I recently sold a 208. I reached out to a few sellers on craigs list to see what they sold their boat for. This intel was very helpful in getting to know the local market. Adjust your price based on you own situation.

No matter your technique for winterizing (empty tank, full tank, etc), I think the #1 consideration is to have at least one spare fuel filter onboard per fuel line. In the event you do encounter water issues in your fuel, your fuel filter will get fouled. Having a replacement onboard can get...

Not sure if I would want to be near a semi-submerged boat it there were any sizable seas around. You may end up getting pretty banged up, and in the event it does decide to go to the bottom, you do not want to run the risk of being tangled with any lines. I think if I found myself in that...
