Merit Merit 22 Lake Tillery
I own a Merit 22 and it’s currently going through some refitting. It’s in good shape but iit does have a crack here and there. I have a hard time finding information on Merits so I have no idea what they go for could any one give me some advice?

Sure... Do you want to sell it or just value it?
Sell it, create a listing on the boat and a sign on the bow - Boat for sale. Pick a number. $1,000 - $4,000 - $10,000. If some one comes up and says I' give you $XXX. you just found out how much it is worth to that person.

Value it. Choose a number you would be willing to sell it for . You will be very close to a number a Value Number.

Note what you Value the boat at and what someone is willing to pay you money for the boat rarely are next to each other on the number line.

It depends on the condition, equipment and the market area. Look for some comparisons, price it high but negotiable and see what kind of offers you get. Would help if you have a trailer in good condition, ready to roll.
