Been there--twice. Murphy's ninth corollary: "When it looks like everything is going wrong, and you sell the boat, suddenly something goes right." (Then you buy a bigger boat!)

John, have you tried a broker? That's how we sold our C22. They take a cut of the $ but have the ability to reach out to a broader customer base.

I've held out on the broker thus far but that's next if I don't get a few nibbles. Hadn't thought about Texas Sailing. I'll check them out, David. Thanks guys.

I'll second Randy's suggestion... Before you do too much price-dropping, give a broker a shot at a higher price (so you can net what you want). That'll get you on Yachtworld--the premier site.

One more thing: E-mail through the site seems not to work most of the time... That, or many spam filters catch e-mail where the "From" (the other forum person's e-mail) doesn't match the source server (the association's server). Your listing here should probably include some contact information like a "camouflaged" e-mail address.

John.....I believe I saw a posting awhile back about possibly trading your C-250? Don't know if your possibly interested in a 2002 C-22 MK-II?

Damn... nice boat, but too far from me :(

There isnt much Catalinas 25ft here in Europe... and for the new one 250 the Netherland CatalinaYachts is asking 33000 Euro :( :(

Btw: Do someone knows how much it could cost to ship a boat to Europe?

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">No, but just about every one of us who has listed a boat on the internet has had an offer to ship it to Nigeria for a check for an amount well above the asking price plus shipping, with the overage to be returned to Nigeria when the shipping bill is determined. (Then the check bounces long after the fact, the boat is gone, and the returned "overage" is also gone.) You could try that.

Careful Dave, sometimes sarcasm doesn't translate well.

Tomas, Dave was making a joke.
