Preparing your boat for a fast sale

You've made the decision to sell your boat and have chosen Gaston's Seagate Marine Sales Inc to market it. You might ask yourself, "now what"? "How can I improve the chances of my boat selling fast and for the best possible price"?

**First Impressions are everything**

Today's pre-owned boat market is crowded, and in turn, full of competition. The last thing we want to do in this challenging marketplace is make apologies to potential buyers because this isn't clean or that doesn't work. This can make the difference between selling your boat fast for the best price possible or the boat sitting on the market for months, finally selling out of desperation for a drastically reduced price.

Everything should be cleaned inside and out:

• All hatches and lockers
• Bilges
• Inside of console
• Cabin (if applicable)
• Head systems
• Hull bottom and sides (repaint bottom if necessary)
• Gel-Coat buffed if necessary
• Engine

We offer detailing and repair services, if you need them, to help get your boat ready for market. Once your boat is up to par, our full time boat washers keep it there with multiple washes a week.

Remember that when a buyer makes an offer on your boat, the offer is subject to sea-trial and survey. If the buyer is not satisfied with your boats performance or condition, he will not buy your boat.
