[Public-List] Selling the "good old boat"--any suggestions about this ad?

[Randy Katz]

Greetings, All,

Below is a link to the advert for my 1967 A-20, #249. (Posted on Craigslist
and on the Latitude 48 website.)

If anyone has feedback about how to improve the ad or make the boat more
saleable, I'd appreciate hearing from you. I know that doing bottom work
would help, and I'm hoping to hand that task off in exchange for a suitable
price reduction.

I realize this isn't the best time of year to sell and am planning to
extend the advertising until next spring if needed. I'll pay moorage along
the way since I would lose my slip if I stored on the hard for winter (@
$100 less per month than in the water at the slip).

My bailout plan is to donate the boat to a local radio station for auction,
which I really prefer to avoid. It's a great boat that would bring someone
much pleasure and cruising gratification! After 20 years of sailing all
over the PNW, it's time to give it up and move on.
