Gauging Interest on an 85 Cuddy.

[KB85]

Thanks for the input. I'm willing to flex about 700 or 800 if I need to, but the more money I get out of it now, the better my chances are for getting another boat in the future.

If anybody is interested, let me know. I can't post it on CL for another couple of weeks because I'm leaving going out of town for 9 days and my wife wouldn't even know how to start the thing up to show a potential buyer. Once I get back though, it can be found on the Wash, D.C. CL.

The price is right, but the market is BRUTAL right now. If you can hold off until spring you will have your best shot at getting what you need out of it. I've had my HYDRA-SPORTS for sale now since Christmas and I've only had 1 person come look at it. I know my boat is older and she is ROUGH cosmetically, but I'm asking less than half of what the market value is for her. I'm hoping come spring I can get some interest on it as I really want to move up to a little bigger boat with a cuddy in it for the wife.

Yeah I hear ya. It won't officially be on the market until April but I'm pretty sure the snow is done for now (knock on wood) and the weather is getting there so hopefully I'll get some hits. I'd really like to trade it for a small center console, maybe in the 15 foot range with 60 or 70 on it, but I won't have room for a boat where I'm moving to.

You say you can flex 700-800 in your price. If it were me and I had to sell I'd list it at $3950 and go to $3700 if someone had the cash in hand. There's a ton of boats for sale out there and $3950 looks thousands cheaper and catches a buyer's eye more than $4500. I hate to say it but any money I spend on a boat that I like and plan to keep I consider gone down a black hole. I keep receipts, but stopped adding them up. It'll make ya wanna cry.

Am I just asking way too much for this thing? I have only had one guy come look at it and he said that he just sold his 30 foot cabin cruiser and was looking to downgrade. He drove a brand new Mercedes. Not getting my hopes up on that one.

But really, what the heck? Its been listed for 3 weeks and haven't had any bites. I can't go below 3500 so I can only lower the price a little more before I'm bottomed out.
