Re: "Blue Book"
The KBB applies to car valuations. The BUC book applies to boats. BUC values can be very rough estimates. The true value of a boat is what someone is willing to pay for it and not what the owner thinks it is worth or what some book says it is worth.

Re: "Blue Book"
NADA blue book establishes boat values..... for popular craft anyway. Take it with a BIG grain of salt though.

Re: "Blue Book"
It had to do with currents in the Caribbean, so it must be Cornell's. The post just said check "blue book". Thanks for the responses!!

No idea then. The cornell merchant seaman's manual is blue but does not cover tides....it's a how to of lifeboats, knots, damage control, etc....

Re: "Blue Book"
Who knows then, because I thought it was a book having to do with opposing currents and other info on passage making. Thanks for the response.

Re: "Blue Book"
Hang in there, Little Whale, Cornell does have a book called World Sailing Routes, or something like that. Perhaps it's cover is blue? Keep looking and waiting, someone here will come up with something definitive.

Re: "Blue Book"
NADA and BUC give boat values. Beware however that since the boat market is so much smaller than the auto market, actual sold prices may vary tremendously from blue book, especially for models not well represented in a particular region.

Re: "Blue Book"
NADA... Pretty well sums up the price you'll typically get for a used boat in these waters...

Re: "Blue Book"
I wonder if the original person that told you to check "the blue book" was referring to either Chapman's or Bowditch's - both of which I have and both of which have blue bindings. If this is the case, it is the first time I have ever heard of either of these books referred to by their cover color.
