If you are seriously in the market for buying or selling a boat a very informative question to ask of a broker whilst on their premises with them and looking at their details of recently sold boats, preferably boats of a similar specification to yours, of what you are interested in buying is.

"What was the actual selling price?"

We had some who declined to answer, fair enough, but  In the case of Rugby Boats under it's current owners, our experience, when we were on their premises, was that they were both forthcoming in answering, and  that the split between asking and selling prices was remarkably small.

The way that question was answered was a major factor in our selection of them to broker the sale of our boat.

Our experience too on selling, was a prompt sale at very close to listed price , even though we had had initial  misgivings that perhaps the suggested  listed price was quite ambitious. 

This is interesting to note, thanks for posting

Please let the forum know when you have bought a boat, and which one.

And most importantly enjoy your companions, your boat, the canals and rivers, other boaters, other waterway users, cwf members and the weather, listed in increasing order of variability, hopefully!

Be wary of giving too much weight to any answers you might get.
