There is a market for used, home built-boats coming from a well-respected brand.
I sold my S&G Pygmy for $700. Now, Pygmys are very well regarded and hold their value well (relative to others).
When I listed it, I got several people interested the same day.
CLC - not so much - I see them for sale very cheaply.
Waters Dancing is another brand that may have above-average appeal to buyers.
Home-built based on non-descript design = bottom of the barrel.
However, if your boat is exceptionally good looking, you still may sell it well.
Still, prepare to wait for a VERY long time (and market it region-wide)
