in todays climate i think you would probably get an old landcruiser and one massey ferguson tractor--- and i just happen to have one of each, i could probbably cut you some slack and throw in a 2.4m inflatable, that way you still be able to get out on the water.  

there is not 1 white pointer on trade me i believe at present..so it should move fairly quickly if you put what you think is the high side of what you want and im sure the offers will come,also white pointer have a used section on there website could be worth a shot,any pics?

Thanks for the input guys. Yes its gut wrenching to have to sell the boat, I have never been without a boat for 33 years, so it's a big deal for me.

Sell 8-10 shares in it.......people do this all the time with planes and helicopters, things that they want to use but not all of the time, even doing it with holiday homes.

Trouble is CaptnPhil due to recession, people know most sellers are letting go of their toy's (and in your case pride and joy) because they may have to rather than because they want to. Same goes for luxury cars and coastal property etc..... I've got an 07 735 Excess with 250 4/stoke Yamaha and she's immaculate.... maybe not as rugged or manly boat as yours, but top of the range Buccaneer all the same. In drystack, so no trailer. I looked to offload on TradeMe a few months back. It's a $130k to build new all day long but closest offer was $80k, so said stick it where the sun don't shine....  The boat will still be worth $80k in 4 - 5 years time..!! So anyway I've hung on to it and am pleased I did... but mate, if ya got no choice, she's gotta be worth $85 - $90k so hope you can sell her
