Used boat sites?

keysd13 · 01-21-10, 12:42 PM

I'm starting to look for a used boat and was wondering if anyone had any good sites to check out. I've found bass boat central and boattrader.com. Also i'm looking for something with a 150 on it and would like to know your thoughts on a good setup. Thanks in advance.

You can also check craigslist as well. The two that you mentioned are both great places to start. You may have to travel but I believe there is a place in Indianapolis that deals in repo's. They usually have really good prices.

As for a setup for a 150 you will be looking at an 18' boat with a 90+" beam. All manufactures make a "cookie cutter" boat in that length. I would look at dealers near you to see who services what engines. If you end up with a Yamaha and the nearest certified mechanic is 100 miles away that might not be good. But if you have a merc dealer around the corner that might be better.

But BBC has a lot of great information on it about all types of boat and motor combo's

Also be sure and try craigslist.org they usually have a lot of boats, just be cautious...if it's too good to be true it probably is.."Caveat Emptor"
