This is an absolutely beautiful boat. Showed my wife pictures and she loved it. I'm afraid at this time we're not ready for our next boat change, but if we were, yours would be high on the list to check out. Your price is awesome, I looked up same model comparisons and they were all WAY higher. I'm sure someone will jump on this pretty soon!

That's the problem, I do have to listen to her :) And she has declared that a) We'd have to sell our current boat first. and b) We have to determine where we stand with certain investments. Darn, drives me nuts when she's practical!

Road trip to FL! We can go look at Shep's boat (saw a nice bigger sabre in HH - maybe a 42 - beautiful lines) then down to land of the reposessed and get a twofer.
Or maybe just head to the lake and enjoy our current rides - oh well, nevermind.

Ok. We're ready to give our silverton away to get the next boat. Price reduced. $190k and she's spotless down to her engine room. We're making some changes and ready to take the leap so come buy this boat at a steal of a price.

Thats a good idea Tony. Why don't you do the boat raffle. Sell tickets $200 a pop. If you get enough you do it. If you don't you return the money. Then you have to do a independent raffle drawing somewhere. Guy did that near me like 5 years ago, but the boat was only like $15K and raffle was $100

If I recall there are gaming laws impacting the ability to raffle the boat? I guess it's a case of the "cobbler's children have no shoes"- I've sold a surprising number of boatsthis summer as a broker (34-50 range) yet my boat remains unsold! haha. Obviously having gasers has been a limiting issue and the fact it's on land locked lake lanier. But- it's still easily shipped anywhere and would make a perfect weekend/casual cruiser for a family and it's honestly in excellent shape. It's a great boat- just not the type of boat that is best suited for our next phase of boating and lifestyle we are going to start moving towards and hopefully moving that way soon!
Someone needs to buy it so we can move forward with the plan we've hatched for a grand adventure for our family. If you buy it we will send you post cards. :)

Damn Damn Damn no raffle than I am out again. Going to start playing the lottery. Let me tell you I just refinanced and close tomorrow on a 10 year loan no points at 4 percent and for that rate could have bought a lot of boat.

Tony,
Have you tried to trade your boat towards another? I just traded my 1990 34 Silerton on a 2002 28 Cruisers. I just figured it was my best option at this point. Didn't want to start again next year.

It feels VERY weird to have sold her...kind of like selling a family member or something. She was an excellent boat and we have amazing memories of our time with her. She passed survey without a single item noted of concern which was no surprise to us as we kept her up very well. Buyer got a heck of a steal but that's ok- I will get a heck of a steal on our next ride. reality is the market is absolutely terrible and only getting worse so all in all, not a bad deal and it frees up to buy the next boat. We would be upset if it were not for the thought of buying our next boat. The next one we will get what we really want and a boat that can go long distances and keep for a long time. The HUNT is officially ON!

It took me about a year and a half to sell my boat finally at a greatly reduced price. However, I also bought my new one at a very low price. More then 50% off what it sold for just three years ago. Great time to buy, terrible time to sell.

Congratulations, Tony! Must be a great feeling to finally have her sold. Now, if I could just get mine sold. I'm in talks with a broker in Florida about trading mine for one of there's, but the 'deal' he is giving me is not all that good.
