    Hello,

    Just looking for a boat to use this year - recently sold ours but won't be getting the new one till summer 2018.

    Thinking 16-18' aluminum tiller, prefer somewhat of a floor but open to anything.

    Send me a message with what you have.


    Thank You

    Looks like the kijiji ad is not up so I'm guessing it sold

    Not sold...

    I got tired of the tire-kickers.

    "Oh, but it has dents"
    What do you expect!? It's a fishing boat
    "Will you take $4,000.00"
    Um... that's 3.5k less than what I was asking.

    The cherry on top goes to the guy who showed up at my place BEFORE we had agreed to meet and proceed to rifle through all my compartments. Caught it all on wifi camera. When confronted he denied it.

    Don't really feel like people coming into my driveway when I'm not there.

    Not desperate to sell my boat because I love it. But, if the price is right, absolutely.

    $7,500.00 OBO.

    I'll PM pics and what not to anyone is interested.

    Did you find a boat? I have a late 80's Crestliner Nordic Id part with. 16 foot, 40 hp Johnson tiller that runs like a top (early 90's vintage I think). Also has an older 36 lbs, foot controller power drive bow mount and a Humminbird 688 with DI, GPS and canada hotmaps card.

    I was going to wait until spring to sell it, but its ready now for a fair price. Im guessing if you've waited this long though, you'll just keep waiting until next year?

    That's brutal. Some people have no ethics whatsoever.

    That's actually a great way to eliminate annoying tire kickers. Will get you a lot less traffic, but if you're not in a hurry to sell, who cares

    I was lucky when I sold my old tinner. 3 people looked at it, 3rd guy hooked it up and drove off smiling, the previous two were serious buyers but it wasn't quite what they were looking for.

    That might be true but my automatic assumption is they're hiding something and I move on to the one with pictures showing. Like saying please contact for price, it's not that I'm lazy but if the next ad has pictures I'm more interested in that one.

    Selling used stuff can be a hassle either way. Especially if you aren't in the city.

    A lot of it is how you advertise it. I have bought and sold a ton of things on Kijiji and as a friend of mine alway says there is a buyer for everything. You have to do a good job of advertising and have good pics IMO. Just sluff off the tire kickers or the low ballers. I live out of town and for the most part don't have a hard time selling anything to date. The object has to be priced right though. A fair but not overpriced price.
