And me personally the carb engine would hold me back, unless it was cheap to get into.

1997 is the cut off for most lenders, so the year excludes most the buyers that need to borrow. I use NADA and comps to price a boat. To most buyers stereo equipment adds nothing to the value of the boat. It looks very clean, spell check the classified and add description to it. Your description sounds more like a story than a classified to me.
I'd do some thing more like this: 1993 Baja 272 Shooter, Mercury 454 Mag (360hp, 20 hours on new power), Bravo I drive, Mirage 23 pitch prop, rear swim ladder, Lenco trim tabs, thru hull exhaust, electric engine hatch ram, halon, (3) Interstate batteries on Perko switch, cockpit carpet, drop out bolster, Garmin 192 color, upgraded Livorsi gauges, etc then add at the end Heritage tandem axle trailer with surge brakes included. I try to work from the back of the boat and go over all the options and equipment on the boat. I'm not an expert by any means..... but I have stayed in a Holiday Inn! :stooges: |

For comparison I paid 22,000 For this 1996 272 in May of this year , its three years newer , brand new performance (all forged internals and internally balanced with crane 1.7 iconal valves and headers etc.) with 14,000 in the engine alone that runs an honest 70+ on GPS. And this was in may when prices are high , typicaly prices drop a couple grand this time of year . i feel i got a fair deal (didn't steal it) but its a pretty clean boat . So 2500 more than your 93

Guess it depends on where you live. I'm in southern Ontario and discussed consigning our 2001 272 with a 502. Trailer included and he said we would be right in the middle of the ball park at $ 32,500 Canadian $. Go figure.

Been the consigning/broker route! they are looking to sell at the highest price possible and make 10% while making you think they can sell it that high to get you to sign. ! Once they have you signed up, they will take all offers less their cut! Us $ would be just under 31k. Depending on supply and demand..

Fix your ad, as I buyer I don't care what you paid for this and that. How many hours on the boat? It wasn't crystal clear. Saltwater or fresh? The ad that was suggested is spot on, yours is too lengthy and tiresome. Get that boat spotless, Its end of season so don't expect to get a high price and serious buyers are scarce. Start at $14k and take the first reasonable offer.

Also if you ever plan to make more HP the FI system is can be more costly to upgrade to support the new HP. just my .02! As for the OP, the price is to high, if no one is even coming to see it that tells you its way too high. also as others have said change the wording in the ad. also like others have said, the boat is only worth "X" dollars, it doesnt matter if you dumped $100k into its still only worth "X" dollars to the general public. Also isnt the shooter only a 20 degree deadrise boat??? if so that can also be hurting your sale, people on big lakes dont care for 20 degree boats IMO. good luck! |

Funny you say that, to me i find a carb as a bonus, especially when these mid 90's boats were not designed with with ethanol in mind so who knows how long till the ethanol starts messing with the rubber o-rings and seals and other components in a FI system causing issues. Also with a FI system theres more things that can go wrong IMO and leave you stranded. a carb is pretty basic, as long as the fuel pump doesnt die chances are its gonna at least get you home

Eddie's ad is a good listing and I sold a 1995 272 on a trailer with a 502MagEFI with 400hrs in 2006 for 24k the boat was immaculate inside and out. Also had a serious stereo. People don't care about upgrades they look at it as something they don't have to do rather than cash value. Only thing they see is a 20yr old boat that runs on a trailer. Market will not bare 20k for a 20yr old boat
272 Shooter is a 24 degree deadrise it's basically a 272 earlier version. Best of luck in sale.. NADA on your boat on a trailer with your options is $13800.00 why nobody is looking at it. |
