Default Selling my 260, need advice

Hello all! Been a while since I posted, but I need some advice. I have decided to sell my 260. I have it listed on Craigslist for a decent price, well below value with the trailer. I haven't been getting any hits on it though and I was wondering if it was the ad?

I am going to post it on the Offshore Only classifieds, yet I wanted to get advice on tweaking my ad beforehand. Please share some good advice if you can on making any ad changes.

Thanks in advance!

Nice Boat! Your Ad is Ok But add some stuff to the Title (Offshore, Fast Clean) Stuff to get some attention. Add some key words at the bottom ( Baja Cigarette, Scarab, power Play, checkmate ) of your ad so people looking for other boats will fine yours. add a motor pic and better pic's of the boat. I looks super clean Good Luck

Like mentioned above,just change the pictures. Add picture of the motor and drive. Picture of boat on trailer also would look better. Looks like a nice boat .

Definitely need a picture from the side as pointed out. The add tells folks what it HAS which is fine for those who already know WHAT a Velocity boat is. For those that don't, that's a problem. I edited some of the marketing description Velocity uses on their website that you might consider adding.

When it comes to high performance powerboats, VELOCITY is the proven leader in its class coming from over 35 years of technological breakthroughs and World Class Record wins in racing! Whether it is going fast or just enjoying the weekend with your family, the VELOCITY 260 is an excellent choice.

Good Luck!
