Old Santa Cruze Owner
The thought of putting this boat up for sale brings a tear to my eye as I have trailed it and boated all over the country with many memories. It's triple axle aluminum trailer handles it easily.
I have no clue as to how much to charge. To replace a boat like this is impossible. And similar boats are costly. I have added many items like 2 25 gallon fuel tanks which gives it a range of about 250 miles at 25 to 30 MPH. I need some advice as to pricing and sales.
Thanks everyone.

Re: Old Santa Cruze Owner
Unfortunately, that does nothing for the buyer. You aren't going to get much. I can't tell you what that would be, but not what it's worth to you. Sell it to somebody that has a child or two, give them a super deal, and know that you are creating another family's memories.
Leave a decent bottle of champagne or prosecco in the sink along with a "congrats" note.
Good Luck!

Thanks. I do have a log of our adventures with the boat, but no kids or family. All will be lost.

Re: Old Santa Cruze Owner
There is some satisfaction in that.
One thing you could do is google that particular model and year and see what they are selling for across the country. When I bought my 81 3007 there were a total of 5 listed including mine. The high listing was $24995 and the low listing was $11995. The seller of my 3007 was asking $19995. We settled on $17000.
Good luck selling yours.
