Questions about the 1987 Post 46 Sportfisherman

How much is a 1987 Post 46 Sportfisherman worth?

A 1987 Post 46 Sportfisherman is worth about £93,500 in today's asking prices, most likely between £81,500 and £110,500. Based on 14 comparable boats built between 1984 and 1990, 5 of them in 1987.

What do 1987 Post 46 Sportfishermans ask?

The 5 boats built in 1987 that we observed asked a median of £85,000 in today's prices. Each boat is counted once, at its latest asking price; these are asking prices, not sale prices.

Is a 1987 Post 46 Sportfisherman cheaper than a 1988?

Yes, usually by about 6.1%: each newer build year of this model asks that much more, all else equal. The gap between individual boats is often larger, because hours, VAT status and where the boat lies move the price too.

How much will it lose next year?

About £5,500, or 5.7%, if the market holds where it is. That rate is fitted on 23 boats across the whole run, not a forecast of the market.

Are these sold prices?

No. Every figure here is built from asking prices seen on public listings. Boats usually sell for less than they ask; we do not yet measure by how much, so we never print a sold price as ours.
