I have a 2008 Zodiac by West Marine inflatable (RIB 310) that is in excellent condition and a 2004 9.9 hp 2 stroke Mercury outboard that a friend is interested in buying. We are both having a difficult time finding comparables to help establish a value. Does anyone have any resources that might be helpful?
Thanks.
Craig's List.
No, I don't get a commission.
If I were the buyer I would want to know the service history on the outboard. At 11/12 years old the lower end would be due for a rebuild.
What does I have "a 2008 Zodiac by West Marine inflatable " mean? Is it a Zodiac or a West Marine brand boat? Is it Hypalon or PVC?

My understanding is that the raft was made by Zodiac but sold and branded by West Marine. It is PVC.

Putting on the broker hat, "Established values" always amuse me. There's only one valid value -
What, on any given day, a given buyer is willing to pay--while at the same instant the seller is willing to accept.
Owners always say "On Yacht World........" and I say, "Yep that's the 'no sale' price -- what you tell the Admiral that y'all can get -- when she wants to sell and you don't." :rolling

I bought a used 2014 west marine 310 inflatable last year. Also bought an 8 hp Tohatsu so I'm a little familiar with the market. I'd say your 2008 WM 310 is worth about $700-$800. The 9.9 merc would be $800-$1000.
