This is the summer to put my 42c up for sale. I'm going to retire in July and would like to be ready to buy when the right Hatteras comes along, unless it's Aslan then I know it's the right boat. Mr Clarkson just has to clean it up a bit. Anyway I'm asking the collective what is a good asking price. It's a 1973, fresh rebuilt cummins 903's naturals, very good paint and interior. I'm reasonable and fair, I know it's an old boat but lovingly maintained with receipts. My number is 80,000 but am open to offers. This is not a listing, just a test the water question for people that know these boats and watch the market more than I. Let me have it now, I'm ready.

Re: A good starting price
I looked at A LOT of boats for sale before I found my 52C. The really nicely kept 42s seemed to always ask $89,900. Those needing a lot of attention were $50k to $60k. The same goes for Post and Viking - the competition.
If she's really ready to go, without doing anything functionally important, $89k is a bargain. That's what a 25' center console costs these days!
Obviously, someone's way better off buying a nicely kept 42 for 85k than buying a slob for $55k. The only problem is many people don't realize this until they've renovated a boat and had to replace all the expensive bits.

Mr. Clarckson you have my apologies, I did not realize you were going to redecorate for me before the transaction.

Re: A good starting price
Gentlemen, Walt needs to trade his boat to RAC. Walt wants a bigger boat, and RAC has run out of projects and things to clean up and improve. RAC is bored. No matter how nice Walt's boat is, RAC will find ways to improve it. So the only real question is this: how much money does Walt need to give RAC, plus Walt's boat, to become the new owner of Aslan?

Re: A good starting price
Thanks Ryan, I have a whole file of photos that are minimized and easy to send. PM me an e mail address and they will be on the way.
As to Aslan, I don't want to interfere with Mr. Clarckson's improvements, let him go at it! If I end up moving it south maybe a trade can be worked out somewhere around Charelston? At least a lunch!
