QUESTION: Fair market value for a vessel
 

Greetings:

I am trying to help a friend sell a catamaran, and am trying to
determine fair market value.

Can someone review this description, and suggest a reasonable asking
price?

Hobie Catamaran, 16' 84 Sunrise Edition;
Double trapeze;
Hasn't been up in a couple of years - may be some parts absent;
Trailer good (one tire isn't great); Tack box not in great shape;
Stored inside until 5 years ago;
Dirty but tramp in good shape - new ropes 3 years ago.

Thanks Much!

Nadaguides lists used prices for Hobie Cats going back to 1971:

They don't list a "Sunrise" for 1984, though.

These boats are known for being junk. Given the shape, its worth about
$900.
