    Question TIPS FOR SELLING MY 20 YEAR OLD SKEETER

    I'm forgetting to pull up the trolling motor, falling down, and etc, so I'm going to sell it. I just need some help on how to describe it other than pictures which I have. I have no clue on how to describe all the plus and minus stuff.
    Thanks for any suggestions, as what's important to one is not to another.

    Regards,

    George

    just tell it like it is, give the good and the bad and what you expect to get for it and see what happens.

    The world record largemouth bass was caught by George Perry in Montgomery Lake in Georgia in 1932. The world record bass was 22 pounds and 4 ounces. That world record has held up for 8 decades! Some people were skeptical of this world record because no pictures had been found, but in 2006 relatives of George Perry produced pictures of the world record fish. Below is a photo of George holding his record largemouth bass.


    Was this caught on the bank?????????????????????????

    I think it was just a little humor, possibly in reference to some folks on the board who refer to themselves as "boatless bank trash" in a funny, self-deprecating sort of way...just a joke.

    I don't think he meant anything by it either, kind of an inside joke if you will.
    I don't have any advice except sorry to hear your troubles.
    What about adding handrails or something ? Maybe an ulterra to help with stowing the tm ?
    There's got to be a way if you really wanted to keep it. There's a guy on here that locks his wheelchair in his boat somehow. Anyway I wish you the best and hope you can still get out there.

    Give the make/model of the boat, motor, and trailer. Post a lot of pictures no need for you to waste your time typing out details they can see in the pictures. Be very clear about the amount you want for the boat or if your willing to take offers. A good used boat that has been maintained won't be for sale very long.

    Nope, it's a ZX185C dual console with a Yamaha 150 carbureted.

    OK y'all, thanks for that info. I didn't know what it meant. No problem here, because I like jokes too.

    I had a 2000 zx185 with all the bells & whistles, it was hard to sell it since so many guys want 19' and bigger boats. You'll be sitting on it for awhile most likely, unless you sell it dirt cheap.

    Don't get roped in to giving free test rides on your boat for sale. Get a deposit to be taking off sale price if they buy. lots of tire kickers out there...

    Buy you a Ulterra and lower and raise the motor with a remote.
