Gene, I think you're missing the point of everyone else's posts. You keep going back to what you're going to do, or how much you have in her, or this or that. But you're not listening to what people are saying. You're hearing them, but you're not listening. Your boat is worth a lot less than you think it is. There is a saying that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and unless you find someone that is new to boating and doesn't know squat or is very rich and doesn't give a damn about money, you are not going to sell your boat for anywhere near what you are asking. Fact I don't mean to disparage you or your boat, but in my humble opinion, you're being unrealistic in your asking price. Fact is, even with the 150 zuke on it and with a tandem trailer in good shape I'm betting that boat will not sell for more than $7000, and probably closer to $4500 - 5500. I hope you get your asking price. As they say, there's one born every minute. But I'm sorry, I just don't want you to get your hopes up unrealistically.
As an example, Last year I missed a 1996 V21 with a sweet running, ultra quiet 200 Yammy engine on it, with full enclosure, bolsters, trim tabs and a tandem trailer. I thought the asking price of $7200 was too high, and a day later when I went back to buy it, it was gone... It sold for $6800. That boat was in far, far better shape than yours is, and we're talking about the Eastern Seaboard of New Jersey, where things cost much more than the rest of the country.
What I and everyone else is trying to tell you is your price is unrealistically too high and your boat will not sell. I'm sorry, but that's the bottom line.
