Wanted Tiara 3100, 3300


Recommended Posts

Looking to buy a Tiara 3100, 3300 or possibly 3600 Open, late 1980’s early to mid 1990’s, located in or within reasonable shipping distance of the great lakes region. I just sold my boat so I am a cash buyer willing to take immediate possession! My offer will be based on Nada Boat Value Guides http://www.nadaguides.com/Boats  and will be subject to a marine and or engine survey. Preference will be given to low hour, well maintained and or fresh water boats. If you have one of these, and want to sell NOW reply to me with your asking price along with some details and we can go from there.

Good luck in your search. I found plenty on yacht world and yachttrader. Type in your zip and search from there. Bought ours in September. Beautiful boats. Just starting to rig ours now.

In my experience with shopping bigger lake boats, the price is not consistent with book value when it's a clean fresh water boat. Salt boats more so, but your pay a premium for a clean fresh water boat in the Great Lakes particularly. IMO but it's usually worth it. Good luck

Thanks Patriot.  Thats almost 600 miles from me.  Prefer to shop around the great lakes region for now.

Planning a trip to Ohio next weekend to look at a couple.  I'm looking at boats that are between 23 and 30 yeas old.  That means extra caution on my part.  When I see 3100's in the low $20's on the east coast and down south and in the upper $50's in the north its hard to justify the extra cash.  $2.50 a mile to ship it.  There must be salt water boaters who properly maintain their boats.  I've searched the forums.  Tiara's have several issues that can be checked out.  Do diligence is the key.   If risers and manifolds recently replaced on a salty and every thing else has been well maintained and checks out, I'd consider a road trip. At the end of the day I'd likely pay extra for fresh water boat close to home but not $20,000 to $30,000 more.
