I guess there is no easy way to dance around this subject, but the divorce dance I've been doing for the past 3 1/2 years has come to an end as the music has stopped. With that, I find myself in the uncomfortable position of mediation and trying to decide what's worth what and what's fair before a judge does that for me.
So here is the question... in this market, how does one go about determining ACV on a couple of old Hatts?
This is not going to be a forced sale situation, but I need to come up with realistic figures. Feel free to answer here, but PM's are always good. Given this is a public forum, they might actually be better. Emails are always good too.
Thanks.

Re: Determining Actual Cash Value
Get ahold of a broker you trust and get actual sale prices for boats similar to yours (year, model and condition.)
That's the closest thing you're going to get to "Actual Cash Value" IMHO.http://www.denninger.net - Home page with blog links and more

Re: Determining Actual Cash Value
Call Weinstein & Fluxgold. When I got divorced, the ex was entitled to half the storage, insurance, and improvements made to the boat AND house for the 6 years we were married. I owned the house and boat prior to the wedding. Pre marital property here. She was also good for 1/2 of my 401k for six years as well...
She opted for option #3 and just getting out PERIOD. I had some dirt on her that she didnt want to surface. It cost me ZERO. rebel

Re: Determining Actual Cash Value
I know it sound perverse, but, might be a good idea to get her lawyer to come up with his valuation, then, you can spring real values on him later after you do real due diligence, if his value is really high, let her have the boats .......and that becomes part of cash settlement value......worth a looksee.....

Floating, running, original unmolested 58 Tri Cabin 1975 in Vero Beach "Miss Sue B II" sold/closed in May for $48,500. Its posted on soldboats. You can do the math on what it's worth with a bad engine.

Re: Determining Actual Cash Value
I like the idea of inflating the value, then giving them to her as part of the settlement. You keep the cash and marketable securities and use that to buy another boat. With prices this low, you should be able to get just what you want.

Re: Determining Actual Cash Value
What I want is just out of boating, at least for now. My business is dead and I have no business owning a large boat. I am fully aware that the actual cash value of anything is what somebody is willing to pay at the point you need to sell. The way I see it, I'll come up with some numbers (that one from Eric hurt), and put them on the table. There is a local broker who I have known personally for over 25 years, so maybe he can help too. If she or her attorney think they are worth more than that, then I will be happy to have her own one or both of them along with the expense of having them just sit. As I told her, until they sell, they are liabilities, not assets. That only fuels the fire.
I can't seem to make the wife understand that I didn't overpay for these boats, and that the market has simply crashed. The same would have happened had we bought a beach condo in Florida at a smoking price only to find it is worth 40% of what we paid for it in today's market. The trick is not to sell in this market as to avoid a large, guaranteed loss. The way I see it, if something was worth to us what we paid for it at the time, we should just keep it and use it as was intended rather than second guessing the purchase. Unforntunately, divorce changes such logic.Randy Register - Kingston, TN
