Nice boat! I wish I was 60 years younger.
Thank you! I'm fine if I don't sell it, because a man can't have enough boats, but also don't mind giving somebody a great deal, as well.Quote:

Awesome boat. Wish I could afford it...good luck with the sale!
Just saw this boat at the boat show (but it was camo)... $29K+, multiple calls this week, but haven't seen a check. Spring is only weeks away!
How about the entry fee doubled plus taxes ? Deal ? Just kidding. Congratulations ��
Thank you Earl... unfortunately, I've turned down a hand full of better offers (and some worse... LOL) already.Quote:

What’s more important? You don’t need a knee sitting in a boat like that.Quote:

Congrats on winning the tournament and taking home the awesome prize. I was in big ticket retail sales for over 35 years and the challenge you are facing now is one I have seen many times when individuals try to sell new or almost new cars, trucks, boats etc., themselves. First, you are targeting only a small percentage of people who can actually afford that price range of boat... whether it be paying cash or going to their own financing source to get a loan at more conventional finance rates... and the fact that typically that segment of person feels much better about making their purchase through a local dealership... where they feel more secure that they "MIGHT GET" the benefit of better warranty, service and support. Additionally, these buyers generally hold out for bigger and better factory incentives such as year end closeouts, rebates, extended warranty protection and low rate financing and/or that special deal where someone has purchased such a boat and for some reason or another has to sell it at a "distressed" or greatly reduced selling price--such as happens from time to time on Craigslist.
That is a fine looking boat for sure and I feel sure you will find a buyer... but it just may take a little time. Good luck to you.
Thanks!! I agree with you 100%... and totally get it from the buyers end. I’m in no hurry, other than I want to use it more and more if it’s gonna be taking up garage space, and then I’ll want to keep it. Either way, it’s all good.Quote:

Speaking of taxes, will you have to recognize this sale (when it occurs) as income or a gain or how is that treated?
I want to be prepared!

Without saying to much, you have options when you're a tournament angler... oddly enough, sometimes it's better to consider your tournament fishing as a hobby not a job/company, which quite frankly, it is because it's not a full time job. When you take into account what it cost traveling the country fishing, you're in the red with your hobby even when you win a boat. I'm also a paid outdoor speaker, so I considered making fishing a business for tax reasons, but to my surprise it wasn't going to be beneficial because it was added "income". Now if you'd follow a tournament trail, and don't cash checks, and it's your full time job, you should definitely create a business.Quote:

Same thing as when you go to a casino and say win $10k....you can bet you have to report it. But on the flipside there are instances where you can show your "losses" at casino for the same year and help cancel some of the income out. There are tons of scenerios and always best to speak to a CPA if you aren't sure.
