Does anyone know of a good place to research information about buying a boat. After looking around, I think we've pretty much got our hearts set on the Hunter 40.5. As first time buyers though, we don't have a good feel for what a reasonable offer for boat X with Y and Z equipment would be. Any links or friendly advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Blue book

N.A.D.A. has a web page that will give up to 5 values a day. Yacht World has a site that gives good asking price comps.

NADA Boat Values

Since my Credit Union uses NADA as their primary guide I've been checking potential candidates against their web site before going any farther. It's at WWW.NADA.Com, then select More NADA Values from the tool bar. Next select the manufacturer by first letter (H), then page down until you get to Hunter. Select Hunter, a year, then the model sizes that were offered that year. Lastly, scrool down to sailboat options and select appropriately. Note that many populay options are not listed in NADA so you'll have to factor a little bit and/or explain to the seller/lender. My C.U. uses average, but a high and a low price are shown for comparisons. These are just guidelines, of course. I found a 29.5 I really wanted, but the seller wanted almost $10K (about 20% !!) more that Average so I had to walk away from the deal. That should give you a pretty good Ball Park range. Good luck.
