Moving up

Hey guys I am thinking of moving up to a 35' or 38' this winter. My question is when should I put the 27' up for sale? With the softer market should I start advertising now? Second question, what is a fair asking price for my 27'.....1999 hp500 116 original hrs. Eagle trailer, great shape no mods. other than controls bezels, stereo etc. Thanks for your replies.

Re: Moving up

Seller market sucks. Sink it, make claim, call it a day. LOL LOL or you will end up trying to give it away. Look at the great prices of boats lately that are not selling.

Re: Moving up

I am going to try to move up this winter as well. I have a 1990 27', actually it is a 29' by today's standards. Twin 365hp 454's and only 520 hours. Will be asking $32,000. Will go on the market after Labor Day.

Sorry to hijack your thread 99Fever27. A guy at grand just sold his 29 for 55,000 and it had either twin 500's or 525's. Can't remember.

Re: Moving up

i have contacted someof the major companies like cumberland etc etc
i wanted to get a smaller boat, couldnt work a deal.
i may just let mine go at a rediculously low price at this point, ( in my opinion )
if you guys dont want to wait and ready to do something now let me know,,
i dont have much time to fuss around with it anymore..
