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?

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.
