your way where boats are a dime a dozen...probably looking at 14-15k.
