Deciding where to invest in fixing up your boat for sale comes down to two questions that every boat owner should ask themselves:
What will it cost to make the repair or upgrade?
What will it cost if I don't?
Fortunately, there are a few easy and inexpensive things you can do, which will always improve the marketability and speed up a sale.
Here's what the pros had to say:
- De-clutter by removing anything that's not intended to be sold
- Cleaning and waxing is the best money you can spend,including all compartments, lazarettes, bilges, storage areas, and awnings
- Buyers will walk right off a boat if it smells, take a sniff
- Keep the engine room clean and tidy
- Repair anything you already know is broken or defective including all electronics, lights, and accessories
