sell or part out?
I'm stuck here. My boat needs some work and I don't really have the time to fix it so with the market for older boats these days I'm wondering if I wouldn't just be better off parting it out.What do you guy's think? It is a 24 foot excalibur. with a BBC with only about 20 hrs. slightly warmed over to around 470 horse, with a TRS drive.

Re: sell or part out?
There isn't any rot in the boat, but it needs some glass work, there are some cracks where stringers meet in the bilge, and a small area of the hull has some delamination on the starboard side about a foot off the transom. I also need a new set of tabs, since I broke one off in lake Erie's a$$ last fall. Other than that the boat is mechanically sound.

Re: sell or part out?
cant believe you havent been able to sell this boat. it is very cool. was that boat originally just a two seater? or did you rig it that way. either way i like it like that.

Re: sell or part out?
Very cool boat indeed. What have you been trying to sell it for? If you part it out you should be able to get about 3-4 grand for the motor easy enough, say 3-4 G's for the TRS, and depends if you have a merc trans or a BW I would think about 1000 for that. Most of the other stuff will get ya a couple bucks hear and there.

Re: sell or part out?
Jon, my thoughts exactly. I also would avoid worrying about someone finding things to complain about on the boat. At the same time there isn't that much wrong with it. A little, and I mean "little" tlc would make her a real nice boat again, I'd hate to cut her up. 
BTW: I was trying to get around 10k. It would kill me to sell it for much less cause I know how much fun this little boat is.

Re: sell or part out?
You can probably find some one to buy the hull and trailer when you are done if you do not strip it to badly.
