Need some advice...Can't seem to sell my boat
Good Afternoon:
I have listed my boat a couple different times trying to sell it and didn't have any luck. Now I have purchased another boat and really want to sell my old one but can't get anyone to bite on it. I was wondering what you guys thought...Am I overpriced? I look forward to the replies. I have included a link to my boat trader ad.

Its a 20 year old boat and way overpriced IMO. All that new stuff doesnt matter to the new owner. If it really is a nice, clean boat then price it at your bottom dollar and have that price discussion AFTER someone comes to see it. (thats what I did)

In my mind you are overpriced, I sold my (at the time) 13yr old 272 with a 502 with around 200 hrs on it for 23k.
Sorry to be honest but, if I was a buyer looking at your pictures:
- I see a dirty transom (scum line and exhaust soot),
- wrinkled/wavy backrest to the sundeck (leads me to believe it was incorrectly replaced,
- miss colored blue vinyl replacement on the bench seat,
- the wires (covered by the black plastic wire cover) running into the bench seat storage area is what I would call a “shade tree” fix
- I would question if the top was left on, for the dash shots, because it was hiding something
Again sorry if I offended you with my observations.

I bought an 05 Sunsation Dominator. Bought it where I thought it should be priced compared to what has actually sold. I would think all the work I had put into my Baja would help with the price. I priced it based on what other boats were listed for. Of course there is some wiggle room on the price

I just sold a 1997 24 Baja Outlaw with 454 and it was very clean for $17500. I felt like I should have gotten more but I sold it fast. I would guess you are slightly over price.

I hear ya, sold my 99, 25 outlaw with 380 hrs, clean for $23500. The money you put in it just put it back the way it was supposed to be doesn't add to the value. Its now Clean and Running.... have you received any offers?? Usually, you will get just above the low ballers.
Its all about what the market will pay..

Yep your to high. Late 90's early 2000's 272 and 25's are going in the low to mid 20's. The 13k mark would be a good place to start. You might be better off parting it out.
