I would say depending on age, condition, accessories etc. $800 - $1,000max.

Depends on how it was stored more than anything . If spent all its time in the sun , wind , rain , snow it slowly does a number on the coating .

The transom is another spot that can be damaged .

Before you buy , go to a dealer and talk with the guy who actually does the repairs not a salesman , ask them about lifespan , common repairs and cost to fix .

25% to 30 % of new is a ball park figure for me , cash in hand talks

You can also get some serious cracking if it has been folded for a long time. Lay it out, fill it, check the transom mounts, valves, hull for rub lines. Mooring to a stationary object for an extended period can seriously damage the fabric.

Inflate it in your living room and fill it with water. You want to make sure it doesn't leak!

10 years old? The market has been flooded in that time frame with very comparitable models from various manufacturer's. Use that as your guide line:wink:. You can pick up some great inflatables that are not 10 years old for a great price right now:-D.

Bought one of the same vintage in the 12 foot size, wooden floors. Minor repairs had been made over it's previous lifetime. Super slow leak (two days before you can notice) complete with 4 horse kicker - Total: $ 100.00.
Couldn't say no at that price.

Cheers,
