re: What should i ask for my boat?

I'd ask on the higher end of whatever you're thinking. A few years back I sold my flat. It as a 16' CC flatboat with a Yamaha 40 and a trolling motor. All the gauges and stuff didn't work anymore. It was about 7 years old. I parked it on the main road in Slidell and asked around $4K for it. Within a couple hours I had a few guys who all wanted it and were racing to get to me with the cash first. I wish I had asked another $500 or so for it. Lots of people looking for little boats like that. When the first guy got here, it wouldn't even start. It had laid up for about a year unused, but started fine when I tested it that morning. He didn't even care that it wouldn't start.
ETA- You can always come down on your price, but you can't go up.
