Selling my 1992 Pulse 211

Happy hour

I sympathize with you regarding the 'blue book' prices of valuing your boat and your own price....my Checkmate 185 Pulse BR is my baby, it is in excellent shape, has a brand new motor, runs perfect, no scratches or hull damage, but I have to remember that the hull is now 8 years old....so it is not as valuable as I know it really should be.....in your case, I think some people are a bit scared off as your engine and hull are about 13 years old now, double digits, and while you are the only one who truly knows how well kept it is, it almost doesnt matter in the eyes of others....sadly, it is an old hull and engine with lots of mileage on it....sad to think that that is exactly what others are saying, huh?

I truly hope you get your price of about 14, 500 but understand why you are thinking of possibly having to accept something lower than that...personally, I would price your boat around the 10 000 -11 000 range, but that's just IMO, and none of my business....

Best of luck selling,

B.P.
 
Thanks Black Pulse!
I have been advertising at the $10,000 range (with commission thats $9300- $9000 in my pocket)and have had little action. I regret to say that where it is now they are storing it outside

! Last year it spent the evenings and weekends inside at least.
I am bringing it home the weekend of June 4th and preping an ad for EBay.

The reserve will be low enough to be a great deal and be sure I sell it. I hate to see it just sitting around not being used at all. All the while I have owned the boat it did not spend more than 2 nights out. I always brought it out of the water, washed it and back in the garage to store it.
Let's hope I can get this boat a new home. If only my lake was little more friendly I would keep it but 21 footers are against the rules!

At the beginning of this message string there is a link to my yahoo profile which has some pictures of the boat. There are a couple in the "Picture This" forum also.
 
Hey I was just wondering if you ever sold your boat? I wanted to know what it sold for, I ended up buying an 88 starflite that I got for 5,000, it's not in as good of condition as yours but that's all the money I had to spend. I hope your boat went to a good home, shane
