What actually determines what your boat is worth
Current asking prices show you where the market is starting. These are the specifics a broker or buyer will weigh to decide where your boat lands inside that range.
- Year, model, and configuration. Layout, options, and how your specific model compares to what else is publicly listed right now.
- Actual engine package and hours. Brand, horsepower, number of engines, hours, rigging age, and any remaining factory or extended coverage.
- Documented service history. Records for maintenance, lower-unit service, and any repower give buyers confidence and hold up through survey.
- Condition and cosmetics. Gelcoat, upholstery, canvas, bilge, and overall presentation, plus how the boat has been stored.
- Electronics, options, and trailer. Display size and age, radar, autopilot, livewells, and whether a matched trailer is included.
- Location, logistics, and survey findings. Where the boat is, what it costs a buyer to move it, and what a survey and sea trial turn up.

Common Questions
About the appraisal tool.
- How accurate is the free boat appraisal?
- The tool builds a range from current public for-sale listings of comparable boats, so it reflects asking prices rather than confirmed sale prices. Treat it as a starting point: condition, actual engine hours, documented service, electronics, and equipment can move the real number in either direction. For a number tied to the Alabama Gulf Coast market — Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, Mobile, and Baldwin County — call us for a manual broker valuation.
- Is this a formal marine appraisal for insurance or financing?
- No. It's a market valuation for pricing decisions. If you need a formal appraisal report for insurance, financing, or a loss claim, we'll refer you to a certified marine surveyor and coordinate it.
- What information do I need to get a value?
- Just the year, make, model, engine setup, and hours. The more accurate the details, the more relevant the comparable listings we can find for boats like yours on the Alabama Gulf Coast.
- What if there aren't enough comparable listings?
- Some boats have very few public listings at any given time. When that happens the tool will tell you it can't produce a reliable range instead of guessing, and we'll do a manual broker valuation over the phone.
- Do you appraise boats outside Alabama?
- The tool works anywhere, but TMD Marine only lists and sells boats in Alabama. If you're outside AL and want us to represent your boat, the transaction has to be based in Alabama — typically with the boat brought to Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, or Mobile for showing, survey, and closing.
