I think you would probably have pretty good luck on OSO classifieds or on trader online. Grand Sport Center might be able to sell if for you they are a big BAJA dealer.

Steve go to one of your local stores and pick up one of those Auto RV books that are free. They cover Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. You just pay for the area you want your add to cover. I had a lot of calls for my Mistress from there and even some dealers. The guy that bought it saw it in the Indiana Auto RV but the best hits where from Michigan and western Ohio. Maybe give that a try for a couple weeks and then I think Grand Sport might be your beast bet. Good Luck, Doug

Don't waist the money on the Boat RV Trader. Anyone who is looking for a larger performance boat will not be looking in that trader. If your looking for a smaller runabout for cash you look in the Trader. Just some friendly advise. Doug, Do I get a ride this year when you come to Hammond???

I wouldn't say that. Right now there is a 44' Baja running triple prochargers and a Baja Special 38'. Lingenfelter north of Indy is advertising Fountains and usually a Cincy dealer advertises some go fast in there. That is where I found and sold my Mistress. Sorry I just think it's BS that a broker wants 10% for taking 5 minutes to right up an add and put it in a couple magazines and wait for the phone to ring. Someday I might have to do that, I just think the 10% is BS.
A ride is no problem, We went out for a guys only ride last year when it was pretty nasty and had a blast. I thought I was only moving off the wall to a slip and the next thing I knew the bolsters were full. This is what everybody looked like when we came in.

Dan, you seem to have a very good memory.

In my case its a little bit more than just 5 minutes involved..
I put my Sutphen up for sale last Spring for 6 weeks,,, Wow did I learn a lesson. Tire kickers, no shows, brow beaters, picture collectors; just isnt my cup of tea..
When we bought the new boat this year, I contaced Tony from www.custommarinesales.com I did not want any part of dealing with all of the BS that is involved with selling a boat. I am fortunate that Tony keeps his boat at CPR of LOTO so it makes it very easy for me that I have my broker and service staff all familar with each other.
I did my part: I took 30+ pictures for him, had a survey completed and I keep an open line of comunication. Now all I have to do is sit back and let him do his job.
