2forceful, you wouldn't think Magic sold so many boats because they're good looking boats would you.:idea: People don't always buy things because they're more practical or a better value, there's a reason why certain items become so popular. Looking at the two deck boats in the picture I can tell you right away which one I'd buy, and that's not a personal attack on you or any Cheeta owner, just my opinion.

hot damm, I think I figured out this picture post'n thing
only took a year,three key boards, one window, and a new beemer for the wife
Jezuz H.....
Last time I saw a face like that... was when I was 8 and the ol man just found out I got my sister to hold onto the plug wire whileI kicked over my XR-75..
At the risk of sounding like I'm using a bit of intellect or
common sense, those that aren't familiar with the NADA
book will be surprised to find that they don't use "sales"
data to get their figures like the Kelly Blue Book does
for cars and trucks. They ask what the NEW price is and
they depreciate a certain percentage for each year. Always the same percent for all companies. In other words, they
depreciate a Bayliner at the same rate as a Skater, Schiada,
Magic, Conquest, DCB and Baja.
Years ago when selling Conquest deckboats I had a banker
call me and rip me a new one. I had taken a deposit on a
1994 Top Cat deckboat with a sales price of $60,000. He
was shocked to see that the book on it at the time was about $18,000 and he thought I should be ashamed!
2Forceful is absolutely correct. When you trade something
in, the NADA book is right there to be found and used. When buying a used boat, the NADA book instantly becomes lost and is never to be found. That's because it
has nothing to do with reality and their numbers are always low. The smart boat builders inflate their numbers
when submitting them to the NADA people each year!
Unfortunately, the banks use it as a depreciation guide
when doing loans.
As for the current market value of a 2003 Magic deck with
normal wear and tear and 496HO. It's worth whatever
someone will pay for it! My guess is around $70,000 to
$75,000. I currently know of 2 for sale, a 2005 for $85,000
and a 2006 for $90,000.

Christ Sakes Keith, quit making sense would you! After all this is the "Sandbar" open social forum you know. NSF
NADA is no where close to perfect but if you can price your boat within the guide you will have a better chance of selling it and or financing it these days. I see more and more for sale ads for boats that are using the NADA prices to help push the sell. the boat trader has prices going from 72k-90k for a 2003-2007 Magic Deck but that doesn't mean they are selling for that price, however i doubt you will see any of these guys dropping their prices down to the 40's....at least not this year.
