Boat has been listed since middle of April. Its a nice boat and I feel relatively fair priced. I have had maybe 3-4 calls on it, but nothing has worked out. Its on Boat Trader (All Areas, including internet), and HB...I thought about the Boat Brokers or on Eliminators used boat lot...Any ideas would be helpful???

Take it back where you bought it and see if they'll just charge a restocking fee...
Why don't you try and list it on Offshoreonly.com or put it on Ebay.
There's always Andy01 but I hear he's like an attorney... He gets 70% and you get 30%.

You may want to try.......
lowering your price.
If you're not getting any calls on it, then it's priced too high, or your advertising is not good.

I just looked up your post in the SPAM section. You will not generate any interest in a boat without posting at least a few pictures. It does sound like a nice boat, and if everything is billet or powdercoated, braided hose and anodized fittings it should look great in a photo. Go ahead and give the GPS top speed, since you have the big motor...

Sure Thing*:
1) List on Craigslist for 5-8K more than you want to get for it.
2) Relist it each week for $500-1,000 less than week before (be sure to leave previsou ad listed with the original price, and add some text about needing money real bad).
By the time 4-6 weeks goes by someone will think they are getting deal for thousands less than you were originally selling for and you're still getting it for more than you originally wanted, or about what you wanted. ;)
*I have not personally tried this but being a Craigslist Classified watcher like I am...I'm sure it works. ;)
