That is an absolutely beautiful setup! You should have no problem getting rid of that one.


Go there? Hell, I'd eat there!

Thanks!  Last I counted, I had spent about $60K over the past 14 years, most of it in the last 5 years.

The problem I seem to have is finding people with money!  I had it "sold" on 3 separate occasions now, but when it came down to payment, 2 people dissappeared and the 3rd needed to sell something or get a loan or some other crap.  I am about ready to donate it to the Boys & Girls club and take a tax write off! (not really)

I am gearing up for a hard marketing campain starting Feb 19th.  It will list on eBay, and I will put it in several editions of the boat trader, and I will try to hit most of the online "traders" along with posting in the forums I know about.

I have it curretly listed on HotBoat for $18K.  I am gonna send them a correction to drop it to $15K.  On eBay, I have a starting bid of $12K with no reserve - and a buy it now price of $15K.

It has always been for sale!  I am just trying to make sure that I am not falsly advertising.

Reality is that I probably wont sell it.  But it keeps the wife happy by advertising it. :D

The problem is that many people find it a reasonable price.  But, many people don't have the cash - and you can't finance a 1972 boat.
