Consult resources for determining your boat's value.

If you happen to donate a boat directly to a charity that will use the boat or improve it prior to re-selling it, there are several resources that can help you determine its fair market value. The following sites will help you determine the value of your boat. NADA Guides lists pricing for powerboats and sailboats from 1970 – 2003; BoatUS.com will email a free estimate of the fair market value of your used boat, and Boat Trader Online lets you check the value of your boat compared to current boats for sale.
