I've had several dealers nearby tell me that NADA and similar value databases do not apply to a boat used on lakes in our region ... these NADA values tend to be low...based on boats from the South...like Florida...used in salt water....hard hours. Therefore , local usage being less because of the short season, and use only in fresh water, make the local offering worth more!! Therefore....better usage...higher than average prices...in many cases in the tens of thousands of dollars on boats like Formula, Sea Ray, Chris Craft, Cobalt, etc.
