When To Sell A Boat.

[wajajaja02]

IS IT BETTER TO SELL BOAT NOW OR IN THE SPRING.
decided that I dont use and dont want to maintain my bayliner cuddy with the force 125 anymore. It will need a new floor next year. and I done fixing up the motor. didnt use it this year at all, used my 22 ft cruiser instead.
storing it is no problem, I could even piece it out and dump the hull on the back lot. what do u guys think?

I totally agree. I start looking after Labor Day for those outdoorsmen who want to get a new 4 wheeler for hunting season and realize they only used the boat for Memorial day, July 4th weekend, and Labor day. Sometimes you can find good deals.

Spring fever around here hits hard for some and they just have to do something after being 'cooped up' for the winter.

What your describing is a project or salvage boat it isn't going to gain any value at all by letting it sit for the winter. If you can find a willing buyer get rid of it.

yep, dump it. The market has been in the trash for 18 months, for anything but the pristine or rare vessel.

In the spring, there will be 3x the number of boats to compete with yours, and the market may be worse.
