Am I right? If you buy a Beneteau, do you just need to plan on owning
it for life?

Beneteaus (Beneteaux?) sell differently in different markets, I think.
In the North-east U.S. and here in Lake Ontario, they are very common
as both cruisers and club racers (even).

Or, am I wrong? If so, then why is no one interested in my boat?

I can't address the specifics of your boat, but I would say: shouldn't
your broker be answering this? Maybe you are asking five grand too
much, or maybe your local market is depressed, or perhaps it's a Texan
thing involving a dislike of the French. Beneteaus aren't *bad* boats,
and if I had to have one, I'd keep it coastal, like Catalinas, Hunters
and whatnot, which are all rated "offshore", but oh, please....G

Perhaps you should monitor your listing in YachtWorld...you are there,
right? See if similar Beneteaus are selling in the same price range,
and WHERE they are selling. It might pay to move the boat to a better
marketplace.
