Selling Price: 13-footer with newer engine in Massachusetts

Postby bdanforth » Mon Aug 25, 2025 10:43 am

Q1: what is a typical selling price for a c.1968 13-footer with a 2018 25-HP long-shaft engine that uses the four-stroke-power-cycle and is said to have less than 100-hours run time and is located in Marblehead, Massachusetts?

Q2: would a typical selling price be $6,500?

The hull is dry and been painted with AWLGRIP Stars and Stripes [BLUE H5161]. The hull has some dings and scrapes. The teak condition is good.

The long-shaft engine is mounted on the notched transom using an aluminum add-on mount.

The photograph shows an interesting situation: what was once a classic yacht tender, the Boston Whaler 13-footer, is moored between two inflatable small boats, which are now the classic yacht tender.

Also, that Massachusetts registration number (MS 15 PL ) looks like a really low number, indicating a boat originally registered a very long time ago.

I have seen some asking prices for 13-footers that indicate the present owners were mighty proud of their boats, so $6,500 does not seem out of the question, and the new four-stroke-power-cycle engine adds a lot of value to the hull.

Also the static trim on the boat looks very good, which is an indication that suggests the hull is dry--unless the photo was taken at low tide and the boats are all sitting on the seabed.
