i had a 28 Webbcraft that i had advertized EVERYWHERE for close to a year without any luck. also tryed 2 local brokers. no luck there either.
put it on ebay and finally sold it after my auction was over to a guy that saw my add but didnt bid.

ebay isnt cheap but it will get alot of exposure.
think it cost me somewhere around 40.00
well worth it to me

best of luck

Another point... Winter is on it's way... people buy new boats in winter, not used ones,, they buy them in late spring/summer... :(


P.S. Exposure is your friend in this case...

. . . . and than there was one :( . . . . .



course than again i'm probably gonna list mine in the spring. thinking 31 sonic. what number are you thinking about starting at? :cool:

Re: Boat Ad question.... which site works best?
 

More people know of boattrader online than OSO.

I listed my 27' on OSO 2yrs ago, no inquires.
Then listed on trader and tons of calls, then a sale.

Re: Boat Ad question.... which site works best?
 

I have had my boat up for sale on OSO, speedwake, traderonline, boats.com, and boatfreaks.org I usually ask where they seen it when I get a call or email. My best exposure has been here from what people tell me.

BoatTrader
 

I have my boat listed on boattrader. I have had calls, but the season is basically over.

In order to sell a boat now, you would have to give it away.

Wait until March.

You have a very nice boat, Dustin! But, like everyone else, I need to sell my boat first before I can think about buying yours.

Good luck!

Hey Dave,

I still need your opinion on my glass. It's part of the process.
After all, I may need to keep it.
And I may wait to list it in the spring.

In any event, I need to know whether the glass is gonna need some help.
Maybe I will call your cell later and see what's shakin.

Not sure what number to start at. It's kind of a unique boat, as you know.
I actually paid more than I wanted to because of the exhaust style.
Wanted a quiet boat. That way people wouldn't know I can't drive. :D

But I paid more than I will ever get. (16k)
Then I put a couple grand in it fixing some problems, and a couple grand in the stereo.... who knows. I guess I'm up to 21k.
Maybe if I can get something in the low teens and walk away it will be worth it or I will never get to move up.

Live and learn. At least I was boatin'. :drink:

Thanks for the input folks, I knew that most of you have been down this road more than I.
