Ocean Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I've just decided I need to sell my 2002 Hewes Bonefisher 18. It has about 500 hours on a good running 115 Yamaha 4 stroke. New Garmin Echomap 40 Series combo. 80 lb. thrust Minn Kota Riptide hand control trolling motor, 8 foot Power Pole, Jack Plate, separate on board chargers for the 2 house batteries and trolling motor batteries. I removed the live well pump, because it leaked and I didn't use it. The trailer and tires are fine, but some of the bolts and brackets on the trailer need replacement as they are rusting. What is a fair price for me and a buyer. In no hurry to sell, but want to be fair. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Id ask 13500 ish and take anything over 11. It looks pretty clean and well equipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Thanks. I had the hull done new in that light green when I bought it, still like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shallowminded6 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hard to tell from just one pic. That is a pretty sought after hull and a good motor. My first thought was more along 15k for one in better than average shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 I think Linesider is setting you up for a deal! Agree with Shallow minded - a lot depends on condition, what you've done, etc, but mid teens seems more reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 How about I play Devil's advocate here! Advertise at or around the asking price that Shallowminded advised, BUT if you only get what Linesider said, don't be disappointed. We are coming out of the season and the boat and motor ( i assume) is going to be 18 years old in a few months. But as has been stated for a long time here is; The boat is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it! If you can find that guy who has posters of an 18 bonefisher in his room and has one as his screen saver, you can expect top dollar!

Ocean Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Muddy, I take all possibilities into consideration. This is why I was hoping to get more responses .They have been helpful. Sellers always think the product is worth more than buyers. I don't really want to store it until Spring, but we'll see. I guess I'll ask around 15 and see how it goes. Need to contact a couple of interested parties around here first. Thanks y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shallowminded6 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 If the trailer repairs are a minor cost, might be worth fixing. Keeps from having a repair list prior to use. Will help you get the dollar amount up since it will be more convenient. (My opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh I've got enough boats as it is right now lol, North Carolina market and the season really winding down (especially up there). Cant remember but I think an 02 would be a carbed 4 stroke but I can never remember those years right. Either way it's a nice boat, just trying to stay realistic. I don't think asking 14900 will price you out of the market, but I expect it to sell in the 11-13500 range. This is just my opinion of course, and I've been wrong before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Posted October 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Appreciate the input. I’d keep the boat, but long story, short is I either keep the Hewes or my Young 20. Since I have to cross big water occasionally it’s no contest. Someone will get a good boat here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paintman77 Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 I assume this sold before actually going up for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Posted December 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 No I decided to donate it to CCA N.C. for fundraising next year. Thanks for the inquiry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
