She's sittin' just a waitin' for someone to show up and sail away. Adding for a bump. Let me know if you have any questions!

Wondering what the general mood is out there. Does anyone have any insights on if we should be thinking of pricing his differently? Also would be interesting to know what selling in Mexico is like vs say, San Diego.



Thanks for the help!

Keep dropping the price until it sells. Or be prepared to be patient.


My opinion is that it's better to drop the price quickly to avoid the boat languishing for years, which leads to selling a worse boat for a similar price in the end, to say nothing of the time lost.


The larger your market, the better your prospects. San Diego is a huge city, close to an international airport. There will be more local buyers and it's more convenient to travel there if buying from afar.

Makes sense to me. We aren't in the hugest of rushes, but lets see how it goes.


Price Reduced!

Asking $50,000 or best offer, definitely looking to chat with you if you think you're interested!

I suspect San Diego is going to be better.. easier access for customers.. There is always a big cut in price if the boat is in MX.



Good luck... looks like a lovely vessel.
