TOPIC: Value for 1967 Merc and Tomahawk boat?

Posted this in the Mercury forum as well. Hoping for some help!

I inherited a 1967 Tomahawk boat (manufactured by Harley Davidson), which has a 1967 Kiekhaefer Mercury 650 outboard engine. The engine runs great and have video to show it. The boat is in good shape overall as well. I'd like to sell as it's a 4 seater and can not fit my entire family (4 children). Can anyone recommend a good asking price?

Hello mclm welcome aboard! I also live in Wisconsin, I would say your boat is worth at best $1200 to $1500 and that is on the high side. I purchased a 1967 merc 65hp about 4 years ago in mint condition from a guy in West Bend for $400 dollars if that helps you get an idea of market value. I have seen several tomahawk boats with the Harley history for sale and they seem to sit for sale for a very very long time on craigslist. I don't know if they finally sell or the add just expires. The biggest problem with these boats is the shall we say lack of style. Of course this is just my personal opinion I have been proven wrong before. I hope this helps

mclm,

WELCOME ABOARD. - NICE rig, too.

yours, satx

Looks to be in great condition could you just mount two more seats?

Boat looks great. Other than the facts about appearance and the motor runs good there is still the problem of age. A boat that is almost 50 years old is just an old boat. Unless there is something really special about it that sets it apart from others. Jetflite might be a bit high on price. I'm thinking more in the $8-900 range. Hate to say this but it's just a plain Jane boat with a regular trailer. Price it higher if you want and "negotiate" a price. Know how much you really want and settle for something a little higher.
Put a "for sale" sign on it with $1300. or reasonable offer.
All said, you know what is said about opinions.

Thanks all - I appreciate the input!!
