Boattrader always worked well for me, but one boat I didn't want to fool around with so I consigned it to Boaters Outlet in Upland and he sold it in a week. Of course I was selling a Hallett, you are going to have a little more of a problem...

I sold my Cig in 8 hours in the OSO classified section. Might be a different market for your boat though...

Trader, but be sure you/trader get the wording and spacing right so their search engine picks it up on perspective web searches (example Shockwave vs Shock wave).
When I am ready to sell I want it gone, so I double up in the paper as well as I would put it on other boards. NW powerboats, ***boat, I am sure there are a bunch. I was surprised at the people that called from the paper vs trader. But what do I know I am on Boat #12 :rolleyes:
Good luck

Don't know if you have tried yet. But I sold my Magic in the ***boat SPAM thread. Took about 3 weeks. Know of a couple of others sold via SPAM in less time. But you have to be patient and hope that that 'one' person frequents or has a friend who frequents ***boat Forums. The price has to be very attractive. Helps to have testamonials from friends on how nice your boat is, etc. Good place to start though. Good luck.

Spam section is good place. I sold my boat on the side road on highway 95 in front on the Ford dealer in town in Havasu in 24 hrs. Left there in day time only. Nice boat and will sell. good luck.
