Plans On MEGA hold
Posted by kyle williams on Sunday, April 22, 2012
My mother passed away on Feb 13. I am still here in Logan Utah with dad. I expect to be here for some time. Since the slip rent after a few months far exceeds the street value my boat, I decided to sell her. ARGH. Like cuitting off my leg. the transaction went pretty well. I drove down there for a quick trip in mid March to clear out all my stuff and get her ready to sell. Mostly polish and a bit of paint. Kathy Krantz and Bill Jenks gave me huge help in getting it done. I ran adds on craigslist and other places, got several calls. My friend Mike Gunning in Dana agreed to show her to any qualified buyers I sent his way, and she sold in 3 weeks for the $4500 I was asking. (plus $200 for the slip which I had to pay for an other month anyway!) I may have been able to get more if I waited, she is an incredible boat in fine condition, but since i am not there, I didnt have that luxury, and it doesnt take many months of slip rent to offset any increase in sale price, so i think it turned out well.
I have no idea how the future will play out, as we never do. I am sure it will involve a boat somehow. I am so thankful i had the chance to spend a fine part of my life on this fine craft. I hope the next owners will enjoy her as much as i did.
