It goes like this..if your boat is worth less than 10k, you add a 1 to the front...so say it's a $3500.00 boat. add a 1 and it's now 13,500.00 an 8500.00 is now 18,500. and so on.....if it worth over 10k it's easy, you just go X2.... so a 20k boat is now 40k , 50k boat is now 100k....oh, and make sure you put,"NO LOW BALLERS" in your fuc'd up ad with blurry old pics....

30k boats selling for 50-60k. They will all be underwater. They don't realize what it actually costs to own a boat.

All these dipshits boating are the ones that belong on their vacations to Disney wherever etc.

I tried to buy 3 boats last week and they were all gone within hours of being posted. They were all overpriced as well. I said fuck it, I’m out. I’ll invest the money and buy when shit goes on sale. Or at this point I might as well spend 30K more and get a new one Instead of over paying for a 15 year old boat.

Always tell them "you can turn the key and go, I never had a problem". :cool:

I'm waiting until November or December to buy. Too hot to use it now anyways and dirt season is a couple months away. If prices remain the same, I'll just use my small boat do more sandbar days. It's just too crazy and when its this crazy, there is usually a steep downturn.

They put old blurry pics because those are from before they thrashed the boat😉
I take it you looked at some pricey gems recently 🙂

Dont forget the instant wax job, I mean still wet photos from the hose! Most even leave the puddle and wet hose in the picture for you! If you see it in someones drievway parked, you can assume it has lived its whole life outdoors in the wild!

That is valuable information Steve. But you didn’t go into the 6 figure pricing strategy. Can you elaborate on that a little bit? That might be the area that I am looking at since V’s are 75k and decks are well over 100k And a guy has to be able to go 150mph in Parker to show them how to properly boat down there. :LOL:

Funny I have been looking for 2 different types of boats...first is a jet or a small wacker to use upper river area from my house, second is some sort of deck boat/pontoon...everything I have seen in both categories are way over priced for what they are so just going to sit it out until the market tanks again and buy something for 1/2 price.... :)

I have two pontoons because I want 2 pontoons,... and so far I want them more than anyone else...I don't need to sell them to do what I want.. and when I don't want the toons... they'll be gone... might even give them to Debo and his brother...doesn't make sense to give them to strangers now does it...

Exactly hahaha! I know what I have, but I can't post an accurate add or tell you anything about the boat.

Always garaged! Don't mind the discolored sun tanned upholstery, yellowed, gauges, and switches!

He lowered it to 55k. Only another 15k to get to a reasonable asking price.

Your closed deck 255 would be a 35k asking. So you would be up 5-8k, but 3 years of maintenance and if you were paying to store it.

I scratch my lil peanut head daily!

When I see people trying to sell their high dollar shit.
Using 2 crappy old "stock" pictures they already had and a 2 sentence description of the item.

Same here. Different if you are selling a 14 ft aluminum boat with a 9hp Tohatsu.

When you want 120k for a 15 year old Magic Deck with a 496 and 500hrs, you best at least know how to take pics and write a description.
