Selling my Investigator

Post by TheMonk »

Hi all, I'm selling my boat, Investigator 563, sail number 53, on good trailer. Mainsail and ferling headsail in in good condition. Comes with Raymarine A57d chart plotter and Raymarine ST2000 tiller pilot. Also 5 hp Mercury 4 - stroke outboard. Boat's in good nic with led lights all round and steel centre board replaced with an aluminum one.

Will put it up for general sale soon but thought I'd advise here first. What's a realistic price? John.

Edit. $7000 ono.

The market for boats is generally a buyers market at the moment. You are a bit early in the season, but I am guessing you could ask $8k. If you are in a hurry to sell then you might have to go lower.

Thanks Ian, I'll use that as a benchmark. I'll say $7000 ono, I'm in no real hurry, John.

Monk , I can post it on TSCOM if you like. Ian or others may post it on TSP for you. I am no longer a member there. Good price , I dont think you will have much trouble with a sale with all those nice additions. Good luck .

Ps don't forget to direct the new owner to the forum. ;)

Thank you Ozzie, if you could place it on the TScom site I'd appreciate it, I'm not a member there. I can place it on the Trailer sailer place site myself, I am a member there. It's a great little boat but I have to let her go. John.

I've now placed an ad on boatsales.com.au as well as advising of the sale on TSP. John.

I have posted it on Tscom John with a link to boat sales.com. The rich blokes on Tscom may buy it for their kids ;) , that's what I've suggested to them anyway. Good luck.

There is another 563 there for 6800 so your price is competitive.
