Writing a good advert - what\'s the secret ?
Sadly the time has come to sell our Regal 2150, we've got an impending overseas move with work and I can't persuade work to ship it out for us (to Sydney, Oztralia) and I'm gutted, it would be perfect for here /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I know it's going to be a challenge to shift in the current market, especially when looking around on the likes of boatsandoutboards & apolloduck they're available from anything between £11-17k, which is why I'd like to garner advice on how to word the adverts and where to put them. I've got loads of photos both outside & inside taken when it's been sunny(!) so should be able to display it well enough on the interweb.
This is my first stab at the ad and it looks a bit 'wordy' to me, please all help / critique is welcomed.
Regal 2150 LSC, Year 2000 UK model.
Powered by Mercruiser 5 litre V8 EFi, 240hp on Alpha 1 leg with 3 blade S/S prop. Green / white combination with 2 berth V-cabin, comfortable for overnight stays. Approx 200 hrs from new, recent antifoul and full engine / leg service carried out ready for the season. Kept in freshwater marina for last 2 years or on trailer (twin axle SBS roller trailer). All original handbooks from UK dealer and receipts. SSR registered as Whi-Ski-N-Water.
Comes with full camper canvas re-proofed last year and full tonneau.
Fitted with standard instrumentation of speedo, rev counter, oil & water temperature, depth gauge, trim, fuel, voltmeter, compass, navlights & stereo along with Raymarine VHF & Lowrance LMS525C colour chartplotter.
Auto & manual bilge pumps, portaloo, anchor & all fenders, coastal flare pack, ski rope, in fact everything needed to go out on the water.
In excellent condition both inside & out with a survey done 2 years ago when we bought it. Very clean cabin & interior, all carpeted with sink, cupboard, table, reversible helm seat and infill seat to create full sunpad. Drop down swim ladder.
Extremely fast boat with the Regal Fastrac hull design giving GPS speeds of 50+mph yet also a capable and economical cruising / sports boat with 140+ mile range at 25-30 knts. Much loved boat only for sale due to impending overseas move and we can’t take her with us. Possible delivery if costs are covered. Located in Cardiff, South Wales.
I'm writing this from Sydney (where it's raining for gods sake!) so please excuse me if I don't reply during the day !!
Thanks all
Mike
