Need to sell
      #1958141 - 12/08/2008 10:07

Very sadly I need to sell my pride and joy - boat not wife! Anyone out there have any recent experience of what I assume is a lousy market or any advice on the best way to market the boat? Thanks.

Judging by these ads

You want to spread it around a bit and have very detailed descriptions with lots of good pictures.

I put mine in boats and outboards free of charge ,had about 20 calls of which 2 turned up to view and tyre kick,result no sale. Have you tried boatshed? they want 7% to sell but you can haggle on this.

Very specialised boat competing with masses of mainstream GRP boats. Either easy to sell because there are so few on the market and it is just what the punter wants, or difficult because nobody wants to take a risk on a little known design. Material is a mixed blessing.

Nice looking boat, though, and well priced for what it offers.

I gave mine to Ancaasta. Sold within two months. Currently on holiday in Brittany on it, return Sunday. It gets surveyed Monday and hopefully I get the money shortly after.
