There are a lot of places that offer free or low cost listings. You can post one in our classifieds too. The problem is that anything that starts to
work quickly dies out since it generates revenue from other purposes. For the most part you need to watch in a lot of places for the for
sale by owner boats. The ads tend to be small and not always as complete as a brokerage ad. It helps to use yachtworld as a place to just look at a lot of boats. It can cut your long list of possible boats down to size and help set your
price expectations. Once you have a small set of specific boats in mind it gets easier to search them out.
Owners groups on the
Internet are a great source of boats for
sale. Going to an owners list has a double advantage. You can read what people say about the boats, what problems they deal with, and when boats come on the market. You then are in a position to make an offer on a
boat before it goes to a
broker and the owner may be very happy to sell the boat quickly.
