How To Sell My Boat

[HotDirk01]

I have decided to sell my 1982 360SRV. I don't really know where to begin and would appreciate suggestions on how to proceed.

We sold our 240 Sun Deck on Boat Trader. Cost a few bucks to make a listing, but it sold fast.

If you're willing to do it yourself and deal with prospective sellers Craigslist and boat trader are good options.

Boattrader or Facebook marketplace. There’s even a Facebook group of sea ray boats for sale. Ask a realistic price and have pics and info available it will probably still sell fast.

You can talk to a broker as well to learn/gather information; doesn't mean you will use them to sell it.

If you were able to login to this website, you have the capability to navigate boattrader! Take a bunch of pictures, check around for comparable sales and go for it.

Perhaps one other thought - when was the last time she was surveyed? If it's been a while you might want to have your own survey done before listing it. That way there's no surprises...

Agreed, and don't take random pics. Take a look at some online ads from brokers and mirror what they take. Videos are even better. And I don't want to see you, your wife, your kids, your buddies or your dog in the pics ;-)

*cough* scuse me! We always want wife pics.

You don’t see too many of those. I will be looking for the listing just for the pics.

Can't really help on the process but will note a couple of issues that 'chap my hide' when looking at boat adds, and will immediately prompt me to skip to the next boat.

1. An item without an asking price is not really for sale.
2. As proud as you may be of those paisley cushion covers and wall decor, no one will be impressed.
3. Nobody wants to see your coffee mugs, toothbrushes, or food choices.
4. The interior should be at least as clean as a Motel 6 parking lot.
5. The engine hours are not optional data points.
6. That mud in the bottom of your bilge is not a selling point.
7. Salt matters
8. Terms like "open checkbook" usually mean "I've spent to much $$$ keeping this boat afloat"

What am I missing? Why not list it here?

How do you like the boat overall? I am looking at an 82 310SRV Sedan
