Actually, they are worth a tad more down in alabama. You can check ebay and Craigslist and stuff to see what they are going for in Yankeeville. Then add a bit, as they are rare here, and people want them. Up in Yankeeville, they are for sale on every corner, as a bass boat would be here. If you market to the right crowd - one that is down here, and knows about how good quality these boats are, you shouldn't have any trouble selling it. There are plenty of folks in GA who love em, but can't find them locally. The key is marketing, and more marketing.

Use Craigslist, and word of mouth. That just means telling a friend, or boat mechanic, or marina owner. Sellers often tell marina owners, and potential buyers know this, and often times contact them. Also, you could get little fliers with tear off phone #s at local grocery stores, feed stores, boat supplies stores, and especially local tackle shops.

I would start out on Craigslist.org, and include pics and details, and if no hits in 2 or so days, put fliers out. I would also go ahead and tell a few people about it, as that takes practically no effort on your part. And, setting up a Craigslist ad takes literally about 5 minutes and is free. If no hits in 2 or so days on Craigslist, then possibly look into the fliers at stores and such. Then, if nobody local has enough brains to realize they want it, throw it on ebay. It gets a lot of views, and even someone 3 or so hours away would have no trouble going to get it.

Good luck!

You got any pics of it? I don't know of anybody who wants it, but, on the off chance I do stumble upon someone who does, I could show them. Plus, I just like seeing pictures of peoples boats. Especially Lunds.

I have been watching your ebay ad. You need more pictures than that. People want DETAILS. Get a few from in the cabin, get some from the engine compartment. Get them from all angles inside and out. The fact that you are a seller with 0 transactions under your belt and are not giving many pictures/details, may have hurt you a bunch.
ESPECIALLY since you have 0 transactions, you should have given as much detail as possible. But, for all we know, you just may get something. Never can tell till the end.
