Some of the 17's I've seen advertised lately should take a page from Tucson
23's book. Asking prices are too high if your Montgomery is on the market more
than 2 weeks. I offered $13,000 cash for a 2005 model M17 in June that later
sold in August for $11,000.
The average year model for 17's currently advertised on the net is 1980. The
average ASKING price is $6,042. The average selling price is $3,472. The
average NADA for a 1980 M17 is $2,058 to $2,297 (not including trailer or
motor). The BUC Valu price for a 1980 M17 $3,850 to $4,450.
M23's were never popular--nothing like the M17. And, the Montgomery market is
quite narrow. Not everybody wants one. There are certainly better values if
you're just looking for a good quality tailerable sailboat. A used Com-Pac or
Nimble are way better values than a Montgomery--they just don't have the
"look". Hunter and Catalina also make respectable boats and because of thier
numbers are outstanding values.
If you really want to sell that M17 today and you want cash and a fair
offer--send me an email. I'll answer within 24 hours. But, be prepared to
NEGOTIATE!
