Suggestions for selling a boat

[iguana1]

Last winter I built a 16' Chris Craft from a kit. It was a fun project, but I only used the boat 3 times this summer. Having two small kids and with most of my inshore boating being aroudn fishing, clamming, etc it really isn't the most practical platform so I am looking to pick up a RIB for next year which I can also tow behind our express for family cruising.

So my question is what is the bet way to market this rather oddball boat? Craigslist? EBay? Especially if I am not interested in meeting with a bunch of tirekickers to move it.

Pic of boat attached. She has a 50 ETec, trailer and goes 40 knots if you have the nerve.....

Looks like you did a good job on the build. Have you tried posting it in the items for sale or boats for sale on this site? I friend of mine put his 23 ft cc on used boats.com I think and he sold it that way but it cost him some money to list it

Robja,

I have not listed it yet for two reasons:

1) Not sure how much to ask for it.
2) Afraid of listing it in a way where I can't deal with the responses as I am kind of limited on time right now.

Still kind of kicking it around to figure out what to do. Apprecaite the insight.

It looks like a boat that would sale to someone who lives on a good size lake. Kind of like a sunday drive around boat.

Nice looking boat.Were did you get the kit?I though of building one just for sunday runs on a lake I live on.

I recently had luck selling a boat on Craigslist. I had a bunch of calls and believe it or not the first person who looked at it bought it! WOW! Wouldn't it be nice if that was the case every time!!

I had great sucess selling my last boat on this site, when two separate boat brokers could not. If you really want to sell it, put it in the Canyon Club [Cape May] parking lot with a sales sign for a couple of weeks and it will be gone. There are alot of guys that would like a pretty little boat like that to buzz around in on weekends.

All - thanks for the info. I think I will sit tight until spring and then try craigslist and a couple other sites.
