The company that I work for have a number of boats one being an Avon SR6 which has not been used for a number of years. The boss has decided to sell it after the engines have been given a good service. Question is, what do you think a realistic price would be?
The tubes don't lose any air and have no patches or repairs but the hypalon has a few small wear marks at the bow.
The hull is probably the worst aspect of the boat. It has not had any major damage but in the past small chips and the scratches in the gel have been repaired and, in my opinion, repaired badly with non-matching gel coat (See attached pics.)
The engines are 2 stroke Mariner 90's with low hours and are currently being serviced by a Mariner dealership.
The trailer (Twin axle Indespension) is in fair to good condition.
The Mariners? Hard to say without age and history - but not a lot - maybe a couple of grand a side?
The SR6? Well, there's the rub. It's very clean, despite your concerns about the gel coat match. I understand they're quite desirable. IIWY, I'd crack on and do the deal before someone on here works out where it is!

Thanks Wilk. Unfortunately i'm not in a position to purchase the boat myself, i'm only trying to help my boss out by asking for a bit of advice on the forum. We genuinely don't know what to value it at. SR6's in reasonable condition are not that common so it's difficult to come up with a comparative price. Hence the request for help/advice.
In no way comparable to what you have but....I bought this SR6 for £1200 about 18 months ago. Twin Yam 60s. Had come straight off a ship so still in operational condition.
I reckon if you’re in no rush to sell & prepared to wait for the right buyer £8-£10k. Assuming there’re no horrors lurking in the transom or hull.

I bought my in great running condition with 60 twins , complete and functioning self righting equipment / electronics / nav lights etc for 5700 Pounds .
One on the workboat sales website sold for £6700. Looked to be in good nick.
