1976 Pearson 30 Sailboat
- Fair market value
- $4,500 - $8,000
- Retail price new
- $22,000
The Pearson 30 is a respected coastal cruiser known for durability. The asking price of $6,000 is fair given the condition described. The primary value-add here is the recent haul-out and bottom paint (July 2023), which saves a buyer $2,000-$3,000 in immediate maintenance costs. However, the boat is equipped with an Atomic 4 gas engine; while the seller claims it is excellent, these are less desirable than diesel engines and cap the resale value. The ad has been up for 4 months, indicating the market is slow or the price is slightly high for a gas-engine boat in that area, providing significant leverage for negotiation.
