Selling a boat

#1 Post by robster » Sun Jun 05, 2016 12:39 pm

Is Craigslist the best place to sell our 2011 Manitou tritoon? I currently have it listed on Craigslist but is that the best place to sell?

Thanks much,
Robert

Craisgslist or BoatTrader.com.

Be careful. A lot of Scammers out there.

Just a hint. When I sold my bowrider I made up a slideshow on Photobucket and put the link in the post. It was more effective than the photos you can include with your ad. I also took a screenshot of the KBB value and used that as my last slide. I had multiple offers and sold it the first day.

Here's the link if you want an idea:

I used Craigslist to sell a center console Scout flats boat. It was the quickest sale I ever made. Within "5" minutes after posting on Craigslist I had a serious buyer. The first caller bought the 1997 Scout boat. Guess that's just luck...
