good luck! its a great looking boat

I'll be interested to see how it works, as I've been considering giving it a try too.

I recently sold my checkmate this way. Although it didn't meet the reserve and "sell" on ebay, that is where the buyer saw the boat advertised. He was from Virginia.

I had my boat advertised on here and boattrader with no action. I put it on ebay and the auction recieved 3000 hits in 7 days. I probably had 40 phone calls in that time period. It is a good, cheap ($40) means of worldwide advertisment. And these days people are not afraid to travel to buy a boat that they want. Hell, i sold mine to a guy in VA, and i just bought another in FL.

Good luck with the sale. I may have to try that when I am ready to sell mine.

Hi-perf-2000 - thanks for the advice you gave me a couple weeks ago. I'll keep everyone posted on how I make out!

Nice looking boat. Are you upgrading?

Did ya try the OSO Auctions?????????????

Custom built HP500?

Hey JROMY:

What ya goin to buy next?

FT525

Full Throttle and Check Freak - If this thing sells, I am definately upgrading next year to either a 28 or 33 Powerplay (used). If I still have this boat next year, I'm trading it in on a new something (to be determined by what they give me for a trade) We'll see....

PhantomChaos - the OSO auction is next on my list!

H2o warrior - The engine is a Flagship HP 500 http://www.flagshipengine.com

Good luck! I have a sale pending on my 26' Sonic... from the OSO Classifieds... to get this MONTANA, from Virginia.

How did your e-bay experience go? I saw it didn't meet reserve, but did it net any serious leads?

-Greg

E bay worked the best anything has yet. I had figured that it probably wouldn't sell in the auction, but I'd get some phone calls which I did (thanks hi-perf-2000 for the advice)! I got at least 8 emails and 5 or 6 phone calls so far. To be perfectly honest, I think I may be asking a bit too much for the boat because some of the people sounded very serious until we talked about price.

Guess I may have to give it a try too. I've gotten about 8 or so e-mail/calls from the OSO, H2O Perf and Powerboat Listing ads, but no one yet who would make a written offer (most just want to see what they could get and then say "I'll think about it").

belongs in the classifieds please.
