Boat has a few dock rash areas that have to be addressed. Going to do complete hullsides(about same time/cost as spotting in and blending).
Question is, should I match original, or are the existing graphics outdated? Also, Boat is on the market, so my personal preference is not really relevant. Thanks

Have you had any interest in your boat? I think you listed it last September? I would think there would be more interest the closer summer gets. Was it brought to your attention that the dock rash was a reason not to buy? Can't see any dock rash from the pics so I'm not sure I would spend the money on any repairs and if I did, because it's for sale, I would keep with what's there otherwise you will end up doing what you like and that "design" may actually not be universally liked? How's the interior? You are in FL so I assume it also takes a beating.

Haven't had a single person view boat to this date.
Apparently, not a big market for a saltwater boat.
I thought my price was in the ballpark, but not sure now.
Im ops mngr at a marina, but also handle the in- house paint.
Boat recieved a couple spots rubbing against floating dock a couple weeks ago.

Well now that I know you what you do for a living, painting the boat sounds like a good idea. I'm sure you can come up with a paint scheme that is timeless and fits the boat. What exactly is the problem with buying a used salt water boat other than corrosion? Can you address these items with your boat so someone could buy with confidence knowing that after buying your boat, they won't be looking at huge repairs from salt water exposure? I'm going from memory but I believe you wanted it gone because you have another boat on order. What are you getting?

I've owned a 28 Velocity for a couple years. Wanted a boat to use while doing some upgrades to Velocity, so picked up the Powerquest at a great price from one of my customers.

Generally speaking the main reasons a boat doesn't sell are:
Many years ago a friend of mine had a PRISTINE Four Winns with a King Cobra in it...the boat was literally like new even though it was over 20 years old at the time.
He couldn't GIVE it away, sadly. No one wanted to fool with the KC. Anyway, the point being there's a reason your boat isn't selling, but I don't think it is because of any dock rash.
- price
- condition
- obsolete/hard-to-find parts

Must be price related. I haven't had any prospective buyers even come view boat at 25k.
What is the real number on a 2002 single engine 28 w/fwc 496HO? Is the Powerquest brand the issue, or is this type of boat sub 20k ?

Powerquest is a good boat, more known in Michigan area, location and salt might be the issue
