Top 5 Ways to Sell Your Boat, FAST

Making sure you boat sells FAST is simple. By following these simple suggestions, your boat has the best chance to be seen and sold:

1. Price Your Boat Fairly

   Most buyers are looking for a "fair" price, and UsedBoats.com has exactly the right tools to accomplish that research.

   By utilizing our Value Analysis and Compare functions, you can determine how your boat price ranks in relation to similar boats in our database for reference. You can also change the price periodically, to stimulate more interest, through your account manager Boat Central page.
   

2. Make Your Ad Stand Out

   Our data analysis indicates that these ad enhancement options can increase ad viewing activity from 2 to 15 times normal.

   Feature your ad on the front page: Raise your ad's visibility by listing it in our Featured Boats section. If you choose this option, a photo of your boat will appear on the front page of UsedBoats.com for 7 days.

   Get your ad noticed: Give your ad priority in the results rankings. Gold Priority ads are returned at the top of the list of results rankings; Silver Priority ads are listed second, after the Gold ads.

   Make your ad more visible: Draw buyers' eyes and increase visibility by putting your ad in RED or BOLD text.
   

3. Present Your Boat with Quality Photos

   The best thing anyone can do to have their boat stand out is to post quality photos.

   Display your boats overall appearance by taking photos that show the “look” of your boat, highlight special features and above all, upload clear, high quality photos. Blurred photos detract from the overall presentation of your ad, typically detracting from the overall image of your boat.

4. Have Complete Specifications and Descriptions

   Giving potential buyers as much information as possible always enhances the Buyers perception of your boat.

   Filling out as many details as possible when loading your ad creates better chances for search matches. Itemize and list all key features in the ad description like electronics, conveniences and horsepower. Have a maintenance log and repair list prepared. Providing this information will bring peace of mind to any buyer, knowing you’ve taken time to take care of and document these issues.
   

5. Make Sure Your Boat is Clean and Operates!

   Cleaning and waxing your boat keeps it presentable, and makes the general first impression much more positive. Make sure all switches, fuses and electronics function properly. Be sure the engines are in good shape and run optimally, and if is stored, provide good ventilation.

REMEMBER:

Having an ad posted is more effective than none at all.

Don’t worry if the ad is not perfect; you can change it as many times as you wish, at no extra cost.

Change photos, add text, increase the price, anything, as many times as you like. Keeping your ad “alive” will always attract interested buyers.
