It has a 90 Yamaha 2 stroke. it is always covered and shink wrapped it the off season. It has all the cushions. Can anyone help me?

Post some pictures, list whats included, and I'm sure we can help you. The range can be quite large depending on condition and whats included. Perhaps $12k to $17k.

nats	posted 02-24-2008 08:21 PM ET (US)             THE BOAT IS SHRINK WRAPPED NOW. I MAY BE SELLING IN OR BEFORE THE SPRING. THE BOAT IS CHERRY. IT IS LOCATED IN PASADENA MARYLAND.
friend99	posted 02-24-2008 08:33 PM ET (US)          Nats....if you decide you are going to sell, once you take the shrink wrap off, post some pics and list of options/accessories/electronics, etc. and I will be happy to help estimate a fair price.
maybe	posted 02-26-2008 09:14 PM ET (US)          Nats, Do you what your asking price is going to be? I'm looking for a 17ft Montauk in or around MD. Any additional info on the boat...
boatsaver	posted 02-28-2008 08:27 AM ET (US)             The "secret" of selling a boat quickly is to reduce the price to an amount you are not that happy with. If you enjoy selling a boat in a buyers' market, offer it for more than you would pay for it.
bhmiller3	posted 03-06-2008 07:44 PM ET (US)             Have you checked out www.nada.com? They have used "book" value pricing on the '97 Montauk. Also, have book value pricng on engines and trailers. I used it in my divorce proceedings, took the average of the high and low and was never questioned. Good luck. BTW - I am in no way affiliated with NADA. Bruce

bmc720	posted 03-08-2008 10:01 AM ET (US)             hey friend99, isn't the price pretty easy? 12k if you are buying, 17k if you are selling..........
