Advice on Selling a Boat

I bought a boat over the winter at Irwin Marine. They made it really easy, and hassle free.

We sold our boat a few years ago. We ran the ad on Craigs List at 10 PM on a Sunday; priced it realistically; it was gone within 24 hours of listing it. A couple of guys came down from New Brunswick. They told us all the boats up there have been run in salt water, so they looked around Winni to find one that would have been run in fresh water. They were tickled with the boat and we were tickled to have sold it so easily! We finally bought a newer boat a few weeks ago. We are desperately trying to find the time to get it in water so we can use it. Life is hectic!

Mine was posted on Craig's List last year for 72 hours before being sold to a fellow who came down from the Montreal area.

Tell you what, that day made me understand the popular saying... The best two days of being a boat owner are the day you buy the boat and the day you sell it!
