Everyone here knows I tried for months spamming my Cole on this site & every other boating forum I know about. I had it on Boat Trader.com for 4 months & had in the print Boat Trader publication for two months. All with no luck. Lots of tire kickers but no buyers.
Well I tried to put it on one other site http://www.boatxchange.com/search.cfm and the boat sold in two weeks. I got more calls from BoatXchange in two weeks than I got from Boat Trader in four months.
So just a heads up, it worked for me.
And if that site could help sell the Cole, I think it could help sell anything.:D

I thought a guy from RRL hooked you up to a friend who bought it?

OutCole'd - Glad it worked for you! The new version of the site went up on 4/1 and new listings are going up everyday. There's not a ton of inventory on there now but there will be eventually (I HOPE!)
It gets a ton of traffic because thanks to the google rankings. (check out a google search for used boats, boats for sale, used boats for sale, etc.). Glad someone found your boat on there!
Now I've just got to get my forum fixed on las vegas hot boats so we can post pics again!

A bit off topic but where is the best place to go to to sell an older truck. Auto Trader only lets you go up to 1984 or something.

You and everyone else that viewed my spamming.:D
The money is all gone, but I would be happy to pay the balance in beers to anyone that helped out.

No where near enough, I was just tired of spamming it on the boards. I am sure every one else was just as tired of it as I was.

No credit for all the hard work I did bumping that thread over and over.....sheesh.....
I am glad that part of your life is over, Bill now you can move on with your new boat. No more old boat looking at you lornfully in the driveway......wondering why it wasn't good enough for you anymore......sad.....so.........sad. Poor old Cole, it just didn't have that "Magic" did it?

Gotta admit, I sold my boat through boatXchange last year and I wasn't really trying - it was a sad sad day:frown: BUT, at least I sold the boat:cool:
