Just because someone has a high asking price doesn't mean they won't negotiate and don't really want to sell. On one of the boats I bought I offered 20k less than the asking price and ended up buying it for 15k less than the asking price. On one boat I sold I was asking 17k but would have taken 9 just to make it go away but someone offered me 16500 for it.

On one boat I bought, I offered a broker 1/3rd the price and he told me the offer was not worth a response. So he did not get to sell me the boat because he did not engage in negotiations. I contacted the owner and made the same offer. The owner stated that was not a price he could sell for but wanted to keep communications open for negotiations. Since he engaged in a back and forth for a few months we came to a price and I bought it.

Some buyers are afraid of a high listing and will not respond. Some sellers are chumming for big bucks and the listing price means nothing. Many angles to marketing.

I have a nice 2005 353 and I list it high as I look at the high end and the low end of what people are asking for but always willing to deal and I know my boat is clean with low hours 245? My Aluminum Phoniex trailer is a 2009 and it has the 496 HO MAGs in it 425 HP each. I love it and these engines are bullet proof for the most part and really easy on fuel. It is a great boat so if you find a clean one and you like it don't beafraid to make them an offer....

Good luck with your new boats, This is my 8th Formula and the next one will also be!
