Hello, I've spent a lot of time on the water in my life, canoeing, kayaking, large and small power boats, large and small sailboats. Now I am considering a small trawler, perhaps to snowbird between NY and Florida, or even try the loop, gulp. Can anyone suggest a good way to determine boat values online? NADA seems unreliable on trawlers. I see a boat that looks nice, advertised for 30k, then I look up the value and the book states 12k. The book seems to work okay for other boats but not for trawlers, (or does it?). I like to know I'm in the ball park regarding my own wallet and the reasonable value before traveling to see a boat. Thanks folks.
