If you find chart 20 TM's for sale, and they are all priced much higher than NADA, then I think you will have your answer.

I use NADA guides only as that - guides. They are useful in comparing one unit to another within the guide. For example, you might find that a 2008 model is valued 30% more than a 2003 model, and that's good information to know.

But just as they are with cars, they are only a guide, especially when it comes to actual dollar values. I know NADA guides are notoriously low for certain boats as well, like Boston Whalers. I think the more niche the product you look up, the more likely the NADA value will be lower than market value.
