We need your input .........
 
When shopping for a performance boat which online classifieds do you go to most often. Also consider # of listings as well as site navigation and site search engines. We currently use BOAT TRADER and USED BOATS.com but are considering BOATS.com for 2008. One of the other if not both sites might be canceled by us.......Thanks for your input and posts.

Please keep in mind that although you may use more than one site listed in the poll, your vote should reflect the one you either GO TO first or find better than the others..........

I agree with eBay. even though I didn't win the auction, I got in touch with the seller via eBay and wound up buying the boat after the auction ended. I check ebay daily for boats and parts

I did the same on my first boat. Paid under what the reserve was so it worked out fo me.

Bought 7 off Boattrader.com and sold all of them on there as well

Yea, I think you ought to ad Ebay to your poll.

It seems alot of boats are on there just the exposure. Because what they list as the "buy it now" price is their asking price on boattrader and OSO.

Formula from dealer, Baja from ebay

Seems EBAY is a major destination (FOR BUYERS) how about sellers?....we have tried with zero luck......I wonder how many deals on EBAY are fair or is it just people looking to steal the boats cheap after the auction ends?.......If any other dealer on here could jump in......what has worked ?

Bought boats on :

When buying, I look at OSO first, then Boat Trader.
