Trying to figure out what my boat is worth. I have 3 choices right now: a) sell it, b) pay for storage (not happening), or c) keep it at my house and get harrassed all winter with threats of eviction.
I have stored my boats for years at home either in the driveway or near the back of my lot. I had the boat in the driveway and then the snow hit So, I had been parking in the street during the day since I am at work all night. I don’t have 4-wheel drive so I had to have a guy come over today to move the boat in the yard. But, that will only bring another round of threatening letters from the owners of the park again.
Paying $600/year for storage is out of the question. I did that for 2 years and it was cut out of the budget.
So, it either has to go soon or ????
The boat is a 1987 Lowe Big Jon, extra wide/extra deep
Motor is a 2002 Merc 25 hp 4 stroke. It was brand new when I bought it in 2007. The dealer had to set it up for me the day of the sale.
Trailer is your typical Shorelander bunk
Minnkota with auto pilot bow mount 55# thrust
Hummingbird 595c with Navionics Premium North chip
I would hate to have to sell this boat since it has been way too reliable and has been the best set-up I have owned (I have owned waayyy to many boats over the years )
The versatility of this little rig is also unbeleivable. I fished, duck watched, and trapped out of it with now problems.
But, since storage is getting to be a pain, I feel I am left with no choice. I highly doubt I will ever find another package that I will have as much trust in as I do this one.
Is $3500 too much to ask for this set-up?
