Sparkman and Stephens S&S 40 1979, 12.2 m
Demonstration. The boat below was invented to show how a listing behaves here — it is not for sale, its seller does not exist, and nothing in it was copied from any portal. The price, the dates and the timeline are fabricated to be realistic, including the gaps.
Where this price sits
Asking ~158 000 €, around the middle of the 99 other boats on the market here.
Asking prices of these 100 boats, lowest to highest. Middle one: ~118 000 €.
These are asking prices on boats listed here, not sale prices, and not a judgement about this one. They differ in age, size, condition and where they are, and none of that is in this figure. Prices in other currencies are converted at our stored rates, so those figures are approximate.

The boat, field by field
The same fields, in the same order, on every boat here — so two of them can be read side by side. Kilowatts are converted from the stated horsepower, not a second number the seller gave.
Everything below is what the seller states. Nothing here has been checked against an official register yet, so nothing is marked ✓. A dash means the advert never said.

What is included
UnknownThe seller has not listed what is included. The equipment row in the grid above is empty for the same reason, and nothing has been filled in on their behalf.
What it costs to keep
A model of yearly running cost, built from the boat's own figures and the assumptions below. Every input is yours to change.
We have collected harbour rates for Sweden only. For a boat lying anywhere else there is no band to show, so berth and winter storage stay empty until you type them. Inventing a band for a country nobody checked would be worse than an empty field.
4 of the five lines have no figure yet, so there is no yearly total. A total that quietly skipped them would read as complete, which is worse than no total.
If it is financed
Straight annuity arithmetic on the asking price. This part needs no local data, so it is the one number here that is not an estimate: given a price, a rate and a term, the payment is arithmetic.
These are estimates, not quotes. Nobody has quoted you anything. Check against your own harbour, yard and insurer before you rely on a number here.
- Insurance: 0.5 to 1.5 percent of hull value is the band commonly quoted for pleasure craft. We start at 1.0 and show the band.
- Fuel burn: derived from stated engine power as a rule of thumb (roughly hp/8 for petrol, hp/11 for diesel at cruise). It is not a measured consumption figure for this boat.
- Berth and winter storage: model bands built from published municipal and marina rate cards for each Swedish region, deliberately wide enough to hold the variation between harbours. Nobody has priced your berth.
- Fuel price: no default. It moves weekly and differs by pump, so the field stays empty until you set it.
- Insurance is taken as a percentage of the ASKING price. That is the only value on the record; it is not an appraisal or an agreed value.
The real cost
What this actually costs you
This one is in Portugal. The asking price is not what you pay. Here is everything else, including the parts we can’t work out for you.
| Cost | Amount |
|---|---|
| Asking pricestated by the seller, not independently confirmedAs listed. | 158 000 € |
| VATThis kind of listing doesn't state a VAT status, so we can't tell you whether VAT applies. Ask the seller. | not known |
| TransportWe hold no transport pricing, so we won't guess. It's located in Portugal; get a quote before you commit. | not known |
| RegistrationRegistration and any national fees vary by country and by item. We hold no figures for them yet. | not known |
| What we can totalThis is not the final cost. 3 lines are still unknown above, and every one of them costs money. | 158 000 € |
VAT rates are standard national rates as of 2026-07, and rates change, so confirm before you commit. Whether VAT is actually due depends on your circumstances and the seller’s, which we can’t see. Nothing here is tax advice, and your country choice stays in your browser: we don’t send it anywhere or attach it to this listing.

Verification
Proof, not placement
Selling this one? 1 field on this listing is your word alone right now:
A registry check confirms them against the registry, not against you, and marks them verified on the listing, for every buyer, permanently, with the check printed on the timeline. A person runs it, so it is not instant.
We bind a check to the account that ordered it. That is how the receipt has your name on it, and how nobody else can order one on your listing.
Opening-bid listings (utgångspris/auction) are banded on the stated opener, minimum €49 — openers understate value.
