Value Your Trade
Ready for a new adventure on the water? Whether you’re looking to upgrade to the latest wakeboat, switch to a luxurious pontoon, or simply get a newer model, Island Lake Marine makes the transition seamless and financially savvy.
Trading in your current boat is one of the most convenient and stress-free ways to get into a new or used boat. There are no private party negotiations, no strangers coming to your home, and no advertising costs. Just a straightforward process that lets you put the value of your old boat directly toward your new one.
And in Colorado, trading in offers a significant tax advantage; you only pay sales tax on the difference between your new boat's price and your trade-in value, saving you a substantial amount of money.
The Island Lake Marine Trade-In Advantage
We understand that you want to get the best possible value for your boat, and we're committed to making that happen. Our experienced appraisal team, with a deep understanding of the local Colorado market, will provide you with a fair and honest valuation.
Why trade in with us?
- Convenience: We handle all the paperwork, title transfers, and DMV requirements. It's a quick, one-stop process.
- Tax Savings: As a licensed dealer in Colorado, we help you take full advantage of the state's trade-in tax benefit.
- Expert Appraisal: Our team considers all key factors, including your boat's condition, service history, and the current market demand in the Front Range and Rocky Mountain region.
- Safety & Trust: Avoid the risks and hassles of a private sale. We provide a professional and secure transaction.
How We Value Your Boat
Our valuation process is simple, transparent, and fair. We take into account all the critical factors that determine a boat's true market value.
- Make, Model, and Year: The foundation of any valuation.
- Engine Hours: We assess the life and wear on the engine.
- Overall Condition: We look for cosmetic and structural integrity, from the gelcoat and upholstery to the engine and electronics.
- Maintenance & Service History: A well-documented service history proves a boat has been well-cared for, which can significantly increase its value.
- Upgrades & Features: We factor in any valuable additions like sound systems, wake-shaping plates, upgraded propellers, or new electronics.
- Market Demand: We use real-time market data to understand what similar boats are selling for in the Colorado region, not just what they're listed for.
