Re: Boat Ad question.... which site works best?
i had a 28 Webbcraft that i had advertized EVERYWHERE for close to a year without any luck. also tryed 2 local brokers. no luck there either.
put it on ebay and finally sold it after my auction was over to a guy that saw my add but didnt bid.
ebay isnt cheap but it will get alot of exposure.
think it cost me somewhere around 40.00
well worth it to me
best of luck

Another point... Winter is on it's way... people buy new boats in winter, not used ones,, they buy them in late spring/summer...
P.S. Exposure is your friend in this case...

I have had my boat up for sale on OSO, speedwake, traderonline, boats.com, and boatfreaks.org I usually ask where they seen it when I get a call or email. My best exposure has been here from what people tell me.

BoatTrader
I have my boat listed on boattrader. I have had calls, but the season is basically over.
In order to sell a boat now, you would have to give it away.
Wait until March.

Hey Dave,
I still need your opinion on my glass. It's part of the process.
After all, I may need to keep it.
And I may wait to list it in the spring.
In any event, I need to know whether the glass is gonna need some help.
Maybe I will call your cell later and see what's shakin.
Not sure what number to start at. It's kind of a unique boat, as you know.
I actually paid more than I wanted to because of the exhaust style.
Wanted a quiet boat. That way people wouldn't know I can't drive.
But I paid more than I will ever get. (16k)
Then I put a couple grand in it fixing some problems, and a couple grand in the stereo.... who knows. I guess I'm up to 21k.
Maybe if I can get something in the low teens and walk away it will be worth it or I will never get to move up.
Live and learn. At least I was boatin'.
Thanks for the input folks, I knew that most of you have been down this road more than I.
