Title: Wooldridge sled value?
Post by: freezerfull on August 27, 2016, 09:43:04 PM: Anyone have an idea of what a 2000 wooldridge 17' sled is worth. I believe it's an Alaskan but could be wrong. Has windshield with console steering, 90hp Johnson pump(original), and a 2006 ish honda 4 stroke 8hp trolling/kicker motor. I'd say overall in good condition. It's a family members who is possibly looking to sell. Thanks

I've poked around a little but it's hard to find an apples to apples comparison, lots of variety as far as models, motors, and packages. Also there always seems to be a lacking number of used wooldridge boats for sale, not a lot of folks seem to sell them and for good reason. I'd buy this one if I had the cash to blow.

Post by: BigGoonTuna on August 28, 2016, 07:41:20 AM: that sounds reasonable. a 90hp almost sounds a little small for a jet on that boat though, they usually like to put something in the 115-150 range on a 17 footer. my 14' alaskan came with a 75.

Yep that's about right
On the 16's I build most are 90/65's
17's are a combo of 90/65 and 115/80
18's are mostly 115/80 and a couple 150/105

The Alaska series were a light weight boat made for Kenai usage in many cases. 90hp makes them fly.

Post by: freezerfull on August 28, 2016, 01:11:11 PM: Thanks for the info. That price range is kinda what I was figuring, I believe it is 90hp with the pump so possibly 115/120 if it had a prop, could be wrong tho. Is there a build plate on a Johnson that says the motor hp or is what's listed on the cover the actual hp?

Post by: Sakko300wsm on August 28, 2016, 02:06:51 PM: Since it says 90hp on it - that means it's not a factory jet engine, so it's only going to be 65hp at the pump. Still all good for that size hull.
A factory 115 would say 80
A factory 150 would say 105

I do know the Johnson is original, have seen the build sheet/ invoice and was with my grandpa when he picked it up from wooldridge.

Post by: Sakko300wsm on August 28, 2016, 04:44:11 PM: Yep original with the boat- but not a factory jet engine. Wooldridge most likely put the pump on as they have a long history with Ouboard Jet.
It's going to be 65hp at the water

Post by: Wa hunter on August 28, 2016, 04:50:17 PM: You could call Danny Cook at Wooldridge he would give you a good idea what its worth. They also consign used boats, I know it wouldn't last long. Those 17' Alaskans go quick.
Title: Re: Wooldridge sled value?
Post by: freezerfull on August 28, 2016, 10:09:42 PM: Sako,
That makes sense, it does seem to be slightly underpowered.

Wa hunter,
Sounds like a good idea I'll definitely give them a buzz, thanks

Post by: WoolyRunner on August 29, 2016, 04:51:07 AM: Ive talked with Danny Cook & Grant Wooldridge at the Puyallup Sportsman show. They told me when its time for an upgrade to bring my 18' XtraPlus to their shop and theyd give you a figure of what it could be sold for. Great guys.
