$20-32k. If it has upgraded electronics, and runs and shows flawless you can be over $30k. Gas engines hurt the value. Best of luck.

I wouldn't totally agree that gas engines hurt the value. Yeah diesel boats usually cost more and many people won't work on diesels as easy as a gas boat. Every boat doesn't need diesels. Depending on your location and useage diesel engines can be more of a deterent. If your not putting a lot of hours or running any distance it's not that beneficial. Youll end up with old fuel and could be other issues. Also and in the area I'm at diesel fuel isn't that available at most docks. May be way different where you are .

Was the 3227 even available with diesels? I'd be surprised if it was. If one had diesels, I'd look closely at the retrofit, as it could create more issues if not done properly.
