ideas on selling 382 ?
 

hi my name is charlie, im a lurker and was looking for some help on trying too sell our 382 fastech ,its a great boat in perfect condition and i cant seem too find the right person too be interested in it . any thoughts on selling ideas or price ? thanks for all the past info ive learned from you guys .ive got it listed in the classifiedsright knowunder formula fast and reliable. sorry dont know how too link. thanks charlie melchner jr

honestly, try lowering your price to something reasonable. $190K for a 1998 is high. Boats that have been modified usually don't sell that easy. Price it similar to a stock powered 1998 382 with 575's and it should sell.

what would you consider a fair # too help move it ?

$115k to $125K

I have to agree, I bought a 2002 with Procharged 500's and all the options except genset last summer for 1/2 what your asking. Mine was an exceptional deal but still reflective of the market your working in. Upgrades in used boats don't bring alot of extra money. If you can get high book value (based on stock configuration) for your boat I believe that's all the money you can get out of it.
BTW: I haven't looked up book on your boat...

NADA
1998, 500HPs, A/C, TV........ books at $103-$115K. IMO, $115K is the most you can expect for a 9-10 year old boat. Good Luck

thanks for the help guys ill keep all this in mind and try and lower my price. anyone know any interested buyers? fresh water boat allways well maintained at a reasonable price ?

Put it on www.boattrader.com .There are way more buyers checking there than on OSO classifieds. As much as I love OSO,I realize that boattrader has more buyers and lookers. Not everybody knows of OSO,everybody knows Trader,just my 2 cents. And as has been stated 190K is way,way high.

about 100k too high.

so whats the best route ? cut my loses and sell low or change out some parts and sell the high perf stuff ? just not sure what too do . the package is so reliable and dialed in with no querks seems a shame too part it out .any thoughts.
