Boat Valuation and Restoration Insights

Danielle introduces a property with two large barns. Mike meets Michael Moffat, whose family has owned the farm for generations. They discuss a 1948 Chris Craft boat, which is rare and partially restored. The boat's motor was rebuilt in the early '90s, and it underwent cosmetic restoration. Mike considers buying the boat but needs to research its value. He contacts Peter from Teek Boats of America, who estimates the boat's current retail value at $3,000.
