Default 2008 21 Contender w/08 250 E-tec Fresh Water
I'm fearing the big D so I need to go ahead and prepare myself.

Its a 2008 21 Contender with a 2008 Evinrude 250 E-tec. Boat has a custom T-top, stereo, VHF radio, Garmin 540s, trim tabs, dual batteries, stainless steering wheel, and has only been in fresh water.

Its sitting on a 2008 aluminum continental trailer.

Boat has very few hours and always run with XD-100 oil. Motor warranty wasnt started until April of this year and has 3 full years of coverage.

I will take $37k firm for the boat and no trades considered. Again this boat has very low hours and is absolutely as new. I'll get the pics up soon.

Boat is located in Alexander City, Alabama.

The boat seems great on fuel and much better than my last cc, 23 Reg with 225 4t, and is a fast boat. It'll run out 54mph and cruise anywhere in between.

The E-tec has been flawless and I'm happy with it. It is the only E-tec I've owned and I have definitely been impressed with it.


The big D= divorce

I think I'd keep it and see what happens. Unles you have kids, and depending how long you've been married, etc..you may come out all right.

I did just that. When it came time to divide the assets...I told my X if she wanted the boat then she could buy my half for the value that she claimed the boat was worth. She didn't want the boat and wanted her share of half of the value now. Boats in this economy are severy depressed so I used that to my advantage when buying her out. I will tell you I have used and gotten more joy this year from boating than ever before. Because the other ladies are going to want to go boating. Strategize wisely and keep your head up/
