If you want to get interest in the boat through your ad,

#1 Post as much detailed info on the boat as you can. How long have you owned it, and what do you know about it. Are there any electronics with the boat and what models and vintage are they. What are the full details on the motor. What year is it, how many hours are on it, what are the compression readings on each cylinder and what is the service history. Are there any items that come with the boat like canvas Etc? Dual Batteries with a Perko switch while nice, are not a terribly attractive selling feature all by themselves.

#2 Post a number of quality images of the boat you have listed.

#3 lost details on the trailer..What brand is the trailer, and what is it's vintage. Is it road worthy? What condition are the tires in? When where the bearings last repacked?

#4 Understand the market and your hull's market value. While Ribsides are limited due to production the still and valued like other Whalers. It all comes down to condition and condition is KING. Beat up, worn out Ribsides are out there and most have listing prices in the $4500 - $6500 range. and those are asking prices showing the seller is willing to work with a buyer who has money. With your listing price being above market value, demanding of cash only and your stated unwillingness of listening to offers will be a turn off to prospective buyers.
