Pics of all sections best when selling ...... inside cuddy, deck, transom, hull, helm station, motor, and all sides of hull etc.....good well lit pictures tell a lot of the story.
Ever see boat ads featuring boats loaded with leaves and such ? Run.....don't walk...unless telling the truth about a boat that's been idle and uncovered. |

Sold our "V" spring 2015. We did real well, got our price and the new owner loves the boat.
Price your boat where you feel it should be and hold for your price. People will pay for a boat in great condition. Your "sales pitch" should focus on what it would cost to get into boating when buying a comparable boat new vs your used boat. Understand though, you will have to "sell" your boat to prospective buyers. Gently lead them to logical conclusions regarding the value of buying your boat rather than other boats. Sell the quality of the "V" the wonderful design and the smooth dry ride. Get them out on the boat so that they can experience the ride. Then they will understand what you are talking about. Here is the link to my "for sale" thread here on WellcraftV20.com. http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...ad.php?t=20751 Best of luck with your sale!

I got the boat about 4 years ago and it needed a whole out outdrive. The guy who had it before me blew a huge hole in it so I got a good deal on it because of that. Scence then I replaced the outdrive and kind of brought it back to life so to say . so its worth more than what I paid for it

The EYE WASH sell's most boats. How many people go for a sea trial? In my experience any boat that sells for under $3000.00 in the 20foot range is going to have issues! You get what you pay for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also market is a big factor, west coast has probably the highest resale, followed by northeast, then south. i know I/O's are big up north, but down here, can't give them away. most are considered a donor boat for a bracket conversion.
in the end, somethings worth what you can get for it. i'm constantly amazed at what people will pay for things, both over & under what i would pay. |
