idk. that seems like a reasonable price for that boat with all of the accessories. try more ads like in the paper and a sign stating the price and a phone number.
Maybe you need to put an add in the local paper, or on EBay, or Craig’s List.
Maybe place it along side a busy road with a ‘For Sale’ sign on it.
By the looks of the question you are trying to use the questions section to list your boat for free.
sure you can if you can find a idiot to by it for that price, its only worth about 12000
Here where I live in Florida used boats are a dime a dozen. Look at the economy and several very large boat manufacturers are closing their doors. It is not just your boat, but toys are the last thing on peoples mind with the cost of fuel and groceries. My neighbor had a 4 year 19 Mako with a 150 on the back, all the bells and whistles. Listed at $21,000 but the only offer after approx 10 months he got was $13,500. He took what he could.
Decide on the real reason for selling… It sounds like you dont use it since it has sat for 2 years… if you need the cash, drop the price. If money is not an issue get it out and use it, you are wanting more than you will ever get for it, or at least around here.
My brother in law bought a similar version (fewer options) last year and paid around $8000…. that would be the low range, expect $11000 as high
Probably because it is over-priced. It is only a 17′ boat with a 75 hp engine and it is 7 years old. What does a new one cost? Strip off a lot of the extras like the radios and the trolling motor and the GPS ,the life vests, battery charger, etc. The stuff that you can put on another boat.
Look around and see what other boats this size are selling for new. Look at online listings for this size boat that is used.

The big problem with selling a boat right now is the price of gas. People dont want to spend alot of money on a recreational vehicle that uses alot of it. You will need to lower your price. Also, as another poster already stated its a 7 year old, 17 foot boat with only 75 horse…realistically only worth about 12-13k, especially in this economy.
