Boat value

Question
I know that this is not your specialty, but I was hoping that you could point me in the direction of an expert.My Granfather has left me an old fishing boat ( bought in 1971 ) it has been used once and is in excellent condition and has the original owners manual.
It is a Ted Williams Super Game Fisher 1200, with a Ted Williams 7.5 hp motor.
The question is, doe's it have any collectable value, or is it just an old boat in great condition?
I appreciate your feedback


Answer
Dave,
Boats unlike real estate (homes)that appreciate in value, they depreciate in value. However in your case this boat if it is very good condition may have a much greater value than most others. I don't know of any Ted Williams clubs or collectors so I can't give you any idea of your boats value. I can suggest that you do a little mare searching on the internet for Ted Williams info on these boats. Good luck, keep in contact! let me know what you find out about this boat.
