: I am looking at buying an old wooden boat to restore but have no clue as to assessing its value.
: 1) Does anyone know of a website or source that can help determine/calculate the value of an old boat?
: 2) Also any sources for fair market value for motors?
: 3) Who can best appraise a boat for insurance purposes?
Classic Boating and Wooden Boat are two publications that have classified advertising that can provide a lot of useful information regarding the "value" of the boat. I say "value" because an old boat is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I would also suggest looking at the NHACBM.ORG and Antiqueandclassicboats.com websites for listings.
