How Much is My Boat Worth?
Boat value is affected by a range of factors, chief among them age and condition. Send us detailed photos of your boat showing the condition of the boat’s interior and exterior, as well as the model and year. You can text us photos to (618) 632-6353 in O’Fallon, IL or (417) 272-1277 in Branson West, MO or email sales@copemarine.com . We base our offers off condition and NADA pricing guidelines. The final value of our offer will be made upon physical inspection of the boat.
What About My Loan?
If you have a loan on your boat and our offer is more than your loan payoff amount, you will get a check for the difference, and we will complete your loan payment. Make sure to bring your loan documents with you that clearly indicate your loan payoff amount. This is the quick, easy, and painless way to complete your loan and cash out your boat.
Can I Trade In?
Absolutely! The best way to get max value on your boat is to trade in on a new boat. It’s no secret that new boats are in short supply in these crazy times, but you can trade in for one of the many boats we have on the way.
