This is probably a question for the brokers but would appreciate a guesstimate of the installed cost of new thrusters and stabilizers are for a 58-63 MY.
Also curious haw much these add on's would increase boat value.

Cost of bow thrusters and stabilizers?

Re: Cost of bow thrusters and stabilizers?
Can't give you a guesstimate beyond, "a bunch", but I guarantee you they will add to resale value only a fraction of what they will cost to install.

Re: Cost of bow thrusters and stabilizers?
I got a great deal on a used/new Trac digital. About $18k for used but rebuild actuators and valves, all new electronics, touch screen etc. it s hard to put a number on the labor as it was done during the repower but between removing the old Vospers, reinforcing the hull and installing the new ones I’d say it was about 2 weeks. Since it was not done at regular yard rates I saved a lot of money
I had been told that a new stab system installed usually easily runs 50/60k
I don’t have any numbers on what it would cost to add a bow thruster...
I think the stabilizers are probably one of the few upgrades that will result in a significant value increase. Obviously not by the full amount but probably around 75% of the costsPascal

Re: Cost of bow thrusters and stabilizers?
Have a question for the MY folks.
The biggest thing in the sportfish world these days is adding a gyro stabilizer, how come the MY folks never mention them. Seems the pricing is relatively similar with the added advantage of using the gyro at anchor??CRICKET

Pretty old information, but adding a bow thruster to Aslan in 2006 was $10,000.

For that price you could tie four or five used Harleys on the aft deck, leave them running, and rev them up when you needed the gyro effect...
just kidding.

Re: Cost of bow thrusters and stabilizers?
Problem with gyros isn’t just the cost but the space. In most boats it s hard to find the space although the genny room of most older Hatteras MY probably has enough space In some cases they install two smaller gyros.

$110k for a gyro? Ouch!
I had heard the best place for a gyro on a MY is under the master stateroom bed. While they do work at anchor, I would not sleep well knowing there is a massive wheel spinning 100,000 rpm"s right under my pillow.
