Im looking at a daycruiser and want to find the value of it so we dont get ripped off and pay too much.
Where can i find the value of it. I cant find it in the N.A.D.A. blue book, Help. :o
1974 Kona Daycruiser, i/o with a 350 chevy, new engine and new Volvo outdrive. Boat has just been re'wired and the trailer too. He's asking $4,000

Generally I/O's will bring more money . S/B are very common . The volvo drive is not the most desirable but they are everywhere .
Take a close look at the bottom . You probably wont see much in the way hook since the earlier boats were layed up pretty heavy and held up very well on trailers . Look to make sure it wasnt ran up on rocks or any kind of repairs .
Overall gel I'm sure needs to look good as well . Make sure you tow it to the ramp and that you like how the trailer looks and tows . A quik water test will make up your mind . If he has all the paper work to back up motor and drives claims and everything else looks good . $4000 sounds like a good deal to me .
As your lookin at it , make a mental check list of everything that you see iffy and deduct it from his asking price. Thats my .02
put up some pics too .

Thanks Omar,
Im not able to check it out myself, my father in law is looking at it, i guess it belongs to a friend of his and the guy just wants to get back what he just put into it. But i told him $3,000 and go from there. It needs some uphostery work, but everything else was just done at some shop in Corona.
I will get some pics up ;)

Sounds like your on the right track .

For what it's worth, Volvo outdrives are damn near indestructable. The few mphs you give up over a mercruiser (if any at all on this old of boat) are nothing compared to gains in dependability.
On the other hand, I think 4K is kinda high for one of the old 'pregnant guppy' cruisers that Kona and a few others built. But if you like it and can get it for closer to 3K, go for it. :)

Now you got me thinkin . I've never done any kind of research on the volvo outdrive other than people saying they dont like them . Was a big block an option in front of these ?
