A. Absolutely!! You are going to have one chance to make a great first impression on a potential buyer. A poorly maintained boat will reflect many things to a potential buyer. "Did he neglect the rest of the boats care as well?" That question will be the first thing in a buyers mind…wouldn’t it be in yours? In addition, you stand to lose thousands of dollars on the resale. Well-kept boats move faster and return more to the seller than neglected ones. It’s just that simple.
