Bought it October 2012, and selling already? Find another good deal on a bigger boat ? Good luck in selling .

PHEW!! That's a good return.

Good luck with the sale! You definitely got a great deal when you bought the boat and it is very loaded. Do you have pics that you can post links to here? Is the engine the GXi? I know a couple of people that are thinking about getting into that size of boat.

Unusual circumstance led me to buying it, basically was too good of a deal to pass up. 3 hours to the slip, the only local place is Alum Creek and it's kind of a small lake and you have to enter a lottery to get a slip. Not getting nearly the use out of the boat for the cost of ownership. I love it when I'm there, but can't get there enough.

I did quite a bit of price checking on line, for the low hours, condition and features I thought it was a good selling price.

It is the GXi. I can email pics, never posted pics on here. It really looks nice, I spend a lot of time cleaning and waxing. The upholstery truly looks like it's a new boat. Let me know if you want some pictures. Finders fee if you can get me a buyer!

Good luck with the sale. I listed by '04 268 for about the same price, settled quite a bit less than that, but sold it for more than I bought her for. Very nice boats.

I'm hoping the condition, amenities and low hours will get me close. Can you offer any suggestions on marketing venues? I did put an ad in Boattrader.

Craigslist can be good for attracting local interest. Try putting up flyers at your marina, also if your marina has a Facebook page, post it there too.

I've had great luck with eBay and craigslist.

I didn't think I'd have much luck with CL for a asking price >100k but it did generate some occasional inquiries. Ultimately I had a buyer call me last week and pretty much buy my 338 sight unseen via CL. Fortunately I had a clause with my broker allowing a private sale. I just saved a pile of $$ in comission fees. G/l!

Comment deleted by mod. If you're not going to buy it, no need to make negative comments.

Nothing so far from Craigslist. Several inquiries from boat trader, two seem serious. Have to go up Sunday and replace the AC water pump, one of the parties is supposed to meet me Monday. I haven't had any negative comments about the price, missed Ric's deleted comment though...

May drop the advertised price 2k if things don't work out Monday.
