Unhappy Why can't I sell?

Ive been trying to sell my 2002 29 Outlaw with twin 496 HO's for about 6 months. Theres not a scratch on it and it only has 70 hours on it. It has every possible option from BAJA. Latham hrydraulic steering, POLK AUDIO, everything. Its been a fresh water boat and Im the original owner. It doesnt have a trailer but I can get one if somebody needs one. I dont understand why im having a hard time selling it. ITS FLAWLESS! Im trying to upgrade to a Top Gun but want to dump this one first.

Do you think im overpriced?

Looks like a great deal to me. Someone should snag that up.

I don't think your price is out of line for what it is worth at all. I simply think that the market sucks right not and short of giving it away you will probably have to hold on to it. I am in the same boat (no pun intended) with my 2001 302.


Earlier this year a 2000 36 with 500's, trailer and a bunch of accessories sold for under 70K .

I don't see higher end used boats going anywhere for quite some time.

Oh yeah I have personal friend that is a dealer and he just sold a brand new 2004 29 ol with a trailer and Ho's for under 90K out the door.

I'd love to be in the market for your boat right now. But after dropping $400 for gas between Friday and Saturday on a single engine boat it's unlikely I'd make that move. I imagine that I'm not the only one balancing the desire for bigger/faster with rising fuel costs

Not to mention the Feds have not helped things out by raising rates every month for the last year. We have had 12 (.25) adjustments in the last 14 months. .25 is not much, but twelve of them is. Gas, maintenance, interest,... The market sucks.....One critical option the boat needs is cockpit carpet. Table would be nice too. It is a nice boat though......

Boat looks clean. Yes tuff market right now. I just purchased a 2003 29OL w/HO's for that price.
Any takers?
MAy get some low offers of 70-72K. Good lick in your sale..

Why the brand switch. How about a bigger baja. 33 or 35/36??

Did your 03 come from Houston? If so, I know D. Lockwood.

Its a buyers market right now,you either have to wait for the "right buyer" or keep reducing the price of your boat until your literally giving it away. Is your price fair,definately,will it sell at that price,obviously it isn't. A buddie of mine had a clean.low hour 2000 29 ol (with base motors ) took him 2 years to sell,he got 55,000 for it over a year ago after reducing price several times and spending thousands on advertising. Ran a E-bay ad,didn't sell BUT someone bought it from seeing the ad,Smitty
