How to Sell a Sea Ray Boat

by Mark L. To write is to love.

Owning a boat is one way to increase the enjoyment time you and your family has outdoors. However, there comes a time where you might have to sell the boat for a number of reasons. So the question here is how do you go about selling a boat.

The very first thing you should do is do some research into how much your type of boat goes for on the second hand market, while also factoring in the amount of use and abuse your boat went through over the years. A sea ray boat for sale in Ballast Point Yachts San Diego that only went out on the water during the weekends of summer with just you and your spouse will get a different price then a boat that was used from April to October almost every day by your whole family.

The second thing you should do is to decide what kind of advertisement you are going to be taking out. One of the easiest ways to advertise is to take out an ad in the ad pages of the local newspaper. Another route one can take to showcase a boat for sale would be to track down magazines that specialize in boats or boat related activities (like sport fishing magazines) these magazines, like newspapers, also have advertising spaces for people who want to buy and sell things, but the added appeal to taking out a magazine ad is that you are putting a fat juicy worm in front of a very hungry fish. People who are in need of a boat will more likely look in the ad section of a fishing magazine then they would the local newspaper. The magazine ad rates cost the same amount of money as those for the newspaper.

When working on your ad be sure to state if the new owner is expected to come pick up the boat or if you are going to bring the boat to the new owner. This is important as the last thing you want to get is an angry call from the owner asking why the boat isn't at the owner's dock as you assumed that the new owner would pick up the boat.
