Heheh. I had a fellow offer me 80% of my asking price. After I stopped
laughing, I told him no. He called back after I had sold the boat and

Awwwwwwww.


I sold the older Contender for about $10K less than I paid for it. I
sold the last Contender for exactly what I paid for it. $300 less
than I paid for the Princecraft.

It all depends on the buyer and what the buyer is looking for.

It wouldn't surprize me if I took the Ranger down south with the FICHT
on it and get what it's really worth. Bay boats just don't sell up in
this area for a variety of reasons.



Indeed. I see no reason to fulfill the wet dreams of the boating
equivalent of tire kickers and fantasy shoppers.
