It’s worth what someone will pay for it :)

an ‘02 hull and engine will have the value associated with the GW brand name. Engine I wouldn’t put a huge amount of value to.

imo probably in the range of:
hull and equipment - $10-20k
Engine - maybe up to $2-4k
Trailer - maybe up $2-4k depending on condition and options like SS brakes.

if everything is truly mint, turnkey, and you aren’t in a rush to sell I’d start pretty high to not leave money on the table, maybe even list at like $40k or even more, and gauge the market - it’s a sellers market for the past two to three years and it’s at the beginning of the season. I just think the older hull with an older engine wouldn’t fetch too much. Will depend on level of maintenance- if the fuel tank needs replacement soon, if there are any issues with electrical, if it has fancy gadgets, if everything is fully functional. Also where in the country you are and level of supply of comparable boats. There’s plenty of older hulls that still fetch big prices, but usually through a dealer providing a warranty for the engine and financing options.

Thanks for the information. I am in south Jersey and there is a shortage of good used boats. Everything works and I have no problems at all with this boat.

I’d cross post it on Craigslist, fbook marketplace (and this website) pretty high if in no rush to sell. If you went ahead and got a survey for the boat you may be tapping into a wider geographic market, but usually the buyer would bear the cost of a survey. Take a good inventory of what you’re selling - electronics, equipment, hardtop, etc and list it out in the posting. Serious buyers will come to you if you have good quality pictures and it’s turnkey ready for the water. Stock market still high for sellers. Don’t expect to replace it with a similar boat though. I’d always rather put the boat in the hands of someone that could appreciate it - maybe someone would love to inherit it from you and then maybe you’d get an occasional ride.
