Lloyd,

Another book I wrote is entitled "How to Sell Your Home in 5-Days."  The method also works for selling boats, selling cars, and renting homes and apartments--all of which I have done with great success.

You can't sell a boat in 5 days, but you can sell a boat in about a month, and get an absolutely fair price with neither buyer nor seller remorse.

The book is in most libraries, and is usually available from Amazon, although someone sent me an email last night advising that Amazon is almost out of them, and the publisher is currently reprinting.

I have another book on tap after Quote Without Comment, and then I am scheduled to write the third edition of "How to Sell Your Home in 5-Days" (this is why the publisher is forcing everyone to sell out their copies of the current edition--when the new one comes out all of the previous edition not sold can be returned by booksellers for 100% credit.)

The second edition hints at the ability to sell boats using the method, but doesn't tell how to do it.  The third edition will have a section on selling boats.  If you are interested in selling your boat using this method, I'd be glad to help you.  I have a web site www.5-day.com which gives you some idea of how the method works.  If you go to Amazon you can look inside the book.  There are "consultants" all over the country who make a living by showing people how to use my method and many of them have interesting web sites.  (I am not affiliated with any of them.)  But they have no experience with boats.

Let me know if you're interested.  It's a really nice way to sell any large item.  You'll sell for the highest possible price, and your buyer will buy at the lowest possible price.  You can do it yourself, there is no broker.  It's fast and clean.  I initially wrote the book a dozen years ago, and it's been in bookstores ever since.

Speaking of many things, I have begun to experience old age legs.  The problem has been increasing lack of mobility, stiff joints, difficulty bending over to pick up dog poop (a major factor in my life style), getting in and out of my car, and walking with a shuffle.  The solution, medication.  The results, not so great.  I guess I have to stop thinking of myself as a spry 65 year old and accept that the ensuing 13 years are beginning to take their toll.  I was ready to accept memory problems, I have always been a fuzzy thinker anyhow, but this has come as a surprise.

After spending three weeks off the water because of these problems I went out sailing last Monday.   Single handing as usual.  Beautiful day, peaceful, comfortably cool, and 
enough breeze to keep the boat going.  But what a reality check.  I had trouble moving from the cockpit to the deck, especially under way, and even more trouble going the other way.  Lame is too gentle a description.

In any event, I am beginning to think it is time to accept my single handing days are drawing to a close and begin playing more online Poker.   Therein lies my problem.  Uhuru II took water during last September's visit by Hurricane Isabel's storm surge.  No physical damage to the hull but lots of water below decks and a greater appreciation of Sam's built-in flotation.  Everything repaired or replaced.  But I need some advice about a fair asking price for an '84 Rhodes.  I have attached a list of some of Uhuru II's features.  She is at the Holiday Marina, Mayo, Maryland, in slip C22.  The sails are old but serviceable.  Any pricing suggestions would be appreciated!

Lloyd
