There's interest. I brought it home early specifically b/c the guy had 'cash in hand' and wanted the boat 100%. Then of course, he doesn't...he thought he was getting a brand new mint 'barn find' for $2500...which I told him it wasn't before making the trip up.
So...then he flaked. There are more interested, but I need to change out the gear lube before I start it up. The blower and bilge also conked out after a wave at the meet last summer, so I need to fix that as well.

My thoughts, hold your price.
Seems more than fair to me, and the peak market for our machines is still 30 days off. It can be frustrating dealing with buyers but you have to understand there are a lot of tire kickers out there. I’d say 10% of your contacts are live buyers ready to move. Once on the property you simply have to close the deal, and that is an art in itself. Jovial, yet serious, at an early point ask the buyer if they have an offer? (No matter what discrepancies they find). At that moment you will find if they are a tire kicker or not. Be ready for a low offer . . . immediately reject it. And just like that they have committed to the buy, and it is just a matter of what the final price will be.
As odd as it is I find this game entertaining. The read of the buyer/seller of each other. If the other sides refuses to budge, slow the process, significantly, uncomfortably really. This gives each side a moment to think and realize what is at stake.
A couple days ago I sold a 2001 Honda 30Hp four stroke with the forward controls on Craigslist. The guy that bought it from me I think out smarted me. We were a few hundred off on the price and he simply, slowly, methodically outlasted me. I know I left a few hundred on the table because I wasn’t patient enough.
Best of luck.

Not supposed to use wire nuts for marine. Get a couple butt connectors. The wire nuts with vibration fall off.

Certainly a lot of ways to make the connections, solder/shrink, terminal block, molex, auto plugs, etc.... What I would question is why are there two sets of splices mere inches from one another? Just sets up another failure point.
37 years of fixin...

What did you use to cushion the jack on the hull with Jason?
Post by: Jason on April 30, 2018, 02:52:18 PM
Pretty scary lifting that monster up. You can feel all the weight is in the rear. Not much effort to lift the front end.
Thanks to a large pad on the rear of the boat you can lift the entire rear with one jack and a big block of wood.

Pullled the trailer forward enough to get two jack stands under the chines directly under the transom.
Then it's just alternating one jack to the next under the keel as you pull the trailer forward to get around each cross member of the trailer.
All the while having two 3 year old spotters to make sure nothing goes crazy......or to keep things crazy!!
I have it sitting on wood blocks in the back between the jack stand and tansom but nothing under keel as it's too tippy.
If I planned on having it sit this way for a while, i'd build a cradle like Shawn did to support the boat better.
Did the same thing to my CV16SS a while back.
