[quote=Wolfman]OK maybe I exagerate but you can get a good 1990 Hobie 16 for less than $4000 used and you could buy a brand new one one for about $16000 right now and the used one won't be much different than the brand new one(i.e. boats don't wear out the way cars do).
But some examples (I admit the prices are a little higher than $4000, but I did say I exagerated and these are WICKED boats for the price):
The Cathouse is selling a 2003 F18 for under $6000.
There is a 2001 Mystere 4.3 in the want ads here for $3600.
Catsailor has a 2004 F18 for $7500
There is 2006 Hobie 16 for sale on the HobieCat.com for $6000.
2003 Hobie FX one for $7000 on sailboatlistings.com
Lots of 2001-2004 Hobie Waves in the $1000-$3000 range (not really fair because the boat costs under $10,000 brand new.
So say average of about $7000 for a post 2000 boat that you won't race. About $4000 for a post 1990 boat and less for anything pre 1990. And the fact that there are many pre 1985 boats still around that are in pretty darn good condition (you can't say the same about cars).
So for a 1982 P18 I would aim to get $2000 for it even with some soft hulls. If you can find a knowledgable buyer and aren't in a hurry you can likely get $1500+ for it.
