Absolutely the start of the season is the time to sell - trying to sell over winter is when the bargain hunters and flippers are out. Old mate was selling due to a marriage breakup and didn't have time on his side. My advice for an easy sale is to ensure it's freshly serviced and ready to go with everything functional and clean. It's so easy to lowball on a boat at any time of year when maintenance isn't up to date, or there's no paperwork for it, and things look untidy. I'll need to take some more off my offer to take care of that".
