Facebook I have had good luck Sold my old 265 in 2 days last year, and just sold a buddies 33 in 4 days there.

But like everything else in like, good description, plenty of photos and aggressively priced helps

Powerboatlistings.com is also a good spot. If you go thru a broker plan on them taking 10-15%

Call Ed Champion at Big Thunder Marine. He just posted on FB that he is low on inventory.

If its a pretty clean boat and the price you're looking for is reasonable, he can sell it.

I towed my Pantera 757 miles to the Grand Sport Center, IL, and it was worth it. Easiest sale I've ever done and they got me what I asked for. OSO gets good exposure for our style boats but a lot of tire kickers. I would think some of the big dealers at LOTO would be great choice too. Good luck.

Ditto on Mark and team at GSC. Sent my 30 Outlaw up from Houston to his place, it did take 7mos, but it sold just in time for my 35 to make its way from IL to TX. They are a first class operation....Thoughts and prayers to the Miller family, they recently posted that Mr. Miller (presume Mark's dad), founder of GSC, passed away. Always hurts to think of the loss of a parent....

I sold my 32' Sunsation in less than a week on Craigslist. The buyer actually called within 2 hours of the listing. You do have to be extra cautious though with the title work etc.

Good clean boats at good prices sell fast. They sit around when you want too much $$$
