What is my VTX worth?

How much is my boat worth?

This is a 2009 Wakesetter VTX (wake hull) 320 LCR engine with power wedge. This boat has not been put in the water since the dealer water tested. Hour meter shows .5 hours. Yes that's "point five hours. I personally have never been in this boat. It has been under my boat shed since the day I brought it home. Options are Malivue, swivel racks, cover, stainless glove box, dripless shaft, chrome pylon upgrade, bow ballast. This boat has no stereo and has a single battery. I had planned to have one installed, but have not done so. I ordered it with the Illusion X instead of XS tower. Boat sits on a 2007 Boatmate tandem axle trailer. I am the original owner of the trailer. It's not a 2009 b/c I traded a 2007 VTX in on this boat and had no need to update the year on the trailer. Boat is the one pictured in my Avatar. Seriously, what's it worth?

I just picked up a 2008 holdover VTX today from my dealer. Paid $38,000 for it with the 340 monsoon and a single axle DHM trailer. It also does not have a radio at this time. With yours being a year newer and having malivue, I would estimate it to be worth around $50,000.

I think it is hard to compare a 2008 to the 2009, not that 2008 aren't great boats (I also just bought mine in Sept), but just the model year difference makes a big difference in the price. Add the Malivue and the fact that you have almostt all the other options I would think it would be worth more to the right buyer.

jaycoxamalibu, what options does your 2008 have on it and what kind of hours? That sounds like an incredible price.

I have to ask... why are you wanting to sell a brand new boat? Don't answer if it's personal.

I have been looking at both '07 and '08 VTX leftovers. Based on what I've been quoted, I'd say yours is worth $45k max.

To be honest, I think you'd struggle to sell it even at that price. Take it from somebody who's in the market right now... there are just so many boats for a buyer to look at. It's overwhelming. I am seeing the same boats listed for six months that seem to be priced very aggressively, but never sell.

Sorry to be "Debbie Downer." I just thought you might appreciate a buyer's perspective.

Thanks for the comments guys. I do realize it's a buyer's market right now for everything, not just boats. I won't get into my rationale for wanting to sell at this time. I will say, however, that selling the boat would be nice, but I'm not stupid or desperate at this time. With that being said, I will entertain an offer (reasonable, of course).

I will do an even out trade for on 01 SLXi in great shape. Whistling.gif I will even deliver the SLXi to you free of charge.

Serously, I wish I were in the market for a new boat. Love the VTX!
