I prefer more descriptive terms that actually say something like;
Bone dry decks
Deck hardware re-bedded on 2007
No
mold or
interior boat
odor.
Eat out of the
bilge
oil changed every 30 hours
Tranny fluid changed every season
Antifreeze changed every two seasons
Sails washed, folded and stored in climate control
environment during off months.
Awlgrip finish new in 2005, shows no scratches and is in like new condition
Prop shaft trued, prop balanced and
motor aligned 2007
All new running
rigging 2007
PSS
Shaft Seal 2007
Re-wired with marine grade tinned wire and heat shrink crimps to ABYC E-11 standards 2006
etc. etc.
That is how you sell a boat!!!
Knowledgeable owner? Yeah one who was a freaking SLOB and drained his
oil into the
bilge and who had knowledge that his decks had been leaking for ten+ years!!
Look for REAL language when
buying a boat and a detailed list of upgrades and maintenance. most brokers stink so badly that they never even ask an owner for a list like this.
When I list a boat my broker gets massive word document of maintenance standards and upgrades with a list of items I want on YachtWorld. If they don't get up on YachtWorld I bug him until it is all there..
My
boats always sell quickly and for top
price but it's me making sure potential buyers understand the boat not the broker doing the selling....
I also make sure they have photos like these:
Yes this is a 30 year old bilge and the ORIGINAL
gelcoat not
paint that will peel:
