I am planning to sell my 2003 C-Dory with a 90hp Honda 4 Stoke and a custom made aluminum trailer. I has a GPS but is not equipped with a kitchen. 300 hours on the Honda?
 
Go to NADA Gudes for Boats.
This will give you a starting point on price.
Some sell for more and
Come sell for less.
 
If you find a C-Dory for sale at the NADA price, run do not walk, to buy it. Better yet, tell ME about it.

(The NADA guide will severely under value your boat.)

Click on the forums and scroll down until you see the C-Dory Marketplace and the MarketPlace Reference. Browse through some of those threads. That should give you a good idea of the price to list the boat at.

The NADA and other reference guides are severely under priced for our C-Dorys, as has been discussed before. (They're based on a scheduled depreciation rate, not actual dollar selling amounts!)

To get a better idea of your boat's value through comparison, use the Marketplace Reference here on this site. Be aware, however, that the prices there are asking prices, not selling prices, so take that into consideration.

If you want someone here to give you a guess on the value, we'll need some photos and a complete list of the equipment on the boat.

Much of the equipment will be factory supplied items that come on any new boat, but the additional items, depending on what they are, their age, and how technically outdated they may or not be, have a good deal of affect on the price.

Once you have a good idea of the price range, you might start a bit high and then come down a bit every so often (say 2 weeks to 30 days), until you find a buyer.

A good list of equipment, its age, and good boat exterior and interior photos can go a long way towards helping sell a boat. Trailer too!

Also, your time frame, it terms of urgency to sell, can affect how you approach the sale in terms of pricing.

God Luck!

Basically agree with what's been said above. A note is that in the complete list of equipment, one thing I often see that is unclear is something like "Garmin chartplotter." Electronics are expensive and age relatively quickly. So there is a big difference between models. Thus it is very helpful to say "Garmin 740S chartplotter," "Icom M506 radio," XYZ depth sounder, etc. I see a lot of ads that say something like "has VHF, chartplotter, and sounder," and that's just not enough info for most folks these days.

I bought my 2002 with a full set of 2002-vintage electronics, so it's not necessarily a problem. But, I knew just which models they were, and how much they did/didn't add to the price. Was perfect for me because I was able to pay less, have units that worked for the time being, and then upgrade to suit myself.
 
Not a lot of help on the price, although good suggestions on marketing. The low end of prices would be in the 25,000 range up to about $30,000, a lot depending on gear. A fully fitted boat with newer power (injected engine), could be as much as 40,000. But that would be full camper canvas, windlass, refer, and new full electronics. What do you mean by no kitchen? Is it a commuter, with no sink and a bench seat, or is it a Angler with short cabin. What other gear is aboard. What is condition? Always post photos.
