I sold a 17' CC right before Xmas. Posted it in CL thinking nothing would happen, got 2 or 3 calls, first guy to look at it bought it, all happened in maybe 3 days, full asking price, which was just under KBB and in very good shape.

Re: Who has sold a boat this spring? How did it go?

I sold a 1978 Winner to a buddy three months ago. My in-laws borrowed it right before I sold it with my wifes permission while I was out of town :mad:. They hit something in the water and trashed the propeller. They also ripped a seats upholstery (it was fairly new upholstery). I was going to sell it for $1500 before that incident. Since my friend and I did not know if it had taken any drive damage I let him take it for $900. He put a new prop and it has worked fine. He runs the boat just about every weekend. The boat was old but it was in really good condition. He got a good deal because he was my friend.

I took a bath on mine. I paid 1300.00 for boat and trailer and sold it for 650.00. I then bought a boat for 4k that should have been 7500 so I feel better.

sold a real good 16' bass boat, ended up putting it on craigslist 2 or 3 times ( over a month period ) and didnt really push hard to sell it...had a few e-mails that never went anywhere, then the first guy that looked at it bought it...as long as the price is reasonable and its not junk it will sell, you just have to wait for the person that has the money...:)
