Ebb and flow; AT sales.
At different parts of the year, and over the past few years...
I have a couple names and numbers of people that tell me "I'll sell my boat for the right price."
Lately, I've had the inverse. I've probably had 10 emails, PMs, and calls over the past few weeks from folks that are looking for 25s, 28s, 32s, and even 37s.
Is it a sellers market for ATs all of a sudden?
Hardly. These folks are all looking for serious deals; some unrealistic, to be honest.
But for those of you who would sell; you are not going to do so unless you advertise it and put it out there.
If you are not in a rush to sell your boat, put that in the ad. If you are not going below a certain dollar, put that in the ad.
But I will tell you this: don't lose a buyer over a couple months of a season left, or a few bucks on the table between you.
Bottom line, put it out there. Craigslist, OSO, Boattrader, Powerboatlistings, etc. etc.
Just my 2 Centavos.

I have had 4 written offers on my boat. 1 fell through to a wife putting her foot down, and 3 to inability for the buyer to get financing. Cash or Assets anyone?

So now that the one guy is divorced is he going to get the boat.

We have financing options/contacts on new boats.
The biggest thing about financing a used boat is you must have liquidity after you make the required downpayment. The lender wants you to have some flow to maintain the boat after you own it so they have a reasonable expectation you will help to hold the boat's value over the life of the loan as you own it.
