2000 Boston Whaler - 23' Outrage

[RidgeRunner]

The boat has a 30" transom. Motor is mounted to the transom like normal. Lots of freeboard. Some of these were rigged with twins, twins used 25" motors.
I hope it sells soon. Peak of the season is here. Going to run an ad on Boat Trader. There are about five of these boats on there now, all more $$$. This one is prime for the taking. Not saying it is the nicest one but it is one of those boats that will be around in another 20 years IMO. And thanks Willy.

Have you tried craigslist yet? You get alot of tire kickers, but there are some buyers as well.

[RidgeRunner]

I have two worthless checks in hand from scammers off Craigslist. I need to re-up there too. I don't have it in front of enough potential buyers is part of the problem. I have it at a consignment lot with 20,000 cars a day going by it every day, a few people interested, but not interested enough. Someone paid for a survey that turned out well but the gent was from upstate NY and shipping was $1700 and the potential buyer stopped returning my e-mails. I am tired of cleaning and waxing the boat every so often. I wash it three times and use it once, it has a full cover but it is hard to show with the cover on it.

Updated with some blue commentary and a new price. $21,000. Willing to seperate boat motor and trailer. It needs a new home folks.. Just put another 500 smackers into maintenance and incidentals. My back is still hurting from all the waxing and polishing. It is Slinger Clean and ready for a change of address. In a month or two I intend to start replacing the upholstry and the price will go back up. Noticed some cracks in the starbd side floor box hatch today. I paid to have both hatches recored in 2008. It is solid but will need some attention at some point as that is how the original hatches began to deteriorate. The fix was a couple hundred for both versus a new lid from Whaler at $400 each.
THANKS FOR LOOKING.

At the risk of an 8 page diatribe on what the price should be. I would like to see this boat gone. $21,000 and a full tank of non-ethanol 91 grade. A $640 value. Another cleaning on 10/1. Lots of activity but still avail. Engine hours are now at 425.

ridge, have you tried posting on continous wave. lots of attitude over there, but they are nuts for whalers

[RidgeRunner]

I love the thought of being down to 2 boats. It is tempting tho.... Your V catches fish,

Continuous Wave, got it Phat. I hear you about attitude. I have not posted it in too many places, Whaler Mall, CL Tampa and here. If it were a 70's or 80's model Outrage it would already be gone. The Whaler purist dislike this hull. It is more of a deep V design with a small brow.
No fewer than a dozen folks couldn't get financing. I am being told the boat appraisal from the bank came back just north of $25,000. Hull alone $16,000. The banks seem to want 20% down. Last deal fell thru at $23,700 after tax, customer had 10% down and a credit score of 680 and the bank said no. Still have one guy interested, his loan is approved but he works 14 hours a day?? I dunno what to make of him time will tell..

I'm with ya Phat. I'd probably like whalers more if so many of their owners weren't douchebags.
Same goes for Georgia football.

Best of luck with the sale Ridge, seems like a really nice one. It sucks trying to sell stuff these days.
