I always loved the design concept of the kk42's. However all the recent threads about expensive fixes of waterlogged bottoms has turned me off.
Yachtworld has a 1997 KK42 in Fla with a solid frp bottom This seems like the way to go or even a newer 39.
IMHO JohnP
How much does it cost to sell a boat through a broker?
A percentage of the sale price I assume .... 6% .. 10% ?
If I tried to sell Willy myself I'd probably ruin many sales w my direct mouth.
When the time comes it would'nt hurt to get some scope.
It costs 10%. With any boat of appreciable value such as the one in question, it just broadens the potential buyer pool.
IMO todays buyer is often unfamiliar with the size boat they are looking at and is unable to tell a well maintained boat from one that is not so they buy exclusively on price.
Stout is an amazing boat, IMHO, and worth much more than the sum of her parts. That said, another issue aside from those already mentioned here is financing. I assume that due to her age there are few if any banks that would consider giving a loan on the boat, and the fact is that there are not many people who are able to simply cut a check for close to $300k (and those who are able to do so may very likely be looking at newer boats). That also shortens the potential buyer pool. Also, I think most people do searches on Yachtworld based on criteria, including price, and if someone is searching for a 1985 boat, they may very well have put the search price much lower. All this said, for someone Stout is going to be a very, very nice boat.
I wonder if the '83 and '86 sold in WA via the same broker, were the same boat each time.For your reading enjoyment
I wonder if the '83 and '86 sold in WA via the same broker, were the same boat each time.
The '83 sold in Feb and Mar.
The '86 sold in July and Sep.
Broker flips maybe?
