When I went to look at that Master Marine today, I talked to the
marina owner who told me all the boats up on the hard for sale had all
been there for more than two years and he really hoped I liked this
boat because it had been for sale for three years.

I'm casually looking for a used Four Winns Fling-type jet boat for our
kids to use when we "old folks" are out w/ our Carver. Called a Great
Lakes' dealer earlier this week on a posting he had on the Internet.
During our conversation he mentioned that the boat had been sitting in
their inventory for over two years! I'm thinking a snowy day in late
November might be a good time to make an offer!

If you can get an owner who is reasonable. Some of these owners don't
want to sell any less than 1% under their asking price.

But to give you another example, I decided a two months ago that if I
couldn't find another boat in the 23/24 foot range that I liked, I'd
sell my 2000 20' Ranger CC and buy a new 2300 Ranger.

My 20 footer has been for sale for two months, has had over 3,000
views on boats.com and not a bite.

Here's the kicker - T-top, full electronics, trailer, up-to-date
engine mods - it's up for $18,500 - I'm giving the freakin' thing
away.

3000 views and not a bite. None.

If I can't sell that Ranger for $18,500 (that's a dump it figure also
- it's insured value is $26,000), there's something wrong.

Later,

Tom
