2006 Humber Destroyer

Any idea of the value of a Destroyer 5.3 might be a 5.5! With Suzy 90, 4 stroke on trailer. All appear to be 2006. Not much in the way of electronics. Looks well used but holds air no idea of hours but leisure use only. Friend is looking at it but it seems overpriced!! Thanks in advance.

probably a lot depends on the hours on the outboard and condition of the tubes

No patches in tubes. Just concerned how much longer a near 14 year old engine will last no matter what hours!! My last Suzy 70 only lasted 12 years before internal corrosion killed it....low hours well serviced too!

I think you’ve just answered your question.

Everything depends on the way it’s been looked after - if a quality rib has been washed down and covered with the engine flushed after every use with regular servicing, it will last for a very long time.
I sold my SR4 last year with tubes from about 1992 in perfect order. The only thing is finding one that has been loved!!

Oh, yeah I did have to fit a new engine, but it was old when I bought it!
