    Good inshore boats.
    $12-15k at a guess.
    Considering I sold a 509 with a Yamaha 70 for 21k three years back, prices keep going on up.
    I wouldn't pay that but that's what I'd expect...

    What's the motor and trailer like?
    How many HP?
    I see it's rope start? and tiller steer and manual tilt?
    That's a fair devalue In my eyes bit beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
    If the trailers good I'd be thinking under 10k
    If the trailer is end of life take 3-4k off that.

    For sure have a good look for stress cracks and check the welds at pontoon to hull along the bottom in particular.

    bit under powered really needs a 40 min and forward steer the 18 hp is a good motor for its weight I change my mind now and say 8 k max lot of windage with the high sides and dodger and you at back .

    If it leaks, it's a bit of a end deal for me. My concern with older ali's is once they start popping weld seams etc it's a serious bugger to keep sealing up the cracks as they keep spreading. Old ali gets contaminated to hell and it makes a lot of big ugly ropey welds all over the place.

    Price it as a trailer, an outboard and whatever other accessories come with it.

    Looks like one of the original (cone end to pontoons) Stabi 430. Pretty battered about. I sold my minter with 30 Yamaha in ‘06 and upgraded to my 509. The 430 was a brilliant little sea boat; easy to launch/recover, but 3 adults maxed it out room wise. To me that boat is worth under $10k, even if prices have gone up.

    I haven't had my eye on this particular part of the market, but a general observation from what I have seen (and I look often at everything between $60-200k as a form of escapism). Things have been a bit mental for trailer boats (and most other "toys") since covid, but they are starting to cool off. Asking prices are still beyond what most people would consider reasonable, and a few desperate souls are still paying through the nose for boats - but they tend to be well maintained and more desirable models. Something like an old stabi with a 2s tohatsu shouldn't be in high demand (unless it is a steal). Don't look at prices from last summer (being the peak) or even six months ago as an example of what that boat is worth now.

    At a guess, I would say around $5k. That being made up of $3k for the motor if it is new and in good condition, $1500 for the trailer and bugger all for the hull. My 2c

    Cant really argue with that.
    Like anything if it looks rough and neglected then it is rough and neglected.
    Nothing wrong with Tohatsu outboards though. A look under the cowling will tell its own story though.

    Yeah I'll revise my guess to around 5k , it must be smaller than I thought with only an 18hp on it

    Dorkus' valuation is the most realistic for what it's worth, maybe go up to $6k if you can't find any cracked welds or electrolysis(look in the anchor well and bilge sump those are two places where lost sinkers tend to cause damage).
    @Dorkus a 5.8m centre console Naiad with a 90hp Honda would be the perfect boat for you but maybe add a stabi supercab to the fleet for the odd trip to the kings.

    Dream boat that was ideal for that age and stage. Not a great family boat though, so unfortunately had to move it on for something with a little shelter - Would love to own another one day (maybe when I win lotto and buy a launch for the weekend trips).
