    What general location?   First stop may be online classified search... try one like OODLE.COM   punch in boat name and set it for 500 miles or so and see if anything similar to yours shows up.  That would get you into the right ballpark. Then you can begin to add or subtract based on special equipment, condition, motor age etc. 
    There are a few boat surveyors that may be able to provide an estimate but it would probably cost a fee.  Boat retailers may also be able to direct you. 
    I don't know if there is a Kelly Blue Book type site for boats but I'm sure someone else can chime in with that info.

    Got the itch for a bigger boat little over a month ago.  I punched up NADA to get the value of my Lund.  Now I'm depressed about the value and content with it's size.

    Funny thing about boats, and pretty much anything else you want to sell... They are worth what someone is willing to pay and nothing more...
     
    Doesn't matter what NADA, BoatUS or Boattrader says, they will give you an idea of what someone thinks your boat is worth... but are they willing to pay it?
     
    Personally, I'd like to find a 6 year old 25' hard top with a blown inboard or IO on the cheap... 

    Curiosity killed the cat, but for awhile I was a suspect.

    Exactly.  NADA says one thing and then I find a comparable boat at a dealer and they're asking $6k more.  Tough choice to make as to what to list it for.  Too high and no calls.....too low and you're out some $.
