I have a 2004 25 cruiser with a BF135 that needs a repower and we don’t have 20k to put in a boat right now. Boat hull in great shape, new transom in 22. Roadking trailer new in 22 also. Older working electronics. Need advice on asking price please. Thank you! Larkin

You should be able to get a 150 Suzuki for about $15K--but inflation may have caught up with the outboards... Ideally the 25 does best with the lighter weight 200 HP.

Figure in the 55 to 60 K range for C Dory 25 with a mid life (600 or so hours). The newer head/holding tank gets a bit of a premium unless the buyer is going to put in a composting toilet.

The 15 to 20 K for a new engine--assuming a good trailer, and the boat is otherwise in good condition--that without a motor you will be in the 40K range. If the trailer is not good, then take off another few thousand/. The new trailer is going to be closer to 10K for the desired Loadrite which has a 7+k weight capacity. There are a few owners who are going to be only dry stack or slip--and they don't want the trailer. (My son keeps his 25 in the water in a slip--so he has to pay for trailer storage monthly...

I know someone who would buy outboard take-offs for his boat, from when people repowered a bit earlier than necessary, and he’d just put them on himself. You may be able to find a mid-to-late life motor for cheap, or a rebuilt, and put it on there so you’re not just selling a hull. Not saying to do that now, but perhaps it’s an idea to keep in mind if you get stuck and illiquid— could profit from it as well. It’s a risk, though, and lowering the price might be enough with less work. Good luck.

Why does this boat need a repower?

Yes, a higher HP motor might be nice, but if the existing motor works...
