I have been thinking of putting my 18 classic up for sale but not sure what it is worth. The boat is as follows.

Condition is GOOD with some ofthe normal nicks and scratches for a 29 year old boat.
Small chunk about the size of a silver dollar on the top port side near bow.
Color is black and tan.
Repowered about six years ago with a SB 350 Vortex 330hp marinized by Indmar.
Less than 50 hours since repower.
Alpha 1 outdrive.
Bennett trim tabs.
Hydraulic Steering.
Original interior is usable but needs to be replaced.
Always stored inside.
Some fading of gel coat especially on transom.
Engine runs great.
Gaffrig gauges all working.
Always a fresh water boat.
Top speed about 55mph with a 23p Solas 3 blade prop.
Top speed could be improved with some changes to the prop.
Trailer in fair condition.

Any comments onthe going rate of this boat or questions please let me know. Hate to sell my boat, but we just don't get out very often and my wife would like something a little larger.

In advance thanks for your comments.
