bass tracker

Question
my husband has a 1987 Bass tracker bass boat.  He wants to sell it, but i am having difficluty finding a blue book value for it.  I am not sure who manufactured it, any thoughts?

Answer
Hello Karen...thanks for selecting the undersigned to reply to your question. It sounds like the boat is built by Tracker.

However, every boat built in North America must have affixed to it a manufacturer's plate and a coast guard capacity plate, both of which will identify the name/location of the manufacturer. Usually, they are mounted at or near helm, or on the inside of the transom.

Also, on the upper righthand corner of the transom there's a serial number displayed on the outside, when viewing the boat from the back. Go online to the coast guard. They have a list of all boat manufacturers and the 4 or 5 designated letters which preceed the numbers on the Hull Identification Number. Those letters identify the manufacture. The last 2 figures will identify the year of manufacture.
