Does anyone know of a guide that will give an idea as to the value of a used boat such as NADA and Bluebook has for automobiles?

NADA does boats, motors and trailers as well, not very well mind you...

Thanks, I noticed that NADA makes an attempt at boat pricing, but their crtieria is pretty vanilla and leaves little opportunity to be specific.

FWIW I have found the various used boat sites were helpful in providing a ball park range. With boats, it does depend if it is a dealer/broker or a private seller and how much you want the boat. If a visual inspection has occurred (using Jeff's excellent checklist) a post here will help you get within $500. Remember to obscure any details to hide it from any whalejacker. :D

NADA is perfect if you live in a state and county that taxes you on the value of your boat. :)
