selling a boat?

[Natural Light Kid]

i have a 16/48 semi vee with a tohatsu 40 tldi i'm about to put up for sale. i'm debating on spending money on a jack plate before i put it up for sale. my thoughts are that it would help sell the rig vs. just having the motor directly on the transom. i was curious if y'all thought i would get my $140 (cost of jack plate) back in the sell and would it help sell the rig. thanks

I wouldn't, but that is just me.

Try it without first.

Don't waste your time or money, if buy wants jackplate let them buy it and spend their time setting motor up...... just my .02

Yep, what he said. It involves more than just drilling 4 holes and bolting the jacklate on. If you don't spend the hours to properly set the rig up after installing a jackplate, it may hinder a sale. If both rigs were equal, I personally would buy the rig with no jackplate, it shows that you most likely did not marsh fish much.

i'm going to ask $6,950. it's in awesome condition. it's a 16/48 weldbilt semi vee, 40 hp tohatsu tldi, 65# minn kota. i traded for this boat a while back and have never put it in the water. i painted and rewired the boat, and it looks brand new. after i put all of this time and effort into, i decided to get a bay boat. i haven't even put the motor on it yet. i will soon, and when i do, i'll list in the classidieds with pics.
