Following on from all the information I have learned from this forum and my other thread on volvo engines I have been to look at a boat and need to get a better idea on valuation. Checking boats on here they seem to differ quite a lot. It is a Sealine S24 with a Volvo AD31P-A which has been run for about 150 hours. The boat has been out of the water for over 12 months, the canopy is knackered and therefore has let in water. Generally with a good scrub up it would come back to its former glory. The outside needs 2-3 days polishing with a mop. It needs serviceing anodes and antifouling. It comes with usual electronics and electric winch but there is no trailer. Boat was registered in 1999. It is being sold as seen and no warranty although they don't object to me sending someone to do an inspection and sea trial.(What would that cost?)
Anyone want to have a go at valuation.

£31,995 ?

Minus £500 for a new canopy, minus £250 for a good polish and valet. Check that the seat backs at the rear are okay, otherwise deduct another £250.

Net Result, £31,000 ???

Only guessing...

You should alway get at least 10% off. I'd open with an offer of £26k.

Sealine are selling a 1998 S24 with kad32's for about £37K or a 2000 on a petrol for about 31K, Suspect £31K would be ok if in good condition, but as it needs work, suspect maybe £25K as starting offer

As previous posts,
Start £25k, the sellar has neglected it cosmeticaly & almost certainly mechanicaly & is most likely motivated to sell.
Point out the neglect & try not to have "I want it" writen all over your face when viewing, this is possibly the hardest part but I always fail at this point.
Start asking to see paperwork, bills of sale & services done etc, phone around the engineers on the recepts to see if they have concerns or not!

Is the boat with a reputable broker?
Make sure the sellar owns the boat.
You will find a survey invaluable.
Good luck.

single or twin engine? if single AD31, then it may be a little sluggish, perhaps.

its a single engine. I intend to do local cruising and not interested in water sports. The boat has been sat for 12 months on hard standing and looking at its general condition there wont be a queue to buy it, also it is overpriced. I looked at the boat before christmas and will leave it another week or so before i wade in with a low offer. as most of you have advised I think 25k is a good price.
