List it w/PBC would be my recommendation. You have a full service dealer and a central location in the center of the country on LOTO. Thousands upon thousands visit LOTO during the boating season. PBC will likely have the nicest waterfront location/showroom (new RHYC) in the country (catering to Performance Boats) to view & demo a boat. The guys who operate the shop have extensive experience with sales & service.

List it with national liquidators

Sold most my boats that way... And even made money on a couple

They get more eye balls as people don't go there for a particular boat, but browse for deals... But they usually sell for retail

I find it hard to believe they don't want your boat on trade. I'd venture to say that they didn't value your boat the same that you do. Dealers have to make money too.

Nope Didn't even throw any numbers my way... "Said the boat is too loud for LOTO and would have a hay day writing noise tickets" even offered to sell without power.

Odd, the team at PBC never batted an eye when selling my TopGun and it ran 750NA motors on dry tails. I've seen several boats in there that were over the top loud. Maybe PBC joined greenpeace and is now being environmentally conscientious or you could have been so high on what you wanted they didn't offer you anything at the risk of insulting you. I'm sure there's more to the story.

Anyway, if you found the 39 you want, go get her. Sweet boats IMO and on my list to own someday once I get all my pennies gathered up. Good luck in your search and finding the right venue in selling your current ride.

Yep, sounds right. Big cube high compression NA motors are silent. They remind me of a 330hp 454.

relax there HOT SHOT!! I'm not dissing your engine, just pointing out that there is a major DB difference in a big CID HP blown engine compared to that of a BIG HP NA engine
