Question Why?? Just tire kickers, no buyers!!

I have started to advertise my 1997 312 Fastech for sale @59,900....Yacht trader, bargain Posts, etc..... large picture ads too.
it only has 224 hrs total & is almost pristine, but everybody wants pictures sent to them but that's the end of it!! Surely the price is not out of line??? It even includes a triple axle trailer w/elec-hydraulic brakes.

What's up?? Got any ideas??

The guy that bought my 280SS with twin V6s just sold his performance boat because of the price of gas. He wanted something that costs less to run.

If it has blowers (going by your screen name) that scares away a lot of buyers.

It is also a 10 year old mass produced boat with major incentives for buyers to buy new ones (low interest/ long warranties). Hang in there, there is an azz for every seat.

Bayliner NOT!! The bolsters & floor alone cost over 10% of the asking price! I guess a lot of people don;t realize the quality of a Formula as compared to many/most mass produced boats..... I do have Prochargers but only at 3# boost. I am going to remove them though for that very reason. Just gotta keep after it I guess.

I didn't mean it like that, just that there are a lot of them out there to choose from.

BlownFormula, people don't look at resale value based on sum of parts value unless the boat is salvage. They look at what the bank will loan on it/ what others are selling for. 10 year old bolsters are probably not worth much in the open market since they would need new vinyl anyway to match someone's boat.

Hang tight, it will sell. Do you have it advertised here on OSO?
