found a nice 1997 super sport for sale. Guy is asking 28,900 for it when the average retail is only 20,900. Is this outrageously hi, or am I missing something here?

1. Trailer is not included in NADA value.
2. Tower, ballast, racks, PerfectPass, etc. make it more comparable to a Super Air.
3. You do pay extra for good condition.
4. People sometimes report lower sales prices to cheat on taxes. Maybe that can affect things?
5. Maybe he's expecting everyone to want to negotiate and expects it to sell for less than the asking price, regardless of where he sets it.

I would say that price is way to high but 20K is a little low (maybe). Here is a 2001 for the same price.

I agree, don't like the green. The boat is in good shape.

LoneStar,
NADA prices do include single axle trailer value:
"VALUES INCLUDE SOME MANUFACTURER'S SPECIAL OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT. (*)INCLUDES THE VALUE OF A SINGLE AXLE TRAILER. (**)INCLUDES THE VALUE OF THE FLIGHT CONTROL TOWER, EXTENDED PYLON AND LCS."
Tandem can't be much more, as brand new there is only $600 difference. I got a quote for a boat without a trailer.

One more question. 2001 super air Nautique vs 2001 super sport nautique? What's the difference in these boats? Identical hulls? Ballast? other options on the air?

99-06 SAN= 95-06 SS. In 2002 they made a new deck mold that makes the transom more squared off and the gunnels were made to be narrower to make the boat to feel bigger. However the hull has (aside from some minor tweaks in '04 dealing with weight in the bow.) remained unchanged since 1995 when it was introduced.

Anyways, "Air" package is to the Nautique as the Denali is to the Yukon, same boat, different trim and a few extra goodies.

That price does seem on the high side, but I would say that 23-26 would probably be pretty fair. NADA usually runs pretty low for boats in my experience...

We got above NADA value on our last 2 boats, granted the insurance company really didn't care about the NADA value, and the 216 was in pristine condition. Then again both of them were CC's Twisted Evil

NADA is WAY high on cars though, it thinks that my 85 Audi 4kq is worth $2500 Kelly Blue Book says it's worth $900. Sad
