Hi Patrick Yes .. not just pictures of the interior is good advice. However just pictures of the exterior features only is also bad. You should have pictures of both and if possible information on age of sail inventory, electronics, engine information and the like.
My experience is that boats showing only interior pictures have concentrated on the interior and neglected things like sails, rigging and other gear. Ads with only pictures of the boat sailing and shots of the electronics, winches, sails, etc … probably have not cared much about the interior. The C&C 24 is a starter boat and as such for many prospective buyers their first boat. Potential buyers will be interested in the layout and interior condition as they may not be familiar with C&C 24 as they are likely new sailors or first time boat buyers. Showing that your boat has update winches, sails, rigging, etc .. a recent model outboard motor, cushions that are not from 1974, etc .. will make your boat more attractive than others from the same era. 24 foot sailboats are not very expensive to purchase these days but if a new main sail or genoa is required those are very expensive! Good luck!

With respect to the latter, are you a member of any of the Facebook C&C groups? You could try there. Also Usedvictoria, craigslist, kijiji, varagesale, etc. Look at detail provided on some of the broker sites in terms of details, listing of included equipment, etc. Online sites vary in terms of number of pictures , etc allowed, so I'd make up a fact sheet / scan copies of survey, etc (redact personal information) and extra pictures and put them up on a image hosting site like Flickr. Then link in the ad. By the way I hate ads that show multiple interior shots and nothing of any of the systems, engine, etc. On Wed., May 13, 2020, 9:01 a.m. Patrick Wesley via CnC-List, <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: Regret to say that the time has come to part with The Boat after many years of great fun.
