I have a lovely CXV17 that I'd rather sell to a person than do a trade in. I need a bigger boat, and so this one has to go. I'd like to start out asking $2500, but I'll be very flexible on the price, because if I don't sell it, it will be traded in and I know I wont get hardly anything for it.
SS Prop, Keel Guard, new CD radio with ipod hook up (old style not the new iphone 5 or newer style), toss in fenders and line, can keep Marine radio (will remove if I have to trade in), new plugs and stator last year. Have new water pump but its still in the package (genuine merc), roller trailer, great running boat. newish battery as of 2 or 3 years ago.
Solid floor, solid transom. Been garage kept for its whole life as far as I can tell, and the past 4 years I've owned it it has never been outside unless it was seeing the water.
Help it find a home! I haven't pulled it out yet for the year, but I will be shortly to fire it up. Great boat, hope it finds a good home. I'd keep it but I have no room for it :(

I need to get you some more pictures but here it is on the island in Hudson.

Man I wish it wasn't so far away, this boat is calling my name! ::)
-
paypal him the $$$ and i will meet you with it at rathbun
-
Would you really do that for me Joe?
-
I can test drive it for a few days Mark ...
Just to make sure it's in tip top shape ... of course ...
-
Very kind of you Gregg. I've sent DJ a PM message, might need somebody to go check it out for me? He's close to you guys right? I'm giving this some serious thought........I miss my GT-150 - and would be glad to unload the projects I have in the back yard for this one that appears to have some more useful life in it before it needs gone through!
-
I am in Hudson. Very close to Lake Mallalieu. It has current tabs, and would be all set for a test drive. I would LOVE for this boat to go to someone who would appreciate it. Let me know what I can do I'll be very flexable as much as possible.
-
Would you really do that for me Joe?
prob get heck from Laurie as we would both need to drive, or do a trailer back to back thing but what the heck.
-
I probably could meet you in Clear Lake Joe before Rathbun too...
-
I'm a motivated seller. I'll be honest and fair to anyone. I'm not trying to sell this thing as something it is not. I've had a lot of tire kickers, but no one that is ready to buy. Thats ok, if I could sell to one of you, I see its condition only getting better, if it goes to craigslist or one of these others, its condition will get bad, and rapidly I'm sure....
Save a Carlson! :)
-
I'm in Hudson too. Lake Mallelieu is my test drive lake and is only 5min from my house. I'd be happy to look at it for you Mark. Even test drive it as I have yet to get on the water.

Jason, I'm thinking I've met you before as you were dumping onto Mallelieu. You were towing your green Carlson with a black crown vic? We were testing out my father in-law's boat he just had bought and were coming out as you were dumping in, so I didn't have this boat with me at the time but I stopped and talked to you a bit about cgoamn/classic glastron sites and get togethers, which you knew more than I did.
Your boat was super clean and very nice.

Yep, that was me. I remember that day. Small world. Sure you don't just want to keep that beauty?

I really do want to keep it, but no room... :( I've even checked out how much it would cost to rent a 10x20 storage, but in the end its really not worth it.
I've already bought the other boat, and that is sitting at my mother's house until this one finds a home... I really want to find it a good home vs someone who will park it in the weeds under a tree uncovered for years and let it just rot away...
-
I appreciate the offers guys, but the Admiral is playing her "Chief Medical Officer" badge. Even running up to IA is a long trip when you are on dialysis three times a week. I'll keep working on her but it isn't looking good at this point. I know better than getting my hopes up before checking with her, she's been my rock to lean on throughout all the mess I've been through in the last couple years.
-
Bummer, sorry to hear that Mark.
Well, its open to anyone who is interested... Flexible on the price, lets get this out of my garage and into yours!

Made new Craigslist ad: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/boa/5039129082.html (http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/boa/5039129082.html)
New pictures added....
I'm willing to get very flexible on the price with you guys, we can even start talking prices that will make it such a good deal, you wont have to clear it by the wife... I wont get offended, at worst I'll simply say I can't go that low. Feel free to PM me if you want to make an offer.
She needs a good home... Help her find one...

