There are a zillion used boats out there for sale, and most of them are over priced, In My Opinion...

People put a price on it....it doesn't sell for 2 months so they drop the price a few grand....it doesn't sell....so they drop the price again....If you want to sell it why not put your price on it and SELL IT!

I had sold my last three boats without having to advertise. When somebody is interested in my boat, I call my bank, get the pay off amount for the month of December, and that's what they pay. Not a dollar more. If the pay off is $28,678 then that's what I will tell people the boat is for sale for. Not 33,000 or 32,000... My boats blue book for alot more, as they are "current year" boats, but I just don't feel right sitting on a boat for a few months trying to squeeze a few grand out of them.

Blue books are a good place to start, but definately not the bible on prices.
