Gauging Interest on an 85 Cuddy.

[KB85]

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.

nice boat brother. unfortunately, they are a dime a dozen right now and personally i dont think it will bring that much. good luck with the sale.

^^^^^See above post. Go for $3950.^^^^^

Well, I changed it to $3950. We will see if 50 bucks really makes a lot of difference. I sure hope so.

It's all psychology bro! It sounds a lot cheaper telling the wife your gonna spend thirty nine hundred or so on a hole in the water versus FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR$.
