Small drift boat

[Phil Lilley]

This is a drift boat owned by a local guy who recently passed. His wife asked me to sell it for her. I don’t know much about it… I thought someone might know what it’s worth.

Today's market on Facebook, 20k, maybe.  But probably alot less.

Seriously, there is alot of stuff there.  Drift boats draw a certain crowd that put alot of  money into them.  Its a nice looking boat with lots of extras.  And the market is high on everything because you can't get new, its in short supply. There is $300 in tires at today market on the trailer.

I have never looked at the drift boats personally or was interested in them.  But it looks mint.  Never seen one with a canopy, wonder how that works?

Looks like a regional hybrid design drift skiff/power boat. Who made the hull? Where was it made? Michigan maybe? Might be worth towing it back to where it came from if you want top dollar.

IMO that boat would be perfect for the NFoW.  You could get under Mckee and patrick bridge easily.  Fishing two would be hard in that boat though.

$20k!?   No kidding?    It’s aluminum though.  I thought the plastic ones pulled in the high dollars?

I was thinking maybe $5k for a guy who wants a solo drift boat.  Not sure how many of those guys are out there.

About the hull.  Aluminum is some rock sticking stuff.

well it is not a Stealthcraft which are made in Michigan. Tops maybe $6500 and that might be stretching it. need to know the brand.

Hard?  Not with you in the boat.  You could stand in the bow on that anchor holder and deployment thingie.

Seen some 10 year old Blazers bring 13-15K on Fbook.  They disappear, assume someone buys them.  Good solid 5k boats before Covid hit.

But, look at all the stuff in that kit and price it out in todays prices.  Outboards, trolling motors, boats, trailers, and even the tires are double what they were a year ago.
