Preparing Your Boat for Consignment
Your used boat should be in good overall condition before it goes on the market. Test the engine and electrical systems, and check on details like batteries, electronics units and trolling motors to confirm that everything works properly. Once you've checked your boat over, you will want to give it a good cleaning. Remove all your personal items, and scrub every surface of your boat using a soft brush and a mild detergent. Then you can buff, polish, and wax the exterior of your boat for a healthy sheen that will attract buyers.
Pricing Your Boat
Boat pricing can be tricky, and this is where consignment really comes in handy. When you consign with Clark Marine Sales, you can rely on our industry expertise to help you determine the right price. If you want to get some idea of your boat’s resale value ahead of time, you can look up its make and model online, or consult a marine blue book. Just keep in mind that the condition of your boat will be the most significant factor in its resale price.
