Thinking about selling my boat...

[Squirtcha?]

Sorry to hear about the situation Randy.
As for the boat..........I really hate to say it, but for comparison's sake, there's this Advantage for sale that runs close to your speeds, is in similar condition (great), and he's asking $14,700 and still waiting for a buyer.

If I remember right that'd probably barely cover the cost of your motor alone, but it's the harsh truth I'm afraid.

Unfortunately I've had no luck either. I've got almost 30 grand into my boat and can't even get anyone to look at it for half that much; it's clean, it's fast, and it's reliable - I don't understand what the problem is. I wasted away two summers building it; if I would have bought it like it is now, I would have saved hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars.
Good Luck,
Brian

This is mighthy early in the Fall to think about selling your boat!!! You may want to think about this a little bit. The best value to sell is Spring.... and by then maybe your senses will come to you..... Think about this.... Do you like your boat? Will you ever have the opportunity to put together a deal like this again?
Think about it a few weeks prior to sell. Sure looks like a nice deal!
Just some thoughts from an oletimer!

He will have hundreds of opportunities to do it again!....Its just a boat.....Life's circumstances are constantly changing and evolving...Sometimes priorities shift.....there is ALWAYS a deal out there.Cars, boats,toys of any kind....and if he sells this one ....and better times are down the road....he just might end up with something he likes better for less of an investment........Boats are not an appreciating asset......Its just part of the deal...

Sorry to hear about that Randy. Hope you find a new gig so you can keep your stuff.

Sorry to hear about your situation Randy. I was out of work for almost six months and it really hurt.

DNE Motor: 496ci tunnel ram motor that was featured in Hot Boat OCT 2003. Made 731 HP @ 6300rpm with Hyd. Roller Cam. on 91 octane. Motor now has new Mech Roller cam with .714 lift, and new firing order. New lifters and Push Rods as well as stud girdles. This motor was just checked out by DNE and everything is top notch and it's still a strong runner. Perfect as it sits, or you can add Alum. heads and really make some power with current setup.
dude, quit lying about your engine, I heard you have way more HP than that from someone who knows absolutly nothing about your boat, but it must be true.

Boats can be replaced. You want that 22 with wackers anyway. I know what you are going through. Was out of work for a year and half a few years back and trying my best to do river trips. Had to let the boat go. Its tough but toys are toys.
