Pop Yachts, anyone ever used them?
They are trying to get me to list my boat with them, I have never read anything about them.

There are a few threads on them, search...I remember there being decent input.

I can't see how they really do anything but list your boat on boat trader and then take calls. I'm sure you still have to do all the picture taking answering questions etc. you are just doing it to one person vs every person that calls. Then they take a fee for the $50 listing...

I called about a boat that they had listed when I was searching for a boat to purchase earlier this year. As anyone would, I had a lot of questions. All they could answer was what was already posted in the listing which wasn't much. Their response was: put in a offer and we can take it from there. Needless to say, that didn't happen and I never
Looked at any other boats that were listed by them. |
I have sold a few boats, never used a broker, I just told them I was not interested. Sold my last two boats on boattrader. One last weekend coming up and to the barn with her. I will re-list it in the spring when the snow melts.

Can't say from a Seller's perspective but from a Buyer's perspective, I don't have a lot of faith in them. One good thing is that they try to document photowise any issues with the boat. My bad experience has come from the broker not using any filter whatsoever in sending me listings that he thought I would be interested in. Sort of the ole throw up as much crap against the wall as you can and see what sticks.
Dont' really see how they get any more exposure than you would with a Boat Trader, OSO and Craigslist ad. |
My only exposure to them is when I was looking for an express cruiser, they would have the same boat listed for sale for between $2,000-$10,000 more than the owner-generated Craiglist ad for the same boat. Same pictures too.
