V-drive Flattie Not Selling?????

[Fhat Cat]

I cannot believe I am having such a hard time selling my Sanger!! Are the boats just out of style?? Or is it like me, everyone is getting a bigger blown boat.
Or are the V-drive fans just
fading away towards Jets!! :confused:

[FlatRat]

It's better to burn out than fade away.

5500 or best offer less engine..just drop in a motor and go......okay so am I just to proud thinking it would have sold by now (late DEC)or that it is a way clean ride. everything is new or has been gone thru... cassel with whirlaway new bassetts all stainless or crome hardware.
what ya think.....

[GofastRacer]

Nice boat man, can't imagine why you ain't sold it yet!... :cool: :cool:

[Fhat Cat]

maybe I am asking to much for her??? Do you think I could sell it faster if I just part the boat out (bare hull and trailer, sell off all the hardware and parts, vdrive and stuff) I am not sure what to do. I really need the space have a new project(Howard Cat) and need to start working on the new boat.......

[Sleek-Jet]

How much for the entire package (engine and all)??

[Hud]

Just hang on! As soon as weather gets a little hotter, that boat will be sold. Its a nice boat and the price is right! Just my 3 cents. :D

[Fhat Cat]

Sleek-Jet:
How much for the entire package (engine and all)?? I already pulled the engine out But I can reinstall....10,500 or best But would rather keep the engine. But if the $$$
are right I'd sell the entire package.

Summer is coming...It will sell, there are plenty of peeps that catch the "V-drive fever" Just really need the space..I have stored it inside always but I just brought a 26ft cat and cann't keep both inside! So I wanted to sell it before I had to move the flattie outside in the weather.
It is just one option to part it out. Thought someone from up north would have been intrested in it by now seeing how norther CA has the V-Drive fever !!!

[25Elmn8r]

That is the exact boat I am interested in. :D Just bad timing! cry cry

[Fhat Cat]

Well I am just going to wait ti out and sell the boat without the engine. I moved it out side this weekend with a over on it and took out the seats and vdrive cover. Hope that helps keep it clean until it sells.......

[superdave013]

maybe your price is high. 10K complete is about what it sold for brand new. It might have been even less, not real sure.
Anyway here is what you're competing against.

Anyways think about it I am not selling the boat with engine and I am asking 5500 or Best plus lots of extras so all someone would need is a 454 ...you do the MATH....

Anyways think about it I am not selling the boat with engine and I am asking 5500 or Best plus lots of extras so all someone would need is a 454 ...you do the MATH.... I did the math. A running sanger for 6k obo. might be able to get it for 4,500, who knows.
I sold my hondo (race ready) less engine for 4,500. It even had a bitchin Dick Vale paint job. Was a very clean peice.
Your sanger looks very nice but it would not make a good race boat at all. And the days of it being a good river cruiser are gone now too. So that's why I say your asking to much. Sorry but to me it looks like the v drive fans are not fading towards jets. They are fading towards 26' cats. You do the math.
But hey, stick to your guns. Some Sanger fan will come along and just have to have it.
What year is that brand new boat anyway? Looks like it's a 69 or older to me.

GEEZ SD don't be rough on the guy, It's a really clean looking boat and i'am sure if he holds on long enough that someone will will want it.
For some reason like you said flats are kinda hard to sell these days.
I can see his point that he needs to get it sold because he has no room for it.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/246_9bigger.gif
I have my Sanger Circle boat up for sale also and have had alot of calls about it but it seems that no one really has the money
$7800 turnkey if you know of anyone interested

[superdave013]

My intent was not to be mean about it. Just realistic about it. Pick up a So Cal boat trader and see how many flats are for sale now.
His sanger is super clean. He posted some pics of it awhile back that showed all the s.s. hard lines and such. Very nice install.
Just think about why river flats are hard to sell these days. Maybe it's because the size of the ave. boat is now 24' and bigger?
Try to run a flat at parker on a typ. saturday afternoon. If you don't sink it you will beat yourself and the boat to death.
Hey, I miss the good old days as much as everyone. To bad they are gone.

[Fiat48]

Like the car salesmen say "There's an ass for every seat." Or was that "Never leave a dollar on the table." Something like that.
Flats are a small market. Doesn't make much sense to own one. Just us crazys! :D

What year is that brand new boat anyway? Looks like it's a 69 or older to me. Some good points....Its a '72.. I was hopig to get at least 4000. to 4500 for her. I was also including the new bassett headers all the ss hoses, all the custom engine mounts and rails, whrilaway, extra gears and more. But your right I went to the bigger boat for comfort and space for the family. I was just going to keep it for the good old days and because I only took it out twice after the restore and love the way it turned after the new steering system was put in but it would end up just setting.
I'll just wait it out, maybe throw in another engine and take it to some vdrive bashes & Ming and throw a for sale sign on her.

[superdave013]

Try the Long Beach swap meet too.
Oh, if you want to sell those extra gears let me know. I'm a slut for gears.

[Fhat Cat]

Well it still has not sold yet...SO I guess I should lower my price, 4500 or best, I am renewing the ad in boat trader this morning with new price.
Maybe with the price I will get more responce.

I agree with Dave's comments. But like I said earlier, I think your boat will sell sometime after June. I am always surprised about the number of "newbies" that show up to V Drive events and catch the bug....
Good luck. It is in very good shape.

I had my litchfield runnerbottom advertized on the net for 5 years @$3800! BB Olds/t-400/tandem trlr/ full cav with down pedal and locker handle/ 9 degree shaft angle/ casale parallel split case (18%od) Just needed some spiffing up, a battery and fuel system cleaned up to run. I had some casual inquiries including a litchfield fanatic that he'd be interested if it was priced under $1500.I even tried e-bay without recieving one bid!I sold it yesterday to a Swedish guy for $3300. The advertized pricing suggests that flatbottoms are worth a lot more, but are they actually selling near the asking prices? From my experience, the sum value of the parts far exceeds the value of the whole thing, especially if your next project is another v-drive boat!

I can't understand why your boat has not sold yet. There is always someone out there looking for a good deal on clean Sanger flatbottom.
I just sold my Sanger Flat last night to a guy in Mississippi for only a couple of hundred less then what i was asking for it and he's going to pay for the shipping to get it back to him from here in Nor Calif. ($1800)
I put a free ad on ***boatSFORSALE.COM and it sold in one week
