Bump it up. A lot of interest, but no offers or buyers!

Weather is getting nicer. This boat needs a new home. Any interest? Pm me.

I had a little interest but moved on to a newer boat. To be honest, I thought of offering you $10K and doubt you would have taken it. If you want to sell it you need to go get it. Uncover it and clean it spotless. Take a ton of pics and advertise on Only Inboards and Boat Trader Online. It won't hurt to put it on Ski It Again and then run a new ad here. Right now a lot of people are getting the new boat itch and selling older MC's. I've seen the ads pick up in the past week or two. In the next two months you will get buyers looking for a deal and as such you will need to let it go for less than optimum. Keep until May and you will get top dollar. JMO and I wish you well with the sale and hope you prove me wrong.

Good advice. May and June are top dollar sales months for used boats. If it isn't sold by the 4th of July, prices start to drop again.

In my non scientific opinion, its the older boats that get top dollar in May - June. Anything older than 10 years (arbitrarily). I think the newer used boats get top dollar earlier when current owners get the itch to upgrade well before the season starts.

That is probably spot on. Assuming it is due to financing vs. impulse purchasing issues.

Thanks for all the advice. I will take this into consideration.

Hi ,

Does this 93 have composite stringers or wood?

When do you expect a water test be available in your area once the ice goes out?
thanks,

Jeff
