Selling Boats - Third Party Websites

[PeteD]

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience/recommendation regarding a third party sales website specifically for boats?

Thanks,

Pete

If you're talking about OnlyInboards -- I would recommend them.

If you're talking about POP Yachts, I'd avoid them like the plague.

Thanks - I am ignorant on the subject. I am in New England. I understand timing is against me, but I am hoping that an appropriate platform will still provide enough exposure to fetch market value.

I've only ever bought and sold through Craigslist. Onlyinboards in safe and legit, makes it easier to target potential buyers. Ebay is fine but fees can be high if they're not doing a discount offer. I would not list on any other site, unless you're in Canada I think it's kijiji is the CL equivalent that's popular there. Watersports or boat brand specific forums are good as well. Anything else comes across as a waste of time at best or more likely a potential scam, to me at least.

Craigslist, OnlyInboards, and boat specific forums. You should be able to sell through those avenues.

I peruse OnlyInboards pretty much every morning, and sold one boat through a "Featured Listing" showing up on a buyer's Facebook feed. I highly recommend their services!
