What's a 2007/2008 350 worth these days?

YYZRC

@mfritz do you mind sharing what you paid for your 350?

There are a few for sale that have been up for a while, I think it is lowball season...

You can’t find a decent boat for sale by me. Top dollar season!

YYZRC

Give it two more weeks. Panic will set in for all those newbies who are realizing their boat loan continues even when the boat is on the hard!

Just bought this 2007 Rinker 350 for $85k.

Boats are starting to hit the market, I've got a couple friends looking and things are starting to hit. It's a trickle, but they are there....

Congratulations @cme4brain ! Beautiful boat. Are those Bravo 2 drives?

Dream_Inn

Very nice @cme4brain. There is a 350 on my dock.  It's a great boat and nice layout.

yes.  I sort of wish they were Bravo 3 drives though, but I will live with it.

You are kind.  Rinker, despite not being a "premium" boat builder, seems to have the best layout and use of space.

Looks great!!! I dont thing B2 are any better/worse than B3. I've only bad B3 and sure the twin prop thing is cool, but you've got to baby them with regard to corrosion wheras I dont think the B2 has that issue and I've never heard a bad thing said about B2 performance over B3. Enjoy the boat, you've still got a lot of weekends ahead to have fun!

B3 is probably better for single engine. No prop walk and supposedly helps with acceleration/planing. But with twins prop walk shouldn't be an issue.

I think the earlier Bravo III’s had corrosion issues. I don’t know the cut off but the newer years don’t have that issue.

Just got advised by a broker that the 350 in New York went for “low 80s”. Still a bit above my price range.

First one I've ever seen for sale with the fishing package!

The fishing package is nice, I like the doors better than the whole transom door lifting. 

YYZRC

Did you not do the longer struts on the transom door?  Total game changer.  I love mine now.

I haven’t done it. I bought new struts last season, I should’ve bought the longer ones to do the mod.

YYZRC

One of the best and least expensive mods I did.  Great winter project

Ad says the 350 has a Bal Thruster.

Sounds cool......whatever that is?

Could be but if there is a cutoff it’s not 2007/2008, would be post 2010 when they started to build boats again.

I have never seen a fishing set up on a Rinker, very interesting.  I want the Bal thruster, whatever it is.

Bow thruster. 

I figured that is what they meant, but a BAL thruster sounds cool.  Also, there is no typical bow thruster joystick on the pictures of the dash.  Could be different.

YYZRC

The bow thruster appears to be original equipment Lewmar, the joystick is above the ignition switches on the "wood" panel.
