When selling your boat, you want to get the best possible price. Listed below are some points to help you achieve this.

1. Make sure the boat is clean! You would be surprised how many boat owners skip this easy step. When a boat is clean it shows a prospective buyer that it was cared for.
   
   
2. If the boat needs repairs, have an estimate made by a local boat repair facility. This will show a prospective owner that you recognize the need and the cost of making a repair. It will also keep price haggling to a minimum.
   
   
3. Be reasonable in your price approach, check local and regional boat ads for what owners of similar craft are asking. Leave room for negotiations but don't over price your boat out of the market!
   
   
4. If you have an emotional attachment to your boat, remember it is better to sell the boat while the memories are still good. Usually the new owner will be just as caring for a boat as the previous owner.
