Best way to sell a boat?
Not trying to post an ad for my boat, and I know wake world has classifieds itself, but outside of Craigslist and eBay(which i would rather stay away from), are there any better resources out there?

Onlyinboards.com, boattrader.com, local consignment
|
Onlyinboards.com and craigslist

OIB. Craigslist sucks these days IMO. too many tire kickers and BS'ers looking for a boat ride.
found my current ride on boattrader |
Boat specific forums as well.
|
I remember back in the day when WakeWorld was the best place in the world to sell a wake boat. Back when it was free.
|
Definitely OnlyInboards :) But it's always best to get it out there in as many places as possible.... you can list for free on OIB FYI
|
Don't use boat trader. When you search for a Nautique with a search area of 1000 mile, no boats are found.
|
WW use to be a great place to buy and sell wakeboards etc. Its weird how all that went away.

We sold our boat the week before Memorial Day weekend. I was skeptical about listing it on Craigslist but went for it anyway. I did get a couple Nigerian inquiries but the first guy that sounded interested wanted to come that day and buy it. I asked him if he wanted to do a sea trial but we're hours for the lake, it would have been a fiasco trying to get that organized. Anyway he showed up the following Saturday with new diesel Dodge dually and a cashiers check for full asking.
Craigslist worked for me. |
never had a problem finding or selling with craigslist.... common sense weeds out the fake inquiries. tire kicking is part of the process imo. Its not fun, and people will waste yours and their time- but a tire kicker becomes a buyer at some point.
