Default Selling a boat

Can anyone give me a hint? Appreciate it.


Find out the list price from a couple of reatilers, I think our club
bought a similar boat recently and list was around 800 quid, but check
that out.

Remember that most retailers will knock 10% of list straight away
then, assuming it's in near mint condition, I guess you could take
another 25%, give or take, off. I'd say it needs to be enough of a
discount to make folks give up the brand new boat feeling and the
warranty/support they'd get buying new. Just my opinion though.

You've pretty much advertised on here, so try the 'for sale' forums on
the 'communicate' section SCA website[1] (though that seems to be down
at the moment) and the 'community' section of the UK Rivers site[2]. I
guess the SCA is only much use if you're in/near Scotland but you
never know.

Then there's a couple of UK paddling mags (Playboating, Paddles,
Canoeist). They all have classified pages.

Good luck.
