Make an offer! Why do people sell boats? They meed money to: pay for college, buy a bigger boat, start a business, etc. I sold a boat in early March at a low ball offer because I didn't want to be a two boat owner, I didn't want to pay launch, spring tuneups, etc. Saved me thousands and the buyer had cash in hand. I made a low ball offer on my next boat and was successful. I didn't argue about some fix up stuff. Through casual conversation and Google I learned the owner had left his company and was starting a new business. He wanted immediate cash flow and did not want to continue paying yard fees while he waited to sell. In both cases, the asking price was just a place to start a conversation.

I apologize if this moves the thread off point a little.
