How much should I sell my 2016 242 for?

No people aren’t nuts, just “ Realistic”.
It’s funny how people buy these boats with Yamaha”s financing and throw 0 down and roll 2k worth of accessories and tax and license into the sale. 5 years later they still owe close to what a new one cost and somehow they think they can get that much out of it when they sale it. I’ll admit it can happen and does some times. Just depends on the sellers situation.
 
Like I posted earlier. I got 51k for mine 3 days after posting it. Same boat. Don’t get all antsy in your pantsies and take some low ball offer. I would not take anything under 50k for it. Stick to your guns and be patient if you must.
 
I feel like I priced fairly aggressively at 50,000 obo with absolutely no response. May be too late in season?
 
I think the season and geography where you are at may be the main issue. How quick are you wanting to sell? How long have you had it listed? If it’s on Craigslist make sure and advertise it on several cities. The add that sold mine was from Minneapolis Which is 2.5 hours away. The guy that bought mine drove from Wisconsin, 5 hours away. This late in the season I would keep it posted for what you have it at and repost next year in May. Just my 2 cents.
 
I love that my boating season is 365 days a year lolol
 
it beautiful there that is for sure. And the elevation change is just something that you don't really get in Texas.
Boating year round is not important for me at all LOL
