Default Selling and Buying a used Boat Questions

Could use a little information for something I am working on please. When selling or buying a used boat what sources do you get your information from? I am aware of obviously the OSO classifieds,Boat and Yacht Trader, National Liquidators, E-Bay,and Craigs list. What am I missing on the national level? Thanks!!

Why not contact a broker directly. After trying to sell my old boat for almost one year, I contacted a broker and it was sold within a month and even with his fee I made out better than doing it myself.

This will help you gather info on any documented vessel. Just type in the vessel's name and narrow it down.

Correct, as long as its documented. There are alot that are not, for many reasons, as there are those that are.
