Default Possibly Selling The Boat ???'s

Hey guys I'm thinking about selling the boat this summer. Where could I get a handle on its true value in todays market? If I decide to sell I don't want to over price and sit on it for ever but I also don't want to give it away. The problem that I have is that the whole boat has been upgraded over the last 7 years I've owned it. So I just cant use blue book or any thing like that. Throw me some ideas...



Thanks Anthony

Just like selling a house. Pull the comps, make sure yours is truly turnkey, and underprice the comps by a few percent to sell it. You know you will not get the $ out of improvements or upgrades like you wish you will, it makes your boat more desirable and easier to sell, not more valuable. I did my last 2 boat sales this way and sold both within days of listing.

Anthony, what year, motors, trailer? etc. My buddy is looking right now, and ready to buy right now. Give me a ballpark price range and I'll let him know. If its something he's interested in he's ready to travel tomorrow with cash in hand.
