"Whats are the secrets to selling your boat..?"

First,  help potential buyers feel the joy and excitement of owning your boat.

Potential boat buyers must be able to imagine themselves sitting at the controls of the boat you want to sell and feel the thrill and joy of owning the boat you want to sell. This is the beginning of desire that creates action. The more potential buyers you help reach this point,  the more potential buyers will call for more information about your boat.

Most buyers, especially first time buyers, can't really imagine from just a printed description in a classifed ad what the boat you are trying to sell looks like. Some may have an idea from previous knowledge, but few if any, can visually imagine themselves sitting at the controls as they move over the water. With few exceptions, there is really very little manufacturer or model identification for brand names of boats. This is the main reason newspapers and most classifies list boats by length and not manufacturer name as they do with cars. Ask any experienced boat salesman and they will tell you that one of  the first question most people ask when responding to a classified newspaper ad is " What does the boat look like."  

A picture is worth a thousand words. If a boat buyer is looking for this type of boat, a picture helps create the desire to reach for the phone and call for more information.

Second, get a picture of your boat and its features in the hands of people looking to buy a boat.
