slapshot..... he asked me one question thru e-mail concerning the general condition of the boat, and i told him strait up what it needs. that was on day one. so he was watching the whole time i guess. came in last 30 seconds and got it.even sent him pics of the cracks here and there.
i think if you make the add more persolal { three kids, no time anymore, hate to see it go, blahh, blaa, blahh} instead of strait forward dealership style you'll get alot more interest.
everyone said i was nutz but i think the NO reserve helped me out too. because they knew that this boat was going home with "someone" at the end of the auction.
good luck with your sale.

Mike, congrats on the sale. Glad the "no reserve" worked out for ya. I may do that with mine. Did you get what you expected or more??? Just curious.

[thefishingfreak]

got more than i expected. shoulda listed it there all along.
you just gotta grit your teeth till the last ten minutes then hope for the best.

up under those bridges and see if it can catch fish.

Thanks, I took your advice and stuck it in there low with no reserve. Only one bid so far, got about 4 days to go. I am trying to get rid of my CT River jet boat that I just don't use much to justify parking next to the other boat. If anybody is looking for a freshwater bass style jet boat, its there a 17 foot Sylvan with a 55/35 suzuki jet.
