I gotta say that at some point, SOMEBODY is going to get a smoking deal on an almost brand new boat.

Congratulations! I guess patience and persistance paid off.I hope you didn't have to drop your pants too bad!

I'm going to start another round of advertising of my boat now that the weather is starting to warm up and see if I can get any bites.

For some reason, that made me think of the Blood Sweat & Tears song (Bill's boat gone ... and Fire's boat arriving).....

"And When I Die"

And when I die, and when I'm dead, dead and gone
There'll be one child born, in our world to carry on, to carry on, yeah-yeah.

Seceret = Price says it all in today's screwed up market.

Congrats Bill, I knew the boat would not be up for sale very long.

Thanks guys.

I dont think there is any secret.
I will say that price is a huge factor now.

It took a while, and some luck to find the right buyer.

The buyer that finally bought it found it on Boat trader and contacted the dealer.

I don't know of a silver bullet.

Best of luck.

Bill
