Median time listed 32d before the ad disappeared

What "time listed" is and is not. We count from the day the seller posted the ad to the sweep that found it gone. An ad can end because the boat sold, because the seller gave up, or because the classifieds site expired the post on its own schedule. So read 32 days as how long a 175 Sport sits for sale, not as a time-to-sale. Nobody in this market can give you a real one: US used-boat sales are not publicly recorded. Ads that were already gone the first time we could see a whole regional board are left out of this figure, because we know they left but not when.

These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 34 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.

34 distinct boats observed high confidence Updated November 15, 2026

33 priced listings across 15 states is a national sample, so the range is stable.

Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (81 raw listings collapsed to 34 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.

Coverage: Model years 2004–2010, 15 states, 23 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take

BoatVerdict listing data
Pricing is tight: the middle half of listings sits between $8,000 and $11,500, only a 1.4x spread. A boat asking well outside that band needs a reason, and "it is loaded" is usually not enough of one.
BoatVerdict listing data
Supply is national: we saw listings in 15 states. You can shop this model without flying somewhere, and you will not be the only boat on the market when you sell.
Recall (USCG/CPSC)
35 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.

Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

The 16 most recently seen of 16 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.

The rate counts accidents in Texas and New York waters from 2014 to 2023 (174) against 21,153 Sea Ray boats registered in those two states, the only states that publish boat-level registrations. Accident records reflect how and how much boats are used, not only how they are built. Only accidents above the USCG reporting threshold are recorded. Personal watercraft are left out.

What to inspect on a used Sea Ray 175 Sport

Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 59% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.
On the older hulls, core moisture is the deal-breaker: sound the transom and the deck with a plastic mallet, and treat any soft or dull-sounding area as a survey-stopper rather than a bargaining chip. We observe listings back to 2006, so boats over 20 years old are actively traded in this model.

This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 175 Sport listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.

Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.

Sea Ray 175 Sport FAQ

How much does a used Sea Ray 175 Sport cost?

Across 34 listings BoatVerdict has observed for model years 2004 to 2010, the median asking price is $9,500. The middle half of the market asks between $8,000 and $11,500, and the full observed range runs $5,200 to $19,990. These are asking prices, not sold prices.

Which model year of the Sea Ray 175 Sport is the best value?

On asking price alone the 2007 is the cheapest year we track with a usable sample (9 priced listings, median $9,000). "Best value" also depends on what changed between years, so read the year table above rather than buying on price alone — and note we do not claim a "best year" we cannot evidence.

Are there recalls on the Sea Ray 175 Sport?

35 federal recall campaigns are on file for this builder in the USCG and CPSC data we ingest. Recalls are issued per hull-identification range, so check the specific HIN — the recall list on this page links to each campaign and what it covers.

What does it cost to own a Sea Ray 175 Sport per year?

BoatVerdict estimates $1,750 to $4,500 a year for a 17-foot boat of this type, covering insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate use and a wear reserve. It excludes loan payments and major engine work. Assumptions are listed on this page.

How this page was built

BoatVerdict tracks used-boat listings across the US and folds them onto canonical models, so "sport 175" all resolve to this one page rather than three thin ones. For the Sea Ray 175 Sport that gives us 34 distinct boats (from 81 raw listings, before we collapsed re-posts). Publication decision: 34 distinct observations, 33 priced, 15 states, 4 model years.

We separate what we counted from what we concluded. Asking prices, listing counts, state spread and engine mix are counted. Severity ratings, ownership cost and the take are BoatVerdict analysis, labelled as such. Recalls and registry counts are primary records from federal and state sources.
