[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 252995, member: 1485"] As much as it pains me, I want/need to sell my boat, a 1992 Alumacraft Classic Deluxe. It was my grandfather's. He gave it to me when he moved into assisted living about 8 years ago. At the time it had been kept under a tarp and was in pretty darn good shape (still is) for a 29 yo vessel. The boat motor was blown (stupid cousin) and it hadn't seen the water for over a decade. I put a new-to-the-boat 1997 40 horse Johnson on it that purrrrrs like a kitten. Swapped out the old depth finders for a new down imaging Bird. Updated the bow mount to a 60 lb thrust Minn-Kota. Cleaned it up nice. Fixed one of the seats that dry rotted. Replaced the trailer lights. Added some rod holders. The whole 9 yards. What I've found, unfortunately, is that with two kiddos in daycare, a two-stall city garage, and honey-do lists that are never ending, my time and space are limited. And even when we do get out (twice last summer) it's crowded. It's a three-person boat tops. Four is pushing it and makes for not-so-fun outings (even if the persons are half persons a.k.a. children). I'd like to sell it and not lose my shirt in the process. I've seen POS versions of this boat going for $3,500, so I'd think $5,000 is fair. Then again, I'm not in the boat business. Does it make sense to start higher? I'm assuming the closer I get to May, the better my odds of moving it. Anything boat guys look for specifically when buying a used boat? I have a title and it's licensed in Nodak. [/QUOTE]
