Those are the top spots BUT I would recommend PLACING a craigslist ad in the boats section and asking if anyone has what you are looking for...A lot of times someone is thinking of selling and your ad may prompt a phone call. Ive had a lot of success with this approach for vehicles.

Searchtempest.com and yakaz.com both search classifieds.
I found one of mine at shogren(pier57) and the other on boattrader.

As most have said, post what you want here in general section and trust me when I say you will get help!! Its winter, we are bored and love to spend someone else's money for a change!! Lol, but I am sure you know that hence your thread count!

Kind of up in the air with what a want. Been looking at 382 Fastech, Donzi 38zx, PQ Avenger, sonic 386, and even Black Thunder 43.

Here's what I want, 6 foot cabin, enclosed head, AC for the gf, and efi's preferably 500s. Steps would nice but not a must. All this for under 90k.

There out there just wanna make sure I dont miss something. I know theres a few boats out there that were post but are taken down for the winter. There was a ZX in Maryland all fall but not there anymore like to know if its still for sale.

Thanks
