Yeah- I do need some more pics. I hope to post them soon. I don't really have to sell it, so I am not planning on a fire sale but I do have a little room to move. Maybe things will pick up in the spring. In the mean time I will just keep enjoying it.
Thanks for the feedback-

why not dump it cheap, fire sale it, then go steal something else. with cash in hand you can have your pick. why wait for months or years dealing with tire kickers and people who will just beat you up anyway. put it up cheap, sell it and go buy something else CHEAP.

you have a good point... low market (sell for 80k buy for 115 k) or high market (sell for 95 k buy for 130 k), if you have a boat to sell to buy another one, only the difference between the 2 matters, and in both cases, that difference is probably going to be about the same...

the only winner is in fact someone boatless since 1 or 2 years, and now snap the low price...

LET'S ALL DROP OUR PRICE SO WE CAN MOVE ON!!!!!

Doesnt anyone knows that we are in a deflationary period? In fact the early stages of a depression - no - not a recession. Everything is crashing in price! But sellers still have high expectations and the longer they hold the more they will lose. This deflationary period will last at least 8-10 more years. Its better to sell it now at a small loss than selling at a huge loss later down the road. Unemployment is actually at 20%! Hey the warnings signs are there - open your eyes dummies

It is the end of the season so there is no motivation, many hope prices will be lower in the coming months(I hope not). Banks don't want to loan money for houses let alone boats. High performance boat owners tend to be business owners who are worried about keeping their business afloat. I do believe anyone looking sell and repurchase can make up their loss in the purchase price of their new rig. Anyone looking to get out from under their boat right now will most likely not be happy with the selling price. I have gone back and forth with selling and buying something newer, but for me I can't justify a $150,000 boat now with my other toys and hobbies in the current economic situation. So I am painting my boat and thinking of adding some new heads. The boat should go 80+mph look good and be paid for. But I still find myself in the classifieds once a week

Any thoughts from those in the know?
Thanks-
