TOPIC: 1978 Chrysler

1978 Chrysler 10 years 7 months ago #82394

I have a 1978 Chrysler Courier 154 HYDRO-VEE with a 70 horse Chrysler Skier outboard. Boat and engine have matching orange stripes. Boat is in good shape. Engine is very strong and runs great. No power tilt. Engine seems to be getting heavier as I get older. Any input about value?

Welcome aboard Dan. It's really hard for any of us to give you a "fair market value" as it depends on so many different variables. The condition of the rig in general, pics may help the gang give input. The bottom line is it's worth whatever you can get for her. (Don't mean to sound indifferent, please don't misunderstand.) Checking the local market for similar models sometimes helps, what part of the country/world are you located? Some areas (up north) boating season will be winding down soon. Better prices can usually be had at the beginning of the season.

Post some pics and I'm sure the gang will be glad to give their input. ;)

Looking for opinions on value. Because it is all Chrysler (boat and outboard) I think it is more than just an old boat. The boat is good shape and the engine runs strong. It has seen water about five times the last 15 years. Please see pictures in previous post.

Dan, unfortunately what Mark said is the sad truth. Looks like a gorgeous boat and I hope you got a bargain but if you want to sell it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. I sold a '59 big fin Herters for $3,800.00 that I thought should go for at least 5G's. Had it on EBay and that's all the nation thought it was worth. I had my '63 Century woody (avatar) on EBay for $15,000. and accepted a bid for $6,000, bidder still hasn't coughed up the cash yet and it's been over a week. The economy is taking a hit on toys so enjoy what you have, use it.

This is only my personal opinion but I think if you cleaned the boat top to bottom and got it looking like new, you might be lucky to get $2,000 for it.
