You have to be honest with yourself on condition, this is a 12 year old boat. First you need to get a price range to work within. Go to online boat sales sites and see what people are asking. Go to the local dealers websites and see what they have for sale.
If perfect or near perfect, follow Dave's advice. Shine and polish and fix up everything, put it on Craigslist ask 10-20% over market. Sell it for somewhere near market.
If not perfect and it will cost you more than 20% of the market value to make it perfect, do a quick clean up, then put it on Craigslist at 10-20% below market and sell it quick. It's usually not worth it to spend $1000 on a boat to get $1000 more in sales price. Unless the boat is unusable, let the new guy spend his money.
