What kind of Bertram boats are for sale

How fast Bertram ads come down

Of 17 Bertram ads we watched end, 12% came down within 14 days of posting. Of 34 listed now, 27% have been for sale 60 days or more, counting re-posts as one boat.

Craigslist removes a post after 30 to 45 days, so a long listing time often means the seller re-posted. See how fast used boat ads come down for the method.

The 20 most recently seen of 69 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.
