Ok folks, what's wrong with my ad? I've had 227 views and no interest?

Wouldn't say there's anything wrong with your ad. I would say it's a market issue. Most are looking for a CC. Very small crowd looking for walk arounds. Just my opinion. I could be totally wrong.

Thank you Spruill242. I was beginning to wonder what was up. That might explain why I've gotten several low ball offers. I think these SeaCraft to Tracker transition boats (?) are getting fewer & fewer. I thought we had her priced good because what I've been able to find on line suggests $12,500, but she needs some gelcoat repair, otherwise she's a great boat.

Seems like a good, honest ad to me...but here are my thoughts.

1. Tracker era SeaCraft walkaround just isn't in as high demand as the CC and Tsunami/Scepter.
2. The walkaround doesn't have as attractive styling/lines as other walkarounds in that size range. That's my personal opinion though...
3. Although they were rehabbed, the engines are 30 years old and you don't have documentation on what was done. 105/110 psi sounds low for a 2.0 Merc to me. If memory serves, it should be closer to 125 hot. If those are hot numbers, it may indicate the engines are tired.

Could be way off the mark, but that's what came to mind.

Thanks Brian. I appreciate the feed back.Compression readings with with cold motors. I drain the gas tank & run the motors out of gas every season. I have & can run the engines from a gas can. A sea trial would tell the potental buyer that the ole gal has a lot of life left in her.

$6,500.00. I have started the gel coat crack repairs. There are 2 stress cracks, one on the port side & one on the bow. Both repairs has been completed with fiberglass. They need gel coat, which I'm working on. Repair estimates from 2 shops were $1K.

do you have pics of the cracks. It might be helpful to know how extensive they are.

CD emailed a really nice set of detailed photos to me last year. I will let him respond but I don’t think there was much to scare off many on this forum.

CD, have you tried listing on any sites dedicated to Great Lakes fishing communities? Below was mentioned the market appetite is for CC’s. Cuddys, hard tops and WA’s are still very popular up here. Very few SeaCrafts over here but these hulls are a great match for our choppy conditions. I think it would make a great walleye/salmon rig.

Thank you SSPBill. I may go that route for more listings.
