jees peter thats a bit sad.

all i can say is if your unsure dont sell her.cause we both know if you change your mind later and decide to buy another it will cost twice as much.
good luck

Congrats on the sale mate. Hopefully doesn't hurt too much to let her go! :'(

[snappa]

NO FRILLS

no gaurantee
already having second thoughts :-/

[bungie]

Then its a bit unfair to put the buyer through it all ?? :-/ :)

[Big_Kev]

I am never sure when I sell a boat either Pete, but if you offered it for sale to start with it must be time to move on.
Cheers Kev. :)

[dfox]

depends on how much the offer is i supose, but new boats arent cheep. in the end ihope it all works out well, what would you get pete to replace her?

[snappa]

dfox

thinking about a signature 540 ???
something i can handle myself and tow up the beach

yes .. they are costy looking at boat point last nite..
i will probably make my decission tomorrow going to have a look at the 540 and offer them a price..
not sure.. what sort of money would you think a 540 be worth..
hate paying the yards comm. for selling a boat for someone ????

[dfox]

Id have no idea what they'd be asking for a 540 pete, you must have had kelloggs for a while now, i seem to remember seeing it around for quite some time. you probly remember my old boat "barracuda" i used to leave out of scarborough a lot in it. heres a pick.

15 years approx.

the buyer just came out of the blue ????
i did have it for sale but of late i wasnt thinking about it.
the cat can sit in the shed as it doesnt cost me any thing to feed it.

i have done some sums if i was to repower the cat say with 115 2 s
approx 16k

to take the offer on the table and buy
another boat i would be putting this amount in also
its good to talk about it because it helps me to make
a decission and at this time i may have the cat a little longer
i cant feel sorry for him because he looked at the boat 5 weeks ago and made an offer
way below what i wanted.
and never let me know what was happening untill he attented the boat
show...and ring me

[snappa]

ps

the mind is not as good these days
but it looks a good boat how hard was it to sell it ???

[dfox]

its a hard one to say, but id rather be in the cat when a SE comes up then a 540,
plus 2 engines are better then one.
repowering is probly what id do, but if you
plan to do a lot of beach launching id prefer a plate boat say like gregs.
only because its more duriable on sand and gravel.

[snappa]

dfox

thats why i was looking at a 540 fibre. because of the weight for a better ride than the alum.
not really concern about the damage to the boat from launching.
provided i have some reds on board ??? ::)
i know the ride will be s*** but i only planned on one trip every 6 weeks :)
give d/tempest away :-/ when im finished i can get the geloat repaired ;D

[boatboy50]

Hey Snappa,
The 540F's are good, but i would'nt pay anymore than 26-28k privately. Youll expect to pay around 30-32k from a yard. They are a dime a dozen at the moment, everyone seems to be selling theirs (does that say something?)
Good Luck
Darren

b.....50

:o looked at one to day but i wanted to make an offer :)
boat on consigment and he wanted me to sign a contract >:(

i know i have been out of the buying for years but is this standard practice. ???
couldnt believe it
all he had to do was pick up the phone and ring me :-/
so i walk out... what a jerk >:(
went to wynnum marine and lookedat a explorer 600 :P

great looking boat with a price tag of $49k :-[
its as if "kelloggs" and i will be together for a few more ;Dyears