I sent you a pm Mark
Terry
-
It's the right time of year ... and your price is very good ... I think it will sell pretty fast ...
Do you have it on the Wisconsin CL ?
Wish I had $2500 and a two boat rule ...
-
Thanks, hopefully it will go. I hate selling things, but hoping the right guy will happen to drive by and see it...
-
I've sold a lot of cars on CL and most of them I've sold on the Eau Claire CL. Might be worth a shot. Good luck.
-
Understood. It is now in the WI Craigslist as well. http://eauclaire.craigslist.org/boa/5039835696.html (http://eauclaire.craigslist.org/boa/5039835696.html)
-
I'm hoping to get ahold of mark and get him this boat
Terry
-
I'll give you a call this afternoon Terry, thanks!
-
Let me know guys, I would much rather see this boat go to one of you on here. I'll do what I can to help make that happen. Mark seems like a perfect home for one!
Also, it will be much easier for me to get a hold of someone form here if I forget I have something for the boat and need to mail it to you. But for sure will toss in the extra pump and rams, I believe there are extra lines in there as well. Has a ski boom that goes with it, the cover is shot IMHO but still works to keep water out, but those are cheap enough if it needs to stay outside for long term. I'm sure I'll think of more stuff that I need to toss in that isn't in the boat... OH! I have some extra gauges I can toss in that I was going to install but never got around to, water temp and electric power.
-
I don't know if I've said this anywhere or not already, but both trailer and boat have clear titles, and the trailer has perm mn reg.
-
So Terry, were you able to beat Mark into agreeing to take this boat as his own yet?
Mark, is there anything I can do to sweeten the pot?
Its going to be another sunny day today, so hopefully get some more lookers at it. I want it to go to one of you guys, but in the end, I just need it to go. Its currently sitting at my mothers front yard and can't stay forever there, so I really need to start increasing my sales game!
-
I'm sure there's a few people that could store it for you, as long as you left the keys in it ...
Sorry ... I'm not being very helpful ...
-
lol! Well, if they have the room for it I'm sure we could work out the financial side of it..
I take credit cards too! ;D
-
Hello DJ I spoke with Mark on Monday, and he's not going to be able to purchase the boat. Sorry!
Thanks,
Terry
-
Ahh, thats a bummer. Well, does anyone want to make an offer on it before I start aggressively start trying to sell the boat?
Anyone?
-
Sorry DJ, hope I didn't hold you up on this. Terry I do appreciate your efforts, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
-
No problem. I thank you for your interest! If something changes and I still have it, let me know, we'll work something out!
-
Don't panic.
We are not at the peak sales point for these boats for the summer yet. These are warm weather boats and will sell better as the water warms up. It will happen.
-
I suppose you're correct, I just hate having to sit on it while waiting. I did ok it to stay at my mother's front yard a little while longer.
-
Tons of Tire kickers keep coming around to look. Lets get some offers from here! No one has actually made an offer yet, just ask a lot of questions...
Am I asking too little? Do you think that is scaring people away? Or could be the price point its at, too much for people who want a cheap boat, and not enough boat for people willing to pay a few grand...
-
Let the temps warm up. It will sell.
-
I think my biggest complaint is that its sitting outside, and I have to rely on someone else to cover it and take care of it as its not at my house...
I wonder if it would be worth covering it and storing it for a little longer until temps warm a bit more... poor boat is sitting outside, at least once I know it got rained on.
-
I should buy that, it could be his big brother....
-
If you want my opinion, I think you should buy this boat.
If you're serious, pm me and we can mull over some numbers to get you interested. I don't like having to keep it at my mothers, so I'd like to find it a home.
-
I can't break the the two boat rule...would love to have a matching 17, but the wife would kill me, you will get it sold it will gone before you know it...
-
I could have my wife talk to yours about how sweet of a deal this is...
But really, completely understand. If there is a way to make the pot sweeter and the wife will understand, let me know!
-
I want this thing to start to move, I'm getting a lot of tire kickers, but no one taking it home yet...
I'm coming down to $2000, and will be making a craigslist ad for this weekend on thurs/fri to see if it will move. So if that turns any interest in here, please let me know asap so I can get you first dibs.

Back up on Craigslist: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/boa/5080194749.html (http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/boa/5080194749.html)

Alright... $1800... Its gotta go!
-
Oh man, it was awful, was showing the boat lastnight, and everything that could go wrong did. It all happened at once. Guy was super interested to buy the boat, so first things first, I figured let me go out and get it ready to start and put the muffs on it and all.. First ding, the battery is dead... Crap, go grab the charger, see if I can't get some life back into it. After charging for a bit I want to see if I can get the trim down... Nope the trim is spinning like it has air stuck in it. (it actually did this 2 seasons ago, brought it into the shop that did the stator, and they said it must have had air in it because it was working again without doing anything, so I know I can get that going) Crap.... Ok ok, I'll try running it as it sits, start to prime the bulb, line squirts gas... What the hell, go look at it, my fault here, the line is so old its hard as a rock and cracking, damn! Cut the line put back in enough to get fuel flowing, try to start, battery and charger not pushing enough amps to crank fast enough to wake the ol girl from her beauty rest...
Just crap, it never rains it pours... So now I gotta get all this stuff fixed and work on the boat to sell it... I'm starting to kick myself in the ass for not just trading it in... I'm thinking I'll start taking offers of anything over $1k just so I don't have to deal with it anymore.... I figure if I get at least $1k+, thats what I would have gotten with trade in and tax off of the new buy... I'm just tired of dealing with the sale, and honestly I haven't even had to deal with it that much, but I'm throwing in the towel...
If no one wants it in its current state as it sits for that price, I'll have to fix and repost again...
I've tossed it up on craigslist for $1200
-
I did some research on battery's few years back, this one gets good reviews and is cheap.

I can copy and paste the T & T bleeding steps from the manual if you need them.
-
I actually have another starting battery and everything.... We'll see, if it doesn't go before the weekend I'll start working on it... I just don't have time to do anything during the week...
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate the offer to help, but at this point, I'm just starting to get sick of the boat... And want it gone... Its becoming more of a headache than I wanted to deal with. I thought it would have sold a lot faster, or at least had more interest... I didn't even get low ballers offering on it which was odd, I've never not even had low ball offers come in..
-
Well then, have I got a deal for you! :D
Honestly, if I didn't have the B, we'd be talking. Beautiful boat...I'm sure it'll sell.
-
CL ads are all gone
-
Sale is pending. I removed the ad's because I'm getting swamped with emails. I will follow up in here once I have more.
-
It was nice to meet you today Nick. I think (hope) both the buyer and seller are happy.
-
I'm happy its got a good home to go to for someone. Glad it didn't go to someone who would just beat on it for a year then scrap it.
Very nice meeting you today I'll be in touch when I find those other keys.

Thanks

Thanks again Ross. I hope you get out on the water soon on her! Please do feel free to contact me anytime if any questions come up and I will do my best to answer. I'm almost sure I know where that key is, its at my father's house, so next time I stop over there I will go digging for it.
-
congrats Ross !
im so glad this boat found a good home

Congrats Ross, just getting caught up on the action been on vac for a week.
