I wanted to have $10,900 as the Buy-It-Now for most potential buyers, and for select others have that be the reserve/starting price. I have to incorporate PIA fees in there somewhere.

IMHO, that one is good for nothing but the engine and the trailer

I may be wrong....but that doesn't look like a $9k boat to me

Someone was looking for one of those a couple of weeks ago

Ok guys, opinions on what went wrong here?
I dropped my starting price well below the low NADA to $8,999.
I factor in the following outside effects:
gas @ $3.55/gal
expensive ARM home loans are hitting a lot of people already - sub prime, negative amortization etc...
few places to get good ski water
it's been salty - but I had internal engine pics to show how clean everything is internally

Obviously my price was higher than the market would bear, but I'd rather keep it than sell it for less. Since I'd be hard pressed to find an equal replacement w/o quite a bit of extra $. And I've done enough boat work for this year to want a project boat as a replacement.

Looks like I'm going for a long drive.

Ryan, I have NO idea why you aren't getting any bites. I know you don't want to drag the thing to Ohio, but dude, I'd just keep it. You've got a cherry boat there, the only thing I could imagine you wanting to get rid of it for would be to upgrade to EFI. I've looked at the boat a million times, but I'm just not in the market, not to mention, I'm in SC.

Put it on a truck and ship it. It could be cheaper than buying another one. Will any one take it on a trade if your looking to get a newer one? Try Chicago Mastercraft, Eric, see if he can do anything for you?
Also put it on Ebay with out a starting price, with a reserve. It seems to get people into the bidding war.

Take the buy it now off!

Also have it at no reserve. If it looks like it's not going to sell for what you think you want than have a friend put in a very high bid. Just my thoughts.
