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 38 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.

38 distinct boats observed high confidence Updated November 15, 2026

37 priced listings across 20 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 (113 raw listings collapsed to 38 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.

Coverage: Model years 1994–2006, 20 states, 26 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take

BoatVerdict listing data
Supply is national: we saw listings in 20 states. You can shop this model without flying somewhere, and you will not be the only boat on the market when you sell.
BoatVerdict listing data
Between the 1994 ($12,000 median) and the 2006 ($17,000 median) asking prices fall about 3% a year. The steepest part of that curve is behind any boat more than five years old, which is where the value sits.
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 18 most recently seen of 18 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.

Engines we actually see on the 220 Select

MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L) 8 listings · 21% of our sample · median 2006 hp

The most common inboard/outboard in US bowriders and cruisers. The engine itself (GM-based) is reliable; the maintenance burden is the drive and exhaust. Bellows, gimbal bearing, U-joints, and — in any saltwater service — exhaust manifolds and risers are the recurring costs.

Service reality: Bellows/gimbal every ~5 years; manifolds/risers every ~6–8 years (or 3–4 in salt) at $2.5–4K. Pull the drive on inspection — deferred drive service is the classic hidden cost.

What to inspect on a used Sea Ray 220 Select

MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L): Bellows/gimbal every ~5 years; manifolds/risers every ~6–8 years (or 3–4 in salt) at $2.5–4K. Pull the drive on inspection — deferred drive service is the classic hidden cost. Seen on 8 of the 38 220 Select listings we track (typically 2006 hp on this model).
Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 100 hours a year is heavy use for a MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L).
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. 60% 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 1994, so boats over 32 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 220 Select listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.

Sea Ray 220 Select FAQ

How much does a used Sea Ray 220 Select cost?

Across 38 listings BoatVerdict has observed for model years 1994 to 2006, the median asking price is $17,500. The middle half of the market asks between $15,000 and $24,500, and the full observed range runs $8,000 to $111,019. These are asking prices, not sold prices.

Which model year of the Sea Ray 220 Select is the best value?

On asking price alone the 2006 is the cheapest year we track with a usable sample (6 priced listings, median $17,000). "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 220 Select?

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 engine does the Sea Ray 220 Select come with?

In our listing sample the most common configurations are MerCruiser sterndrive (gas, 4.5L–6.2L) (8 listings, typically 2006 hp). That is what the used market actually holds, which is not always the same as what the factory offered.

What does it cost to own a Sea Ray 220 Select per year?

BoatVerdict estimates $3,750 to $10k a year for a 22-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 "220 select" all resolve to this one page rather than three thin ones. For the Sea Ray 220 Select that gives us 38 distinct boats (from 113 raw listings, before we collapsed re-posts). Publication decision: 38 distinct observations, 37 priced, 20 states, 5 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.
