sold, closed today! Cash sale, no contingency or survey. Closed 10 days after listing the boat.
As an aside to those who think used boat market is soft. If you have taken good/great care of your boat, clean up the clutter and take nice pictures, and price reasonably, you can sell your boat quickly.
I listed the boat 10 days ago on sailboat listings, fielded a call from the buyer within 12 hours, and followed with 22 more calls/emails in past week. Probably could have gotten 1-2 K more if I had really wanted, but at the cost of entertaining numerous tire kickers, more storage costs, or gasp- hiring a broker.
