Time to sell the Schock 23.2

[dinomium]

So I just got a Catalina 30 so my 23.2 and trailer will have to be put up for sale soon and I am looking at my list of deferred maintenance.
Is the juice worth the squeeze when it comes to dollars spent? Going to do a new bottom for sure and swap out a screaming sheeve on the jib hal.
Other items would be:
New outboard? Old smoky is really putting out the white smoke under the water. 50% ROI on new outboard?
Add spin crane? Always wanted a second halyard for the asymmetric but just never got to it.
Rebuild the trailer brakes? Have never used the trailer in 6 years since I keep her in the water. But I have it and the previous guy did haul the boat with his SUV with out em.
Redo the anti slip paint?
Stuff cushions?
Or value price it as is and let the new owners have all the fun>

Give the list to the new owner. They will be excited to save money and learn to do the work themselves. And you can enjoy your new C30. I am sure it needs some attention aswell.

If you looking for return on investment, make sure it is spotlessly clean and touchup any wood varnish. Replacing hardware …you’re gonna lose that money

Present the boat as clean as possible .
Being honest about would be nice for the boat to have will go very far in establishing you as an honest seller .
As mentioned , I really don't beleive you will get a decent return on your investment .
At the very least I would pay some attention to the trailer . The prospective buyer wants to know he stands a decent chance of making it home .

Time and money spent on cleaning products will reap rewards in price and speed of sale.

Do make the trailer road worthy, this thread explains why:

Best way to transport first boat? Advice Requested

A friend and I bought our first sailboat! It is a Morgan 22 (similar to Catalina 22). We need to transport the boat to our home Marina which is about 25 miles by water (Lake Erie) or by road. And we can't decide on the best way to transport it. Let me briefly go over the state of the boat...

As a former sailboat dealer, you have been given some good advice. Look into donating the boat too
