Where would you find boats for sale? I can't imagine keeping an eye on the classifieds in the local paper till a nice Donzi popped up

I could give a **** less if they walk and talk text Wtf ever. What pisses me off is texting and driving. Think drunk driving is dangerous?

We used to cruise the local marinas. As for parts, just dumb luck in most cases and ordering out of magazines by using a phone.

we had a newsprint magazine type thing that came out each week called the Trading Post. They were geographic but I think were all over and eventually became Traderonline (I think) you just had to scour them each week tney had boats, cars and parts sections along with all kinds of other stuff for sale.

Lived and died with Boat Trader. I remember looking at the ads for the 24' Jaws for $14,990 and thinking how long I had to work bagging groceries at Publix. Decided I need a job upgrade quickly.
