Why it pays to proof-read classifieds

[KeithV]

Once again, my wife is right and I am wrong! I posted our 2004 Horizon Cat for sale last month. She asked me today if I had any inquiries. I said No. She asked how much I was asking for the boat. I told her $27,000. She looked at the ad and said "well, your ad says $37,000". As usual, she is correct. My finger must have slipped and I never noticed. So, if you know of anyone looking for a like-new Horizon Cat (for $27,000) that has been lightly sailed in fresh water for only 3 seasons, please let me know. Thanks.

Like-new ComPac Horizon Cat! SAILED IN FRESH WATER FOR ONLY 3 (that's right...THREE) SUMMER SEASONS. STORED INDOORS AT ALL OTHER TIMES. Only 20 hours on the engine. This boat is so lightly used that the sail still makes a "crinkling" sound when you lower it! Stored in a barn from 2004 to 2014 makes this boat as new as a used boat can be. $27,000 or best offer. Serious buyers only please. 216-292-5799. keithvoigt1@gmail.com

It might be a good idea to post a link to your ad. 

Based on all the info the you provided above there is no way of knowing where your boat is.  Miami?  Seattle?  It might be helpful to someone shopping.

Best of luck on the sale.

ALSO SOME PICTURES OF THE ACTUAL BOAT ARE ESSENTIAL.

Thanks for the suggestions. I can't figure out how to post pictures on this site. Any advice is welcome.

Here are some simple directions I posted previously:
Rob

Go to Photobucket and set up an account.
Click on Upload....you can upload from Computer, Facebook or URL.  My photos are on my computer.  Click "choose photos and videos"  Choose the file your photo is in, click the photo and it will download.  Once it is downloaded, the photo shows up on the lower part of the page.  Click on it.  Then you see the photo and to the right click in the box to the right next to IMG ("Copied" shows up in the box).  This will copy the link.  You can now go to CPYOA, start a reply, and paste the link (easiest way is to click "control v").  The photo should show up in your post and you are good to go.

The directions I posted were for a PC.  The only difference for an iMac is the last part when you paste the link.  Instead of "control v" click "command v" on the iMac.  It really is a pretty easy process using photobucket.

Say Keith

I am not looking for a new HC, because I have a 2004 HC myself, but I was wondering if I could visit one day this fall and see how you added some of the options to your boat that you list.
