Default How to Improve sailboat value

It's simple. Talk it up and set up a website. True, my trolls probably
don't help, but most people ignore them and look for real info. My new
website (I know it's taking forever!) will really help in that regard.
When I sold Ghost there were 4 people waiting to buy her because of the
website. Paid 9K, sold for close to 14. Same with Alien, paid 16K
total, sold for 31K and more if you count the selling off of associated
gear.

NOTHING and I mean NOTHING aids the eventual sale of a boat as a long
running website. To this day I still get questions from prospective
Pearson 30 and C&C 32 owners.
I do like the hubris of ASA members who think anyone (but them) take
this site seriously. Now THAT'S funny. The truth is that your
association with me, willingness to engage in trolls and nasty
comments, put you on an even lower level.
Still I know when to be "real." When someone asks what I think of the
Express 30, I tell them it's a great boat, just not very attractive. If
someone asks about a Seidlemann, I'm quick to warn them off. Smarter
people do listen.
