In a normal marketplace, your boat would have sold a long time ago. It is a very nice Flame. However, even at 80K most people will have to go to the bank. You need 20% and a 700FICO to get a boat loan due to the high default rates in recent years. I'm sure alot of your tire kickers had captain's dreams and/or good intentions. Then they went to their bankers, and
got a reality check.
My buddy Butch is selling his jet boat for a LOT less. Should be/could be a cash deal. It's smokin' fast and in excellent condition. It would take at least $30/35K to put it together now. He's asking half that. He's finally got one serious customer. It's just that kind of market. Hopefully things will come back around. If we weren't getting gouged so bad on gas, it would come back faster.
Good luck none the less. You have a great boat and whoever ends up with it will be enjoying it for years to come.
Best Regards,
Steve
