Selling Triton w/Force for too much???

[mfurse]

I've been trying to sell my 1999 Triton TR-17 with a 120hp Force for about the last year with no luck. I'm down to asking $8900 and I owe $9300! Am I overpricing this? I checked NADA.com and a low retail price for this model is $9,500. Is a Force motor that bad? I've had great luck, its been a great motor. I just don't have time to use the boat.

Welcome to iboats.<br /><br />The Force is not with you. They had an iffy reputation when they were still being built (not all deserved). Now that they're not, they're an even tougher sell. Where are you at? Around here people are just getting interested. Now might be a good time to step-up your efforts. But for the most part, that price range ... people are looking for more modern technology.

I am located in San Antonio, TX. Not exactly bass boat heaven. Most people are looking for bay or ski boats.

They also have a case of Tim Taylor-itis, they want MORE POWER, or think they "need" it.<br /><br />You might try online, then ebay, then try a very short consignment contract at a dealer, maybe in Houston?<br /><br />I feel for you. I just checked a few that are for sale online. Price seems about right, but most that I found have bigger motors, not Force motors, and are probably in stronger markets.<br /><br />I feel for you.
