I suppose some would think this is a strange new years statement, but I have finally sold my boat and all is finalized. I used a broker here in Jacksonville, Florida, Hansen Yacht Sales located on Lakeshore boulevard. It was worth the expense/10 percent brokerage fee to me. Took nine months.

If others are interested let me tell you boat prices are down, mine went for $77,500 minus the 10 percent and a $600.00 allowance for new batteries. Early model 2000-2003's just are not going for thee over 100k prices, lucky to get in the much over 90 range.

Boat survey and engine survey came out good, there were a couple of items on the boat survey, rudder packing nuts needed tightened, hot water flowed with a few spurts. but owner accepted this. everything else was great.

Took 5.5 hours for engine and generator surveys and they to passed. all compressions tests were in the 180-190 range. I had just under 700 hours on the engines and 686 for the generator.

Both surveyors commented on tis being one of the nicest and cleanest used 380's they had come across, to include the bilge.

It is a boat I enjoyed it while I had it and I did the "BOAT" dollar things, so time for me to move on. :huh:
 
Howard,

Was Mike Webster your agent? I had been watching but not quite ready to pull the trigger on a bigger boat. Congrats on the sale.

Congrats on the sale are you moving on? As in up? Down? Or out?

I am for the moment moving out. I may go smaller to some type of run about later, but if I do it will be an outboard. My wife has a pacemaker. defibrillator and prefers more land based activities, she just had an episode in Tampa about two months ago and was hospitalized for a few days. So for my part I am doing as estate planning, though up to me I have no plans to dirt nap anytime soon :wow:. I did not want her to have to deal with trying to maintain and sell a boat if something however does happen. I will be 65 in February and she is almost eight years younger then me, soooo....

Yes he was and did an excellent job, did everything all I had to do was sign the papers. He did the sea trial, demo rides, etc
 
Best wishes to you and the wife.
 
Well, someone is getting a great boat, and will hopefully enjoy it as much as you and your wife did. Best to you, in everything you set out to do!
 
Howard, Congrats on the sale,

Thoughts & Prayers send for Mrs Pseudomind. :smt001
