uhh no . . . . my favorite is pics that have not been rotated and are still saved at 90 degrees . . . . . W . . . . . T . . . . . F . . . . :picard1:


or better yet twelve pics showing absolutely nothing, like a corner shot of the carpet at the back of the cabin :confused:

I love the shot of 8 dudes packed into a cockpit that has room for 4...5 tops. Sausage for everyone! .

Couldn't agree more, good photos can make a big difference when selling.

Last two boats I bought, I didn't see either of them. All I had was the word of a broker I have never met (but was highly recommended) and lots of photos.
2007 Fountain and a 2000 Sea Ray 410. Both worked out beautifully.

Quality photos are a huge selling tool, make the effort to set up nice shots, you'll be glad you did.

Here's a tip:

Your phone takes pictures vertically and horizontally.
Your boat is long and narrow. Turn the phone the same way for the pictures.

**Related; NEVER take video vertically. It looks stupid.

The ones I really like is "Over $30K in upgrades, for sale for $10K!!" Oh, wait, you are willing to abandon a sinking ship, no matter what you go in it!

Don't forget the interior pick where there are life jackets, fenders, the canvas, a few empties and some of the kids beach toys scattered around the cabin. Could you straighten the sh!t up for 10 minutes to take some photos?

My favorite word in the ad..." INVESTED "....LMAO

Totally agree, I never understand why people don't take the small amount of extra time to take decent pics and type of a clear accurate description in the ad. I always go overboard and list too much....this way I figure it will save me time in the long run since I won't be wasting time answering phone calls and basic questions from people that could have been spelled out in the ad.
