- 1970 Willard 36 Trawler
Nothing to do with trawlers, but since a good many of you have boating experience that spans many facets, I thought I'd ping the TF Bigger Brain with a question.
A good friend of mine near me in St Pete area of Florida was flooded in Hurricane Helene and is moving out of Florida. I'm thinking of buying his Parker 21-foot Center Console but have no idea what it's worth. I'll keep it for a few years and want to be able to sell fairly quickly without losing too much in the transaction.
How are these things typically valued? How do you sell one when the time comes? Craigslist? Broker lot? Is it still a 10% commission for smaller boats like these? Is the market softening like it is for larger boats? I just have no idea what is a fair deal.
Thanks in advance for input -

- 2010 Parker 21SE used as a day boat, not much fishing.
- Original 150hp Yamaha threw a rod at 680 hours 2-years ago and was replaced with a 2006 Yamaha 250hp with 375 hours (450 hrs now). He runs at WOT unless in no-wake zone which I guess had something to do with a thrown rod. QUESTION - what is the lifespan (in hours) of a typical outboard?
- Full Simrad EVO electronics with radar
- No trailer - always kept on a lift.
- My friend purchased from his brother 7-years ago. I believe his brother had it for about 5-years.
