Now I watch sailing videos on U-Tube wishing I had a boat again.
Maybe I'll take up smoking instead

Good luck selling the Box. Maybe you should wait till spring to sell, except that is when boats are priced high as well
24 foot what? I owned a Cal 28 for half a decade.

Let's hear the issues mods and asking price....

You’re welcome. I usually check the usual suspects for pricing trends and availability weekly. There was another 550 Boxster SE with ~25k miles listed for 26 or 27 kUSD a few weeks ago, but it has disappeared.

In the morning I’ll cut & paste what I sent another member a few days ago via email.

The site won’t let me attach pics. Shoot me a PM and I’ll get an email to send them to. Asking 14,500. Take 12,500. When I list those will go up a bit.

This is what I sent a couple other members.

Sorry for the delay in getting with you. I’ll send pics from my phone after I send this. Bought 5 years ago in Los Angels and it had 119k. Has like 141 now. It has never been outside overnight in the 5 years I’ve owned it. The last year its sat all year and been started weekly / bi-weekly. Drive it once a month. Reg is a year behind because I don’t have time to get a temp and the inspections and emissions and all that. I can get this done so it’s current.

New:
Michelin Pilot Sport tires
Brakes / fluid
Clutch (Pelican master kit with new DMF)
CPS
Both headlights new, factory
Water pump
Fuel pump
Drivers trailing arm
All 4 wheel bearings
AOS
CV inner / all 4 boots
Pentofrost coolant
Alternator / pulley
Belt
* I have most old parts from all projects

Mods
UD pulley
Low temp stat
Cat delete rear both
LN IMS bearing SN on door and hood
Oil filter adapter to filter all oil at start up and uses spin on filters
Hawk pads and rotors
Shift lever leak fix with new roller bearing and seal
* I have most old parts to put to stock

SE features
Book says a few mm lower. I can’t verify that.
Uses 987 air filter from factory
Book said wider TB to get the few extra horses it’s supposed to have over an S
4mm spacers all the way around stock
GT metallic silver, only 986 to come with a 911 color factory
Wind screen between head rests
Short shift lever
Full cocoa brown leather wrap interior
Special tips and bumper grill inserts
Black S gauge faces with chrome rings around them
Litronic xenon headlights work great, new. Has leveling arms on suspension.
Has factory sub woofer on shelf behind seats.

The bad.

Couple tiny scratches. Door jambs can be sprayed for sure.
CEL x 3. 1) Cat underperform forget which side. Saw this twice in 5 years. 2) Very slow leak detected in fuel vapor recovery. Saw this monthly when driving daily. 3) SAI under perform. Saw this more commonly. There was a thread where Jaeger cleaned the ports while the cats were off and problem solved. It’s not the pump or housing I was told when I had that looked at.
Not original rims but I always really like the look
Tiny bump or raised spot on leather on dash. It can be re-glued or fit but I’m not that daring and it’s not that noticeable.
Clutch creek is noticeable after more spirited summer driving. I was told it’s to do with using the longer clutch pivot point stud that came with the master kit, which also changed engagement point from low to floor to near top of travel. Never pulled trans to fix that because it drives great and it’s not always there. I’d swap it back. Clutch has less than 5k on it.

Feel free to throw out any questions. I don’t think I’m missing anything. That’s the car pretty much.
