I have had the boat on the site for over a week and I haven't gotten any reply good or bad, any thoughts on the boat, I have had over 300 hits, but no responce.

Maybe you put it in, but I missed it.

What shape is the deck and transom in? If they are good, make sure to play that up in the add.

Also, at least where I live in the Northeat, now through Jan is the worst time of year to selll a boat.

Good luck.

There have been, and still are, some great boats listed for sale on this site. Have a look at the other 20's, compare what they have going for them and what they are priced at, then look at your ad and see how it stacks up.

Not to give you bad news but if boat sales up there are like cars and houses down here... The market down here is stale so if you want a deal on a winter house on the gulf coast our property is having a " correction " is i think the word being used. Condos here should be getting realy ripe for picking as well...

The Market is week as was said in one of the post.I would look at what a new 150 outboard is going for and add that to your sell price and and think about if you would pay that for the boat.I have a friend that just bought a nice turn key 1979 23 that was listed on boat trader with all the goodys for $24000. he got it for $20000.00. the boat has a 250 four stroke yamaha warranty till 2009.Spring is not that far out,you may want to wait.It looks like a very nice 20. Good luck Keith

Thanks for all the information everybody, I knew the market wasn't that great but I wanted to get the boat out there and see what would happen, I hope it will sell soon.

The boat does have some soft spots in the rear deck where the two chairs were mounted. With a new motor the boat is good to go all I need is a buyer.

thanks

Just thought I would see if anyone was ready to make me an offer I can't refuse before the holidays. Any interest at all? Make me an offer.

Tough time of year to sell anything, especially a boat up north, spring will get you much more action I'm sure. Not what you wanted to hear but guys are more worried if you have enough firewood aren't you? Same thing in Fla though, boats get kinda dead then comes a couple 80' weekends in March and people stampede the dealers.

Hello,

Where are you located? Please email any other pictures and details on the condition of the transom. I see there is a plate over the transom.

Thanks,
