APPRAISAL: 1964 17-footer

Postby Rfiorelli » Tue Jun 15, 2021 7:23 pm

What is the value of a 1974 17-footer [which is completely undescribed and is shown in a few images below]?

Maybe $3,000 to $4,000.

The boat looks like it was a CURRITUCK. See

https://continuouswave.com/whaler/refer ... #currituck

A few pictures really tell very little.

What is the engine? Does it run?

What is the trailer? Is it road-ready?

Have you sea-trialed the boat?

Bottom paint can hide many flaws.

The wood looks very dark. Is it original?

83 90 hp Johnson. says it runs well. I’m going to see it this weekend. It’s a [CURRITUCK], top speed around 40.

I’ll ask him more questions later. I asked if it’s waterlogged and if the hull is in good shape. He said no water, and it’s in good shape. The pictures make it look good to me. I’ll ask to lower the price.

It is not a 1974 as it has a blue hull. The engine "resembles" a 1983 but decals are wrong.
