How much is a crab boat worth?

There were 250 Alaskan Crab Boats at one time and today the fleet is down to about 80. So there are a few still on the market that may be available with a price tag of from $190,000 to $350,000. The pricing can widely vary depending on date of construction, type of construction, Pot and storage capacity, Radar, Sonar, Navigation and other installed Electronics, Coast Guard Certifications, and miscellaneous upgrades. Quoted prices would not include state and federal licenses required to go crabbing and the cost of fueling up such a craft. For a new vessel tricked out and ready for sea no less than $500,000 and at the top end, 1.5M USD.
